- ReplicaSets and Deployments should always count `.status.availableReplicas` at the correct time without a delay. This results in faster reconciliation of Deployment conditions and faster, unblocked Deployment rollouts.

- Send bookmark right now after sending all items in watchCache store ([#127012](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127012), [@Chaunceyctx](https://github.com/Chaunceyctx)) [SIG API Machinery]

		// xl.meta has "inlined data" we prefer writing O_DIRECT and then doing

		// This is an optimization mainly to ensure faster I/O.

- Secure master -> node communication ([#11816](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/11816))
- upgrading master doesn't upgrade kubectl ([#32538](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/32538))
- Specific error message on failed rolling update issued by older kubectl against 1.4 master ([#32751](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/32751))

Release notes of older releases can be found in:
- [CHANGELOG-1.2.md](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.2.md)
- [CHANGELOG-1.3.md](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.3.md)

  - `read_vs_write_request_count_watermarks` is removed. ([#110104](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110104), [@MikeSpreitzer](https://github.com/MikeSpreitzer)) [SIG API Machinery, Instrumentation...

- Pod status updates faster when reacting on probe results. The first readiness probe will be called faster when startup probes succeeded, which will make Pod status as ready faster. ([#98376](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98376), [@matthyx](https://github.com/matthyx))

a critical security issue in the Kubernetes API Server, is resolved in v1.13.0 (and in [v1.10.11](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.10.md/#v11011), [v1.11.5](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.11.md/#v1115), and [v1.12.3](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.12.md/#v1123)). We recommend all clusters running previous versions update to one of these releases immediately. See issue...
