- Adopted a new implementation of watch caches for **list** verbs, using a btree data structure. The new implementation is active by default; you can opt out by disabling the `BtreeWatchCache` feature gate. ([#128415](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128415), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Cloud Provider]

- Kubelet pod resources API now provides the information about active pods only. ([#79409](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79409), [@takmatsu](https://github.com/takmatsu)) [SIG Node]

- DeleteOptions parameters for deletecollection endpoints are now published in the OpenAPI spec. ([#77843](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77843), [@roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw))
- 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))

* add goroutine to move unschedulable pods to activeq if they are not retried for more than 1 minute ([#72558](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72558), [@denkensk](https://github.com/denkensk))

- Added `SchedulerPopFromBackoffQ` feature gate that is in beta and enabled by default. Improved scheduling queue behavior by popping pods from the backoffQ when the activeQ is empty. This allows to process potentially schedulable pods ASAP, eliminating a penalty effect of the backoff queue.

 - 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...

*   Fixed a performance issue ([#51899](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51899)) identified in large-scale clusters when deleting thousands of pods simultaneously across hundreds of nodes, by actively removing containers of deleted pods, rather than waiting for periodic garbage collection and batching resulting pod API deletion requests. ([#53233](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53233),[ @dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole))

- Run etcd as non-root on GCE provider ([#100635](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100635), [@cindy52](https://github.com/cindy52))
- Scheduler nows provides an option for plugin developers to move `Pods` to activeQ. ([#103383](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103383), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))

    *   Add tf_api_version flag. If --define=tf_api_version=2 flag is passed in,
        then bazel will build TensorFlow API version 2.0. Note that TensorFlow
        2.0 is under active development and has no guarantees at this point.
    *   Add additional compression options to TfRecordWriter.
    *   Performance improvements for regex full match operations.
