## Changelog since v1.7.0

### Other notable changes

* Added new flag to `kubeadm init`: --node-name, that lets you specify the name of the Node object that will be created ([#48594](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48594), [@GheRivero](https://github.com/GheRivero))

  - Some kubeadm commands are now allowed to work in a completely offline mode.
- Certificate handling improvements:
  - Renew certs as part of upgrade.
  - New `kubeadm alpha phase certs renew` command for renewing certificates.
  - Certificates created with kubeadm now have improved uniqueness of Distinguished Name fields.
- HA improvements:

* Adds a new `kubeadm config` command that lets users tell `kubeadm upgrade` what kubeadm configuration to use and lets users view the current state. ([#50980](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50980), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))

- DRA: when the prioritized list feature is used in a request and the resulting number of allocated devices exceeds the number of allowed devices per claim, the scheduler aborts the attempt to allocate devices early. Previously it tried to many different combinations, which can take a long time. ([#130593](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130593), [@mortent](https://github.com/mortent)) [SIG Apps, Node, Scheduling...

* Add tolerations for Stackdriver Logging and Metadata Agents. ([#69737](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69737), [@qingling128](https://github.com/qingling128))

* When performing a GET then PUT, the kube-apiserver must write the canonical representation of the object to etcd if the current value does not match. That allows external agents to migrate content in etcd from one API version to another, across different storage types, or across varying encryption levels. This fixes a bug introduced in 1.5 where we unintentionally stopped writing the newest data. ([#48394](https://github...

- Kubeadm: deprecate the "--csr-only" and "--csr-dir" flags of the "kubeadm init phase certs" subcommands. Please use "kubeadm alpha certs generate-csr" instead. This new command allows you to generate new private keys and certificate signing requests for all the control-plane components, so that the certificates can be signed by an external CA.
