## Changelog since v1.8.1

### Other notable changes

* Allow for configuring etcd hostname in the manifest ([#54403](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54403), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))
* Allow standard flags in client-gen. ([#53999](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53999), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

* The Kubelet's deprecated `--allow-privileged` flag now defaults to true. This enables users to stop setting `--allow-privileged` in order to transition to `PodSecurityPolicy`. Previously, users had to continue setting `--allow-privileged`, because the default was false. ([#63442](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63442), [@mtaufen](https://github.com/mtaufen))

- Added --authorization-always-allow-paths to components doing delegated authorization to exclude certain HTTP paths like /healthz from authorization. ([#67543](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67543), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

    * ACTION REQUIRED: The deprecated Kubelet flag `--allow-privileged` has been removed. Remove any use of `--allow-privileged` from your kubelet scripts or manifests.

* Allow Cinder volume limit to be configured from node too ([#74542](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74542), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))
* Fix subnet annotation checking for Azure internal loadbalancer ([#74498](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74498), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

### Fixes

* 🐛 Allow exit code for dependencies with `yield` to always execute, by removing capacity limiter for them, to e.g. allow closing DB connections without deadlocks. PR [#5122](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/5122) by [@adriangb](https://github.com/adriangb).

  * Allow configuration of a single security group for ELBs ([#45500](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45500), [@nbutton23](https://github.com/nbutton23))

  * Remove check that forces loadBalancerSourceRanges to be 0.0.0.0/0. ([#38636](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/38636), [@dhawal55](https://github.com/dhawal55))

    * configuration scripts to allow configuration of signing duration of
    * certificates issued via the Certificate Signing Request API.

* GCP: allow a master to not include a metadata concealment firewall rule (if it's not running the metadata proxy). ([#58104](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58104), [@ihmccreery](https://github.com/ihmccreery))

### Other notable changes

* StatefulSet: Set hostname/subdomain fields on new Pods in addition to the deprecated annotations, to allow mitigation of Pod DNS issues upon upgrading to Kubernetes v1.7.x. ([#50942](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50942), [@enisoc](https://github.com/enisoc))
* Azure: Allow VNet to be in a separate Resource Group. ([#49725](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/49725), [@sylr](https://github.com/sylr))
