- GRPC probes now set a linger option of 1s to improve the TIME-WAIT state. ([#115321](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115321), [@rphillips](https://github.com/rphillips)) [SIG Network and Node]

backoff delay accrued between container restarts for a node for containers in `CrashLoopBackOff`. To set this for a node, turn on the feature gate `KubeletCrashLoopBackoffMax` and set the `CrashLoopBackOff.MaxContainerRestartPeriod ` field between `"1s"` and `"300s"` in your [kubelet config file](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/kubelet-config-file/).

- Fixed bug in `TopologyManager` for ensuring aligned allocations on machines...

Four * 100   // product 400 cannot be represented as an int8 (type of Four)
</pre>

<p>
The mask used by the unary bitwise complement operator <code>^</code> matches
the rule for non-constants: the mask is all 1s for unsigned constants
and -1 for signed and untyped constants.
</p>

<pre>
^1         // untyped integer constant, equal to -2
uint8(^1)  // illegal: same as uint8(-2), -2 cannot be represented as a uint8

- `v1beta1` Scheduler `Extender` encoding is case-sensitive (`v1alpha1`/`v1alpha2` was case-insensitive), its `httpTimeout` field uses duration encoding (for example, one second is specified as `"1s"`), and the `enableHttps` field in `v1alpha1`/`v1alpha2` was renamed to `enableHTTPS`.
