* kubelet now accepts a --cni-cache-dir option, which defaults to /var/lib/cni/cache, where CNI stores cache files. ([#78908](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78908), [@dcbw](https://github.com/dcbw))

* kubelet's `--cni-bin-dir` option now accepts multiple comma-separated CNI binary directory paths, which are searched for CNI plugins in the given order. ([#58714](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58714), [@dcbw](https://github.com/dcbw))

- When a CNI plugin returns dual-stack pod IPs, kubelet will now try to respect the
  "primary IP family" of the cluster by picking a primary pod IP of the same family
  as the (primary) node IP, rather than assuming that the CNI plugin returned the IPs
  in the order the administrator wanted (since some CNI plugins don't allow

* [IPVS] Introduces flag ipvs-strict-arp to configure stricter ARP sysctls, defaulting to false to preserve existing behaviors. This was enabled by default in 1.13.0, which impacted a few CNI plugins. ([#75295](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75295), [@lbernail](https://github.com/lbernail))
