### Tools. JPS

- [`KT-63594`](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-63594) ClassCastException in JPS statistics

- Added `ListPager.EachListItem` utility function to client-go to enable incremental processing of chunked list responses ([#75849](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75849), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz))

- Fixed issue with incremental id generation for `loadbalancer` and `endpoint` in `kubeproxy` mock test framework. ([#120723](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120723), [@princepereira](https://github.com/princepereira))

UpdateOptions and PatchOptions respectively. Signatures of Delete and DeleteCollection methods now accept DeleteOptions by value instead of by reference. Generated clientsets with the previous interface have been added in new "deprecated" packages to allow incremental migration to the new APIs. The deprecated packages will be removed in the 1.21 release. A tool is available at http://sigs.k8s.io/clientgofix to rewrite method invocations to the new signatures.

- The following deprecated metrics are...

    * a. kubectl get pod test-pod -o custom-columns=CONTAINER:.spec.containers[0:3].name
    * b. kubectl get pod test-pod -o custom-columns=CONTAINER:.spec.containers[-2:].name
* scheduler: use incremental scheduling cycle in PriorityQueue to put all in-flight unschedulable pods back to active queue if we received move request ([#73309](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73309), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))

* add goroutine to move unschedulable pods to activeq if they are not retried for more than 1 minute ([#72558](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72558), [@denkensk](https://github.com/denkensk))

  - If the custom resource participates the spec/status convention, the metadata.generation of the CR increments when there is any change, except for the changes to the metadata or the changes to the status.
  - If the custom resource does not participate the spec/status convention, the metadata.generation of the CR increments when there is any change to the CR, except for changes to the metadata.

For the 1.8 release, SIG Node continued to focus
on a broad set of workload types, including hardware and performance
sensitive workloads such as data analytics and deep learning. The SIG also
delivered incremental improvements to node reliability.

### SIG Network

### SIG Node

SIG-Node advanced several features and made incremental improvements in a few key topic areas this release.

  clock desync. ([#118922](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118922), [@champtar](https://github.com/champtar))
- `plugin_evaluation_total` metric supports prescore/score extension point.
  The metric doesn't get incremented when the prescore/score plugin has nothing to do with an incoming pod. ([#118025](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118025), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan))
