services. Follow the MinIO Client [Quickstart Guide](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/minio-mc.html#quickstart) for further instructions. ## Upgrading MinIO Upgrades require zero downtime in MinIO, all upgrades are non-disruptive, all transactions on MinIO are atomic. So upgrading all the servers simultaneously is the recommended way to upgrade MinIO. > NOTE: requires internet access to update directly from <https://dl.min.io>, optionally you can host any mirrors at <https://my-artifact...

*   Pods will no longer briefly transition to a "Pending" state during the deletion process. ([#54593](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54593),[ @dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole))

    * Introduce a RuntimeClass v1beta1 API. This new beta API renames `runtimeHandler` to `handler`, makes it a required field, and cuts out the spec (handler is a top-level field).
* Transition CSINodeInfo and CSIDriver alpha CRDs to in-tree CSINode and CSIDriver core storage v1beta1 APIs. ([#74283](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74283), [@xing-yang](https://github.com/xing-yang))

- Fixed a bug where the Gated pods metric was not updated when a Pod transitioned from Unschedulable to Gated during an update. ([#135368](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/135368), [@vshkrabkov](https://github.com/vshkrabkov)) [SIG Scheduling]

#### Node controller
* Bug fixes:

  * Fix [transition between NotReady and Unreachable taints](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/43444). ([#44042](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44042), [@gmarek](https://github.com/gmarek))


#### Node Components

* Remove deprecated flags: --low-diskspace-threshold-mb and --outofdisk-transition-frequency, which are replaced by --eviction-hard ([#48846](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48846), [@dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole))

  The `flowcontrol.apiserver.k8s.io/v1beta3` APIs are deprecated and will no longer be served in v1.32. All existing objects are available via the `v1` APIs. Transition clients and manifests to use the `v1` APIs before upgrading to `v1.32`. ([#121089](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121089), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem))

### Avoiding permanent beta

From Kubernetes 1.20 onwards, SIG Architecture will implement a new policy to transition all REST APIs out of beta within nine months. The idea behind the new policy is to avoid features staying in beta for a long time. Once a new API enters beta, it will have nine months to either:

- Flipped `StorageNamespaceIndex` feature gate to `false` and deprecated it. ([#129933](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129933), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius))
- Implemented logging for failed transactions and the full table in `kube-proxy` with 
`nftables` when using log level 4 or higher. Logging is rate-limited to one entry every 24 hours 

* The Kubelet's deprecated `--allow-privileged` flag now defaults to true. This enables users to stop setting `--allow-privileged` in order to transition to `PodSecurityPolicy`. Previously, users had to continue setting `--allow-privileged`, because the default was false. ([#63442](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63442), [@mtaufen](https://github.com/mtaufen))
