## **Notable Features**

Features for this release were tracked via the use of the [kubernetes/features](https://github.com/kubernetes/features) issues repo. Each Feature issue is owned by a Special Interest Group from [kubernetes/community](https://github.com/kubernetes/community)

## Kubefed

- 'Graduated `JobTrackingWithFinalizers` to stable.
  Jobs created before the feature was enabled are still tracked without finalizers.
  Jobs tracked with finalizers have the annotation batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking.
  If the annotation is present and the user attempts to remove it, the control plane adds it back.

  - Increased pod-level security granularity (eg: Container Image Policies, AppArmor and `sysctl` support)
  - Increased cluster-level security granularity (eg: Access Review API)

Other then that, this release contains no other changes from 1.5.4.

The vulnerability is tracked in http://issue.k8s.io/43459.

**Who is affected?**

Only Kubernetes 1.5.0-1.5.4 installations that do all of the following:
* Enable the PodSecurityPolicy API (which is not enabled by default):

- When feature gate `JobTrackingWithFinalizers` is enabled:
  - Limit the number of Pods tracked in a single Job sync to avoid starvation of small Jobs.
  - The metric `job_pod_finished_total` counts the number of finished Pods tracked by the Job controller. ([#105197](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105197), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor))
