# v1.9.8

 - The Scheduling Framework exposed `NodeInfos` to the PreFilter plugins. The PreFilter plugins now accepted the `NodeInfo` list from the arguments.

### Deprecation

- Enabled kubectl to find `kubectl-create-subcommand` plugins when positional
  arguments exists, e.g. `kubectl create subcommand arg`. ([#124123](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124123), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

aliasing the second argument and the receiver. v1 = x if out := f(&v1, &x, &v1); out != &v1 || v1 != v { return false } // Test aliasing both arguments and the receiver. v1 = x if out := f(&v1, &v1, &v1); out != &v1 || v1 != v { return false } // Ensure the arguments were not modified. return x == x1 && y == y1 } } // TestAliasing checks that receivers and arguments can alias each other without // leading to incorrect results. That is, it ensures that it's safe to write // // v.Invert(v) // // or // //...

- Kubectl: Previously users cannot provide arguments to a external diff tool via KUBECTL_EXTERNAL_DIFF env. This release now allow users to specify args to KUBECTL_EXTERNAL_DIFF env. ([#95292](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95292), [@dougsland](https://github.com/dougsland)) [SIG CLI]...

  were unnecessarily using `--node-ip` with an external cloud provider in 1.23,
  and then running into problems with 1.24, could not fix the problem by just
  removing the unnecessary `--node-ip` from the kubelet arguments, because
  that wouldn't remove the annotation that caused the problems.) ([#112184](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112184), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Network and Node]

with `Annotated` would **not be affected** at all.

If you call those functions in **other places in your code**, the actual **default values** will be kept, your editor will help you notice missing **required arguments**, Python will require you to pass required arguments at **runtime**, you will be able to **use the same functions** for different things and with different libraries (e.g. **Typer** will soon support `Annotated` too, then you could use the same function for an API and a CLI),...

### Federation
* **[beta]** `kubefed` has graduated to beta: supports hosting federation on on-prem clusters, automatically configures `kube-dns` in joining clusters and allows passing arguments to federation components.
