*   A major refactoring of the internals of the Keras Functional API has been
    completed, that should improve the reliability, stability, and performance
    of constructing Functional models.

- kube-proxy metrics are now marked as with the ALPHA stability level. ([#81626](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81626), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan))

## 1. Overview

Persistent handles (also known as durable handles) allow SMB3 connections to survive network disconnections, server reboots, and client reconnections. This feature is critical for enterprise reliability and seamless failover scenarios.

## 2. Protocol Specification Reference

- **MS-SMB2 Section 2.2.13.2.3**: SMB2_CREATE_DURABLE_HANDLE_REQUEST
- **MS-SMB2 Section 2.2.13.2.4**: SMB2_CREATE_DURABLE_HANDLE_REQUEST_V2

tolerate the NoSchedule taint if the taint is added to a Node.  There is an open PR ([#48189](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48189)) to resolve this issue, but as this issue also exists in 1.6, and as we do not wish to risk release stability by merging it directly prior to a release without sufficient testing, we have decided to defer merging the PR until the next point release for each minor version ([#48190](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48190)).

- Following metrics from kubelet are now marked as with the ALPHA stability level:

For the 1.8 release, SIG API Machinery focused on stability and on ecosystem enablement. Features include the ability to break large LIST calls into smaller chunks, improved support for API server customization with either custom API servers or Custom Resource Definitions, and client side event spam filtering.
