- Kubeadm respects resolvConf value set by user even if systemd-resolved service is active. kubeadm no longer sets the flag in '--resolv-conf' in /var/lib/kubelet/kubeadm-flags.env. If you have this flag in /var/lib/kubelet/kubeadm-flags.env or /etc/default/kubelet (/etc/sysconfig/kubelet for RPMs) please remove it and set the value using...

  - Add support for journald.
  - The ability to monitor any system daemon logs. Previously only kernel
    logs were supported.
  - The ability to be deployed and run as a native daemon.
* **[alpha]** Critical Pods: When feature gate "ExperimentalCriticalPodAnnotation" is
  set to true, the system will guarantee scheduling and admission of pods with

consistency and security, Kubernetes performs pruning, or the automatic removal of unknown fields in objects sent to a Kubernetes API. An "unknown" field is one that is not specified in the OpenAPI validation schema. This behavior is already in place for native resources and ensures only data structures specified by the CRD developer are persisted to etcd. It will be available as a beta feature in Kubernetes 1.15.

Pruning is activated by setting `spec.preserveUnknownFields: false` in the Cu...

    * [StorageOS](http://www.storageos.com) can be used as a storage provider for Kubernetes.  With StorageOS, capacity from local or attached storage is pooled across the cluster, providing converged infrastructure for cloud-native applications.
* CRI has been moved to package `pkg/kubelet/apis/cri/v1alpha1/runtime`. ([#47113](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47113), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

* kubelet: fix fail to close kubelet->API connections on heartbeat failure when bootstrapping or client certificate rotation is disabled ([#78016](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78016), [@gaorong](https://github.com/gaorong))
* Active watches of custom resources now terminate properly if the CRD is modified. ([#78029](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78029), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Fix: statle smb mount issue when smb file share is deleted and then unmount ([#121851](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121851), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Storage]
- The scheduling queue didn't notice any extenders' failures, it could miss some cluster events,
  and it could end up Pods rejected by Extenders stuck in unschedulable pod pool in 5min in the worst-case scenario.

- Fixed a `v1.28` regression handling negative index json patches. ([#120327](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120327), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
