- Upon receiving a LIST request with an expired continue token, the apiserver now returns a continue token together with the 410 "the from parameter is too old" error. If the client does not care about getting a list from a consistent snapshot, the client can use this token to continue listing from the next key, but the returned chunk will be from the latest snapshot.

   * Coerces an IPv6 address into an IPv4 address.

   * <p>HACK: As long as applications continue to use IPv4 addresses for indexing into tables,
   * accounting, et cetera, it may be necessary to <b>coerce</b> IPv6 addresses into IPv4 addresses.

- the ability to rollback to etcd2 can be preserved by setting the storage media type flag on `kube-apiserver`

  ```
  --storage-media-type application/json
  ```

  to continue to use `application/json` as the storage media type which can be changed to
  `application/vnd.kubernetes.protobuf` at a later time.

## Major updates and release themes

cache sync failure. This fix allows the garbage collector to eventually continue garbage collecting other resources if a given resource cannot be listed or watched. Any objects in the unsynced resource type with owner references with `blockOwnerDeletion: true` will not be known to the garbage collector. Use of `blockOwnerDeletion` has always been best-effort and racy on startup and object creation. With this fix, it continues to be best-effort for resources that cannot be synced by the garbage collector...
