#### **Kubectl**

*   `kubectl cp` can now copy a remote file into a local directory. ([#46762](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46762),[ @bruceauyeung](https://github.com/bruceauyeung))
*   `kubectl cp` now honors destination names for directories. A complete directory is now copied; in previous versions only the file contents were copied. ([#51215](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51215),[ @juanvallejo](https://github.com/juanvallejo))

* kubectl cp now safely allows unpacking of symlinks that may point outside the destination directory ([#82384](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82384), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair))

- Kube-proxy, when using a Service with External or LoadBalancer IPs on UDP services , was consuming a large amount of CPU because it was not filtering by the Service destination port and trying to delete all the UDP entries associated to the service. ([#130505](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130505), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Network]

- Added the latest GCE pinhole firewall feature, which introduces `destination-ranges` in the ingress `firewall-rules`. It restricts access to the backend IPs by allowing traffic through `ILB` or `NetLB` only. This change does **NOT** change the existing `ILB` or `NetLB` behavior.

<li>
When converting an integer or floating-point number to a floating-point type,
or a <a href="#Numeric_types">complex number</a> to another complex type, the result value is rounded
to the precision specified by the destination type.
For instance, the value of a variable <code>x</code> of type <code>float32</code>
may be stored using additional precision beyond that of an IEEE 754 32-bit number,

- Fixed a 1.32 regression kube-proxy, when using a Service with External or LoadBalancer IPs on UDP services , was consuming a large amount of CPU because it was not filtering by the Service destination port and trying to delete all the UDP entries associated to the service.

### API Change

For the 1.8 release, SIG Network enhanced the NetworkPolicy API to support pod egress traffic policies.
The SIG also provided match criteria that allow policy rules to match a source or destination CIDR. Both features are in beta. SIG Network also improved the kube-proxy to include an alpha IPVS mode in addition to the current iptables and userspace modes.
