- Added the `applyconfiguration` generator to the code-generator script that generates server-side apply configuration and client APIs ([#114987](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114987), [@astefanutti](https://github.com/astefanutti))

- Projects which use k8s.io/code-generator and invoke `generate-groups` or `generate-internal-groups.sh` have a new, simpler script (`kube_codegen.sh`) they can use.  The old scripts are deprecated but remain intact. ([#117262](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117262), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))...

* kubeadm 1.8 now properly handles upgrades from to 1.7.x to newer release in 1.7 branch ([#53338](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53338), [@kad](https://github.com/kad))
* Add generate-groups.sh and generate-internal-groups.sh to k8s.io/code-generator to easily run generators against CRD or User API Server types. ([#52186](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52186), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

workspaces.  This should not impact end users at all, but does have impact for developers of downstream projects.  Switching to workspaces caused some breaking changes in the flags to the various k8s.io/code-generator tools.  Downstream consumers should look at staging/src/k8s.io/code-generator/kube_codegen.sh to see the changes.
