## Major Themes

Kubernetes is developed by community members whose work is organized into
[Special Interest Groups][]. For the 1.8 release, each SIG provides the
themes that guided their work.

- Kubeadm: add the flag "--experimental-initial-corrupt-check" to etcd static Pod manifests to ensure etcd member data consistency ([#109076](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109076), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

## Dependencies

### Added
_Nothing has changed._

- If `kubeadm reset` finds no etcd member ID for the peer it removes during the `remove-etcd-member` phase, it continues immediately to other phases, instead of retrying the phase for up to 3 minutes before continuing. ([#118192](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118192), [@dlipovetsky](https://github.com/dlipovetsky))...

* Add automatic etcd 3.2->3.1 and 3.1->3.0 minor version rollback support to gcr.io/google_container/etcd images. For HA clusters, all members must be stopped before performing a rollback. ([#59298](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59298), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz))

- Kubeadm: fixed issue where etcd member promotion fails with an error saying the member was already promoted ([#132280](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132280), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

* Add automatic etcd 3.2->3.1 and 3.1->3.0 minor version rollback support to gcr.io/google_container/etcd images. For HA clusters, all members must be stopped before performing a rollback. ([#59298](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59298), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz))

*   `tf.SavedModel`

    *   Introduced class method `tf.saved_model.experimental.Fingerprint.from_proto(proto)`, which can be used to construct a `Fingerprint` object directly from a protobuf.
    *   Introduced member method `tf.saved_model.experimental.Fingerprint.singleprint()`, which provides a convenient way to uniquely identify a SavedModel.

### Bug Fixes and Other Changes

*   `tf.Variable`
