* Bugfix allowing use of IP-aliases with custom-mode network in GCE setup scripts. ([#62172](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62172), [@shyamjvs](https://github.com/shyamjvs))



# v1.9.7

[Documentation](https://docs.k8s.io) & [Examples](https://releases.k8s.io/release-1.9/examples)

- We’re working to simplify the Windows node join experience with better scripts and kubeadm. Scripts and doc updates are still in the works, but some of the needed improvements are included in 1.15.  These include:

* Fixes issue where subpath readOnly mounts failed ([#63045](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63045), [@msau42](https://github.com/msau42))
* Bugfix allowing use of IP-aliases with custom-mode network in GCE setup scripts. ([#62172](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62172), [@shyamjvs](https://github.com/shyamjvs))

- Lower and upper case feature flag values are now allowed, but the name still has to match. ([#121441](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121441), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))
- Makefile and scripts now respect `GOTOOLCHAIN` and otherwise ensure `./.go-version` is used. ([#120279](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120279), [@BenTheElder](https://github.com/BenTheElder))

    - https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/92250
  
    To address this, the new debian-hyperkube-base image (v1.1.0) uses the
    debian-iptables base image (v12.1.0), which includes iptables-wrapper, a
    script used to determine the correct iptables mode to run in. ([#92494](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92494), [@justaugustus](https://github.com/justaugustus)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle and Release]

## Dependencies

- Kubeadm: Some text in the `kubeadm upgrade plan` output has changed. If you have scripts or other automation that parses this output, please review these changes and update your scripts to account for the new output. ([#98728](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98728), [@stmcginnis](https://github.com/stmcginnis)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- The `generate_groups.sh` and `generate_internal_groups.sh` scripts from the `k8s.io/code-generator` repo are deprecated (but still work) in favor of `kube_codegen.sh` in that same repo.  Projects which use the old scripts are encouraged to look at adopting the new one. ([#117897](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117897), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin)) [SIG API Machinery]...

    * enforces  kubeadm  upgrading kubernetes from the same major and minor versions as the kubeadm binary.
* Bugfix allowing use of IP-aliases with custom-mode network in GCE setup scripts. ([#62172](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62172), [@shyamjvs](https://github.com/shyamjvs))
