* The protobuf serialization of API objects has been updated to store maps in a predictable order to ensure that the representation of that object does not change when saved into etcd. This prevents the same object from being seen as being modified, even when no values have changed. ([#47701](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47701), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

- Fixes an issue in winkernel proxier that causes proxy rules to leak anytime service backends are modified. ([#112840](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112840), [@daschott](https://github.com/daschott)) [SIG Network and Windows]

### Other notable changes

* Bump GLBC version to 0.9.5 - fixes [loss of manually modified GCLB health check settings](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/47559) upon upgrade from pre-1.6.4 to either 1.6.4 or 1.6.5. ([#47567](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47567), [@nicksardo](https://github.com/nicksardo))

- Modified command line errors (for example, `kubectl list` -> `unknown command`) that were printed as log message with escaped line breaks instead of a multi-line plain text, making the error hard to read.
