* Using kubectl gcp auth plugin with a Google Service Account to authenticate to a cluster now additionally requests a token with the  "userinfo.email" scope. This way, users can write ClusterRoleBindings/RoleBindings with the email address of the service account directly. (This is a breaking change if the numeric uniqueIDs of the Google service accounts were being used in RBAC role bindings. The behavior can be overridden by explicitly specifying the...

### Windows

Support for Windows nodes and Windows containers went going stable.

Support for Group Managed Service Accounts (GMSA) for Windows containers in Kubernetes. GMSA are a specific type of Active Directory account that provides automatic password management, simplified service principal name (SPN) management, and the ability to delegate the management to other administrators across multiple servers.

* An `automountServiceAccountToken` field was added to ServiceAccount and PodSpec objects. If set to `false` on a pod spec, no service account token is automounted in the pod. If set to `false` on a service account, no service account token is automounted for that service account unless explicitly overridden in the pod spec.

* `--service-account-lookup` now defaults to true, requiring the Secret API object containing the token to exist in order for a service account token to be valid. This enables service account tokens to be revoked by deleting the Secret object containing the token.

- Authentication token cache size is increased (from 4k to 32k) to support clusters with many nodes or many namespaces with active service accounts. ([#83643](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83643), [@lavalamp](https://github.com/lavalamp))

### SIG Auth

- TokenRequest and TokenRequestProjection are now beta features. To enable these feature, the API server needs to be started with the `--service-account-issuer`, `--service-account-signing-key-file`, and `--service-account-api-audiences` flags.
