* Improved user experience for environments without a public internet connection and users using other CRI runtimes than Docker
* Support for structured configuration for the kubelet, which avoids the need to modify the systemd drop-in file
* Many improvements to the upgrade process and other bug fixes

## Before Upgrading

Consider the following changes, limitations, and guidelines before you upgrade:

* The kubelet now fails if swap is enabled on a node. To override the default and run with /proc/swaps on, set `--fail-swap-on=false`. The experimental flag `--experimental-fail-swap-on` is deprecated in this release, and will be removed in a future release.

* Kubernetes version command line parameter in kubeadm has been updated to drop an unnecessary redirection from ci/latest.txt to ci-cross/latest.txt. Users should know exactly where the builds are stored on Google Cloud storage buckets from now on. For example for 1.9 and 1.10, users can specify ci/latest-1.9 and ci/latest-1.10...

- Deprecate kubectl top flags related to heapster
  Drop support of heapster in kubectl top ([#87498](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87498), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius)) [SIG CLI]
- Deprecate the `--target-ram-md` flags that is no longer used for anything. ([#91818](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/91818), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery]

- ProcMount has been added to SecurityContext and AllowedProcMounts has been added to PodSecurityPolicy to allow paths in the container's /proc to not be masked.

- Ensure the `KUBE-MARK-DROP` chain in kube-proxy IPVS mode. The chain is ensured for both IPv4 and IPv6 in dual-stack operation. ([#82214](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82214), [@uablrek](https://github.com/uablrek))

* Fix bug where EndpointSlice controller would attempt to modify shared objects. ([#85368](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85368), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott))
* Revert ensure the KUBE-MARK-DROP chain in kube-proxy mode=iptables. Fix a bug in which kube-proxy deletes the rules associated with the chain in iptables mode. ([#85527](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85527), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))
