* This is a breaking change (and only slightly) if you used dependencies with `yield`, used `except` in those dependencies, and didn't raise again.

server communication, the keys are case-sensitive. A bug introduced in Kubernetes 1.8 caused the API server to accept a request with incorrect case and coerce it to correct case, but this behaviour has been fixed in 1.11 and the API server will once again be enforcing the correct case. It’s worth noting that during this time, the `kubectl` tool continued to enforce case-sensitive keys, so users that strictly manage resources with `kubectl` will be unaffected by this change.

- After DBus restarts, make `GracefulNodeShutdown` work again ([#100369](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100369), [@wzshiming](https://github.com/wzshiming))

- Correct a reference to a not/no longer used kustomize subcommand in the documentation ([#82535](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82535), [@demobox](https://github.com/demobox))
- kubectl could scale custom resource again ([#81342](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81342), [@knight42](https://github.com/knight42))

## Known Issues

- If kubelet plugin registration for a driver fails, kubelet will not retry. The driver must delete and recreate the driver registration socket in order to force kubelet to attempt registration again. Restarting only the driver container may not be sufficient to trigger recreation of the socket, instead a pod restart may be required. ([#71487](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/71487))

- Fix: After a Node is down and take some time to get back to up again, the mount point of the evicted Pods cannot be cleaned up successfully. (#111933) Meanwhile Kubelet will print the log `Orphaned pod "xxx" found, but error not a directory occurred when trying to remove the volumes dir` every 2 seconds. (#105536) ...

### API Change

- Make STS available replicas optional again, ([#109241](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109241), [@ravisantoshgudimetla](https://github.com/ravisantoshgudimetla)) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]
- Make STS available replicas optional again. ([#113122](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113122), [@ashrayjain](https://github.com/ashrayjain)) [SIG Apps]

- In the `wait.PollUntilContextTimeout` function, if `immediate` is true, the condition will now be invoked before waiting, guaranteeing that the condition is invoked at least once and then wait a interval before executing again. ([#119762](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119762), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan))

- api-machinery utility functions `SetTransportDefaults` and `DialerFor` once again respect custom Dial functions set on transports ([#65547](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65547), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Failed pods associated with a job with `parallelism = 1` are recreated by the job controller honoring exponential backoff delay again. However, for jobs with `parallelism > 1`, pods might be created without exponential backoff delay.
