* If you are not switching kube-proxy between different modes, this change should not require any action.

- kube-proxy no longer automatically cleans up network rules created by running kube-proxy in other modes. If you are switching the kube-proxy mode (EG: iptables to IPVS), you will need to run `kube-proxy --cleanup`, or restart the worker node (recommended) before restarting kube-proxy. If you are not switching kube-proxy between different modes, this change should not require any action.

Storage also worked on a number of [Container Storage Interface (CSI) features](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/178) this quarter in anticipation of moving support for CSI from beta to GA in the next Kubernetes release. This includes graduating the dependent “mount namespace propagation” feature to GA, moving the Kubelet plugin registration mechanism to beta, adding alpha support for a new CSI driver registry as well as for topology, and adding a number of alpha features to support the...

cluster security policies.

For the 1.8 release, SIG Auth focused on stablizing existing features that were introduced
in previous releases. RBAC was moved from beta to v1, and advanced auditing was moved from alpha
to beta. Encryption of resources stored on disk (resources at rest) remained in alpha, and the SIG began exploring integrations with external key management systems.

* Node affinity has moved from annotations to api fields in the pod spec.  Node affinity that is defined in the annotations will be ignored. ([#37299](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/37299), [@rrati](https://github.com/rrati))

    * Composite bodies' IDs are now based on path, not only on route name, as the auto-generated name uses the function names, that can be duplicated in different modules.
    * The same new ID generation applies to response models.
    * This also changes the generated title for those models.

- Kubernetes v1.13 moves support for Container Storage Interface to GA. As part of this move Kubernetes now supports CSI v1.0.0 and deprecates support for CSI 0.3 and older releases. Older CSI drivers must be updated to CSI 1.0 and moved to the new kubelet plugin registration directory in order to work with Kubernetes 1.15+.

* Fix init container status reporting when active deadline is exceeded. ([#46305](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46305), [@sjenning](https://github.com/sjenning))
