* When deleting an object with `--grace-period=0`, the client will begin a graceful deletion and wait until the resource is fully deleted.  To force deletion, use the `--force` flag.

### Node Components

    *  - Created new GCE_SSH_KEY allowing specification of SSH keys for gce, gke, and kubemark.
    *  - AWS_SSH_KEY, previously assumed to be an absolute path can now be either relative or absolute
    *  - LOCAL_SSH_KEY (for local and vsphere providers) was previously assumed to be a filename relative to ~/.ssh but can now also be an absolute path

The built-in function <code>delete</code> removes the element with key

- AdmissionReview objects sent for the creation of Namespace API objects now populate the `namespace` attribute consistently (previously the `namespace` attribute was empty for Namespace creation via POST requests, and populated for Namespace creation via server-side-apply PATCH requests) ([#95012](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95012), [@nodo](https://github.com/nodo)) [SIG API...

*   Relative paths in the Kubelet's local config files (`--init-config-dir`) will now be resolved relative to the location of the containing files. ([#55648](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55648),[ @mtaufen](https://github.com/mtaufen))

- Updates that remove remaining `metadata.finalizers` from  an object that is pending deletion (non-nil metadata.deletionTimestamp) and has no graceful deletion pending (nil or 0 metadata.deletionGracePeriodSeconds) now results in immediate deletion of the object. ([#77952](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77952), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Fix Stackdriver integration based on node annotation container.googleapis.com/instance_id. ([#66676](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66676), [@kawych](https://github.com/kawych))
- GCE: Fixes loadbalancer creation and deletion issues appearing in 1.10.5. ([#66400](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66400), [@nicksardo](https://github.com/nicksardo))

* When using client or server certificate rotation, the Kubelet will no longer wait until the initial rotation succeeds or fails before starting static pods.  This makes running self-hosted masters with rotation more predictable. ([#58930](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58930), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

- The `controller.kubernetes.io/pod-deletion-cost` annotation can be set to offer a hint on the cost of deleting a `Pod` compared to other pods belonging to the same ReplicaSet. Pods with lower deletion cost are deleted first. This is an alpha feature. ([#99163](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99163), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g))

  without risking breaking old clients, such as controllers.

- `kubectl delete` no longer scales down workload API objects before deletion.
  Users who depend on ordered termination for the Pods of their StatefulSets
  must use `kubectl scale` to scale down the StatefulSet before deletion.

- `kubectl run --env` no longer supports CSV parsing. To provide multiple environment
