- Promoted the `EnvFiles` feature gate to beta and is enabled by default. Additionally, the syntax specification for environment variables has been restricted to a subset of POSIX shell syntax (all variable values must be wrapped in single quotes). ([#134414](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134414), [@HirazawaUi](https://github.com/HirazawaUi)) [SIG Node and Testing]

- Added support for a new kubectl output format, `kyaml`. KYAML was a strict subset of YAML and should be accepted by any YAML processor. The formatting of KYAML was halfway between JSON and YAML.  Because it was more explicit than the default YAML style, it was less error-prone. ([#132942](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132942),...

	Only one type is an interface (but not a type parameter),
