- kube-proxy: os exit when CleanupAndExit is set to true ([#76732](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/76732), [@JieJhih](https://github.com/JieJhih))
- Kubernetes will now allow trailing dots in the externalName of Services of type ExternalName. ([#78385](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78385), [@thz](https://github.com/thz))

- Allow for Pod search domains to be a single dot `.` or contain an underscore `_` ([#127167](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127167), [@adrianmoisey](https://github.com/adrianmoisey)) [SIG Apps, Network and Testing]

enabled.([#51436](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51436))

* [Action required] The validation rule for metadata.initializers.pending[x].name is tightened. The initializer name must contain at least three segments, separated by dots. You can create objects with pending initializers and not rely on the API server to add pending initializers according to `initializerConfiguration`. If you do so, update the initializer name in the existing objects and the configuration files to comply...

- Promoted `RelaxedDNSSearchValidation` to beta, allowing for Pod search domains to be a single dot "." or contain an underscore "_". ([#130128](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130128), [@adrianmoisey](https://github.com/adrianmoisey)) [SIG Apps and Network]

- Graduated relaxed DNS search string validation to GA. For the Pod API, `.spec.dnsConfig.searches`
  now allows an underscore (`_`) where a dash (`-`) would be allowed, and it allows search strings be a single dot `.`. ([#132036](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132036), [@adrianmoisey](https://github.com/adrianmoisey)) [SIG Network and Testing]

- Since golang 1.17 both net.ParseIP and net.ParseCIDR rejects leading zeros in the dot-decimal notation of IPv4 addresses,
  Kubernetes will keep allowing leading zeros on IPv4 address to not break the compatibility.

- Generating informers for packages in directories containing dots in their name is broken. This will be fixed in v1.16.1. ([#82860](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/82860))

*   The NodeDef protocol message is now defined in its own file `node_def.proto`
    `instead of graph.proto`.
*   `ops.NoGradient` was renamed `ops.NotDifferentiable`. `ops.NoGradient` will
    be removed soon.
*   `dot.h` / DotGraph was removed (it was an early analysis tool prior to
    TensorBoard, no longer that useful). It remains in history should someone
    find the code useful.
