- `service.kubernetes.io/topology-aware-hints` annotation has been deprecated.
  - kube-proxy now accepts any value that is not "disabled" for these annotations, enabling custom implementation-specific and/or future built-in heuristics to be used.

* [stable] [cri-o](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/cri-o): CRI implementation for OCI-based runtimes [[@mrunalp](https://github.com/mrunalp)]

  * Passed all the Kubernetes 1.7 end-to-end conformance test suites.
  * Verification against Kubernetes 1.8 is planned soon after the release.

- Added swap to stats to Summary API and Prometheus endpoints (stats/summary and /metrics/resource). ([#118865](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118865), [@iholder101](https://github.com/iholder101))
- Added the implementation for `PodRecreationPolicy` to wait for the creation of pods once the existing ones are fully terminated. ([#117015](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117015), [@kannon92](https://github.com/kannon92))

- QueueingHint implementation for NodeAffinity is reverted because we found potential scenarios where events that make Pods schedulable could be missed. ([#122285](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122285), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Scheduling]

- Service session affinity timeout tests are no longer required for Kubernetes network plugin conformance due to variations in existing implementations. New conformance tests will be developed to better express conformance in future releases.
