* Protobuf serialization does not distinguish between `[]` and `null`.
API fields previously capable of storing and returning either `[]` and `null` via JSON API requests (for example, the Endpoints `subsets` field)

  * OOM parser uses kmsg

* Sharing a PID namespace between containers in a pod is disabled by default in version 1.8. To enable for a node, use the `--docker-disable-shared-pid=false` kubelet flag. Be aware that PID namespace sharing requires Docker version greater than or equal to 1.13.1.

### Bug or Regression

- Empty values are no longer assigned to undefined resources (CPU or memory) when storing the resources allocated to the pod in checkpoint. ([#117615](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117615), [@aheng-ch](https://github.com/aheng-ch))

runs a process in an existing container. Also like `kubectl exec`, no resources are reserved for ephemeral containers and they are not restarted when they exit. Note that container namespace targeting is not yet implemented, so [process namespace sharing](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/share-process-namespace/) must be enabled to view process from other containers in the pod.
