* Fixed racy panics when using fake watches with ObjectTracker ([#61195](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61195), [@grantr](https://github.com/grantr))
* Fixed mounting of UNIX sockets(and other special files) in subpaths ([#61480](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61480), [@gnufscied](https://github.com/gnufied))

* PodSpecs containing parent directory references such as `..` (for example, `../bar`) in hostPath volume path or in volumeMount subpaths must be changed to the simple absolute path. Backsteps `..` are no longer allowed.([#47290](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47290), [@jhorwit2](https://github.com/jhorwit2)).


### API Machinery

    * - Don't generate empty record for externalName service.
    * - Add validation for upstreamNameserver port.
    * - Update go version to 1.9.3.
* Fix mounting of UNIX sockets(and other special files) in subpaths ([#61480](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61480), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))

  If the `subPath` is a file rather than a directory, Pods may fail to start ([#45613](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/45613)).

  **Do not upgrade to v1.6.3** if your cluster may run Pods with such subPaths.

    * Implements subPathExpr field for expanding environment variables into a subPath
    * The fields subPathExpr and subPath are mutually exclusive
    * Note: This is a breaking change from the previous version of this alpha feature

  // Expanded path within the volume from which the container's volume should be mounted.
  // Behaves similarly to SubPath but environment variable references $(VAR_NAME) are expanded using the container's environment.
  // Defaults to "" (volume's root).
  // SubPathExpr and SubPath are mutually exclusive.
  // +optional
  optional string subPathExpr = 6;
