Extensibility. SIG API Machinery added a new class of admission control webhooks (mutating), and brought the admission control webhooks to beta.

### Apps

The core workloads API, which is composed of the DaemonSet, Deployment, ReplicaSet, and StatefulSet kinds, has been promoted to GA stability in the apps/v1 group version. As such, the apps/v1beta2 group version is deprecated, and all new code should use the kinds in the apps/v1 group version.

* ConfigMap objects now support binary data via a new `binaryData` field. When using `kubectl create configmap --from-file`, files containing non-UTF8 data will be placed in this new field in order to preserve the non-UTF8 data. Use of this feature requires 1.10+ apiserver and kubelets. ([#57938](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57938), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))

- Added a new IPAddress object kind
  - Added a new ClusterIP allocator. The new allocator removes previous Service CIDR block size limitations for IPv4, and limits IPv6 size to a /64 ([#115075](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115075), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, CLI, Cluster Lifecycle, Network and Testing]
