- Kubeadm: apply further improvements to the tentative support for concurrent etcd member join. Fixes a bug where multiple members can receive the same hostname. Increase the etcd client dial timeout and retry timeout for add/remove/... operations. ([#87505](https://github.com/kub...

- Performance improvements in `klog` ([#115277](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115277), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

It has been more than two years since the Linux kernel cgroups v2 API was declared stable. With some distributions now defaulting to this API, Kubernetes must support it to continue operating on those distributions. cgroups v2 offers several improvements over cgroups v1, for more information see the [cgroups v2](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/architecture/cgroups/) documentation. While cgroups v1 will continue to be supported, this enhancement puts Kubernetes to be ready for eventual deprecation...

		* Fixed the output of kubectl taint node command with minor improvements. ([#43171](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/43171), [@ravisantoshgudimetla](https://github.com/ravisantoshgudimetla))


### **Networking**
#### Network Policy

In Kubernetes 1.19 this feature will be enabled by default with kube-proxy reading from EndpointSlices instead of Endpoints. Although this will mostly be an invisible change, it should result in noticeable scalability improvements in large clusters. It will also enable significant new features in future Kubernetes releases like Topology Aware Routing.
