- kube-proxy: os exit when CleanupAndExit is set to true ([#76732](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/76732), [@JieJhih](https://github.com/JieJhih))
- Kubernetes will now allow trailing dots in the externalName of Services of type ExternalName. ([#78385](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78385), [@thz](https://github.com/thz))

### Node

- The Service field `spec.internalTrafficPolicy` is no longer defaulted for Services when the type is `ExternalName`. The field is also dropped on read when the Service type is `ExternalName`.

# v1.8.11

[Documentation](https://docs.k8s.io) & [Examples](https://releases.k8s.io/release-1.8/examples)

* Update kube-dns to Version 1.14.10. Major changes: ([#62676](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62676), [@MrHohn](https://github.com/MrHohn))
    * - Fix a bug in DNS resolution for externalName services
    * and PTR records that need to query from upstream nameserver.

- CoreDNS correctly implements DNS spec for Services with externalNames that look like IP addresses. Kube-dns does not follow the spec for the same case, resulting in a behavior change when moving from Kube-dns to CoreDNS. See: [coredns/coredns#2324](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/issues/2324)
