- GCE Internal LoadBalancer sync loop will now release the ILB IP address upon sync failure. An error in ILB forwarding rule creation will no longer leak IP addresses.

* Kubectl
  * Display line number on JSON errors
  * Add flag -t as shorthand for --tty
* Resources
  * Improved node stability by *optionally* evicting pods upon memory pressure - [Design Doc](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/release-1.3/docs/proposals/kubelet-eviction.md)
