## Changelog since v1.7.10

### Other notable changes

* Bugfix: master startup script on GCP no longer fails randomly due to concurrent iptables invocations. ([#55945](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55945), [@x13n](https://github.com/x13n))

            throw new RuntimeException("Samba container is not running");
        }

        Exception lastException = null;
        // Increased timeout to 90 seconds to allow for container startup and Samba initialization
        for (int attempt = 0; attempt < 90; attempt++) {
            try {
                SmbFile testFile = new SmbFile(baseUrl + "shared/", context);

# the pip package on Windows without an intermediate data-file archive, as the
# build_pip_package script in its current form (as of Aug 2023) uses the
# runfiles symlink tree to decide what to put into the Python wheel.
startup --windows_enable_symlinks

* The following deprecated flags were removed from `kubelet`:

  * `api-servers` - add apiserver addresses to the kubeconfig file instead.

  Don't use these flags. Using deprecated flags causes the kubelet to print a warning. Using a removed flag causes the kubelet to abort the startup.

*   Masquerading rules are now added by default to GCE/GKE ([#55178](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55178),[ @dnardo](https://github.com/dnardo))
*   Fixed master startup issues with concurrent iptables invocations. ([#55945](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55945),[ @x13n](https://github.com/x13n))

- Fixed garbage collection of dangling VolumeAttachments for PersistentVolumes migrated to CSI on startup of kube-controller-manager. ([#102176](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102176), [@timebertt](https://github.com/timebertt)) [SIG Apps and Storage]

     * Dynamic Configuration (ConfigMap API in the core API group) enables application
configuration to be stored as a Kubernetes API object and pulled dynamically on
container startup, as an alternative to baking in command-line flags when a
container is built.
     * Turnkey Deployments (Deployment API (Beta) in the Extensions API group)
automate deployment and rolling updates of applications, specified

	var newPools []PoolStatus
	for _, pool := range p.Pools {
		if pool.Decommission == nil {
			continue
		}
		if pool.Decommission.Complete || pool.Decommission.Canceled {
			// Do not resume decommission upon startup for
			// - decommission complete
			// - decommission canceled
			continue
		} // In all other situations we need to resume
		newPools = append(newPools, pool)
	}
	return newPools
}

* iSCSI sessions managed by kubernetes will now explicitly set startup.mode to 'manual' to  prevent automatic login after node failure recovery. This is the default open-iscsi mode, so this change will only impact users who have changed their startup.mode to be 'automatic' in /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf. ([#57475](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57475), [@stmcginnis](https://github.com/stmcginnis))...

- Fixed a race condition on API server startup ensuring previously created webhook configurations are effective before the first write request is admitted. ([#95783](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95783), [@roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw)) [SIG API Machinery]
