- Replace scale down forbidden window with scale down stabilization window. Rather than waiting a fixed period of time between scale downs HPA now scales down to the highest recommendation it during the scale down stabilization window. ([#68122](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68122), [@krzysztof-jastrzebski](https://github.com/krzysztof-jastrzebski))...

- Fix: set "host is down" as corrupted mount ([#101398](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101398), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]

  
  Also, compute the backoff delay more accurately for deleted pods. ([#119466](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119466), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps]

* Kubeadm now includes CoreDNS version 1.6.5 ([#85108](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85108), [@rajansandeep](https://github.com/rajansandeep))
    *  - `kubernetes` plugin adds metrics to measure kubernetes control plane latency.
    *  -  the `health` plugin now includes the `lameduck` option by default, which waits for a duration before shutting down.

* Orphaned routes are properly removed from terminated instances. ([#56258](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56258), [@databus23](https://github.com/databus23))

* OpenStack Cinder will now detach properly when Nova is shut down. ([#56846](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56846), [@zetaab](https://github.com/zetaab))
### Scalability

- Fixed incorrect calculation for ResourceQuota with PriorityClass as its scope. ([#117677](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117677), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei)) [SIG API Machinery]

  without risking breaking old clients, such as controllers.

- `kubectl delete` no longer scales down workload API objects before deletion.
  Users who depend on ordered termination for the Pods of their StatefulSets
  must use `kubectl scale` to scale down the StatefulSet before deletion.

- `kubectl run --env` no longer supports CSV parsing. To provide multiple environment

#### New API fields:

* Bump version of all prometheus-to-sd images to v0.2.2. ([#54635](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54635), [@loburm](https://github.com/loburm))
* [fluentd-gcp addon] Fluentd now runs in its own network, not in the host one. ([#54395](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54395), [@crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))

- Fixed subpath in containerized kubelet. ([#69565](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69565), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane))
- Fixed panic on iSCSI volume tear down. ([#69140](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69140), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane))
