- Kubeadm: only taint control plane nodes when the legacy "master" taint is present. This avoids the bug where "kubeadm upgrade" will re-taint a control plane  node with the new "control plane" taint even if the user explicitly untainted the node. ([#109840](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109840), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

are hence enabled by default. This will be fixed in a future release.
[#38593](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/38593)
* Federation control plane can be upgraded by updating the image
fields in the `Deployment` specs of the control plane components.
However, federation control plane upgrades were not tested in this
release [38537](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/38537)

## Notable Changes to Existing Behavior

- Restores priority of static control plane pods in the cluster/gce/manifests control-plane manifests ([#89970](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89970), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle and Node]


# v1.18.1

* kubeadm: Remove hard-coded default version when fetching stable version from the web fails. Fixes [kubeadm 1.6.1 deploying 1.6.0 control plane](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubeadm/issues/224). ([#43999](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/43999), [@mikedanese](https://github.com/mikedanese))

It could be used to tell kubeadm to wait for all control plane components to be ready when running "kubeadm init" or "kubeadm join --control-plane". Previously, kubeadm only waited for the kube-apiserver. The "kubeadm join" workflow now includes a new experimental phase called "wait-control-plane". This phase was marked as non-experimental when WaitForAllControlPlaneComponents became GA. Accordingly, a "kubeadm init" phase "wait-control-plane" was also available once WaitForAllControlPlaneComponents...

* Action required: If you have a running federation control plane, you will have to ensure that for all federation resources, the corresponding namespace exists in federation control plane.
