CustomResourceDefinitions also have new support for defaulting, with defaults specified using the `default` keyword in the OpenAPI validation schema. Defaults are set for unspecified fields in an object sent to the API, and when reading from etcd.

Defaulting will be available as alpha in Kubernetes 1.15 and requires structural schemas.

* Fixed a bug in the apiserver storage that could cause just-added finalizers to be ignored on an immediately following delete request, leading to premature deletion. ([#77619](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77619), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))

* Get public IP for Azure vmss nodes. ([#68498](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68498), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

- Pod Log stats for windows now reports metrics ([#99221](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99221), [@jsturtevant](https://github.com/jsturtevant)) [SIG Node, Storage, Testing and Windows]
- Pod status updates faster when reacting on probe results. The first readiness probe will be called faster when startup probes succeeded, which will make Pod status as ready faster. ([#98376](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98376), [@matthyx](https://github.com/matthyx))

* kubeadm upgrade no longer races leading to unexpected upgrade behavior on pod restarts ([#62655](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62655), [@stealthybox](https://github.com/stealthybox))

- Fixed file permission issues that happened during update of Secret/ConfigMap/projected volume when fsGroup is used. The problem caused a race condition where application gets intermittent permission denied error when reading files that were just updated, before the correct permissions were applied.
