- Fixed a bug that init containers with `Always` restartPolicy may not terminate gracefully if the pod hasn't initialized yet. ([#126332](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126332), [@gjkim42](https://github.com/gjkim42)) [SIG Node and Testing]

* Initialize French translations. PR [#1975](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/1975) by [@JulianMaurin-BM](https://github.com/JulianMaurin-BM).
* Initialize Turkish translations. PR [#1905](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/1905) by [@ycd](https://github.com/ycd).

### Internal

- Fixed bug where a nonzero exit code was returned when initializing zsh completion even though zsh completion was successfully initialized ([#88165](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88165), [@brianpursley](https://github.com/brianpursley)) [SIG CLI]

### Federation
* The --dns-provider argument of 'kubefed init' is now mandatory and does not default to `google-clouddns`. To initialize a Federation control plane with Google Cloud DNS, use the following invocation: 'kubefed init --dns-provider=google-clouddns' ([#42092](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/42092), [@marun](https://github.com/marun))

- Fixed incorrect watch events when a watch is initialized simultanously with a reinitializing watchcache. ([#116436](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116436), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

  - The alpha `metadata.initializers` field, deprecated in 1.13, has been removed. ([#79504](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79504), [@yue9944882](https://github.com/yue9944882))

- Fixed a bug that init containers with `Always` restartPolicy may not terminate gracefully if the pod hasn't initialized yet. ([#125935](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125935), [@gjkim42](https://github.com/gjkim42)) [SIG Node and Testing]
- Fixed a bug where `kubectl describe` incorrectly displayed NetworkPolicy port ranges

- For scheduler plugin developers: the scheduler framework's shared PodInformer is now initialized with empty indexers. This enables scheduler plugins to add their extra indexers. Note that only non-conflict indexers are allowed to be added. ([#110663](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110663), [@fromanirh](https://github.com/fromanirh))...

## Changelog since v1.17.0-beta.2

### Other notable changes

* kubeadm: fix a panic in case the KubeProxyConfiguration feature gates were not initialized. ([#85524](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85524), [@Arvinderpal](https://github.com/Arvinderpal))

- E2e: tests can now register callbacks with `ginkgo.BeforeEach`, `ginkgo.AfterEach` or `ginkgo.DeferCleanup` directly after creating a framework instance and are guaranteed that their code is called after the framework is initialized and before it gets cleaned up. `ginkgo.DeferCleanup` replaces `f.AddAfterEach` and `AddCleanupAction` which got removed to simplify the framework.
