What's new in 1.10.3
This is a patch release that adds support for admission policy resources and new Nodes list columns, respects the default-container annotation, and fixes node and pod metrics, cluster loading, cluster events, pod logs, and kubectl binary handling. ## What's new: ### New Features * Added support for the `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy` and `ValidatingAdmissionPolicyBinding` resources. See #2089, #1688 ### Bug Fixes * Clusters no longer get stuck on the loading screen when the CRD store subscription fires before the cluster proxy is ready. See #2093, #1617 * Node CPU usage in the Nodes list view is now formatted in cores instead of being rendered as `0.0Ki`. See #2084, #1883 * The "Show previous terminated container" log option is no longer persisted as a global default, so new pod log tabs no longer start with it enabled. See #2096, #2095 * The bundled kubectl binary is no longer removed when its self-check hits a transient `EBUSY` error (e.g. when the file is briefly locked on Windows). See #2063 * The default kubectl download mirror is now used as a fallback when the custom mirror preference is left empty. See #2064 * Prometheus metrics queries no longer fail when `kube_pod_info` exposes duplicate series that differ only by a flapping `pod_ip` / `host_ip` label. See #2086 ### Improvements * The Kubernetes API proxy now supports SOCKS5 proxies for upgrade requests (used by exec, attach, and port-forward), so these features work behind a SOCKS5 proxy. See #2092 * Freelens now respects the `kubectl.kubernetes.io/default-container` annotation: the Attach, Pod Shell, and Pod Logs ac...
