* 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)

* 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))

- 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]

    * 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))

- 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.

    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]
