## Changelog since v1.13.4

### Other notable changes

* Restores --username and --password flags to kubectl ([#75451](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75451), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* Applies zone labels to vSphere Volumes and honors allowedTopologies when provisioning. ([#74654](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74654), [@subramanian-neelakantan](https://github.com/subramanian-neelakantan))

  These sorts of values can potentially cause security problems when different
  components interpret the same string as referring to different IP addresses
  (as in CVE-2021-29923).
  
  This tightening applies only to fields in built-in API kinds, and not to
  custom resource kinds, values in Kubernetes configuration files, or
  command-line arguments.
  
  (When the feature gate is disabled, creating an object with such an invalid

  - The label applied to control-plane nodes "node-role.kubernetes.io/master" is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release after a GA deprecation period.
  - Introduce a new label "node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane" that will be applied in parallel to "node-role.kubernetes.io/master" until the removal of the "node-role.kubernetes.io/master" label.

(N-3). This aligns with the recent change made by SIG Architecture that extends the support skew between the control plane and kubelets. Tolerate this new kubelet skew for the commands `init`, `join` and `upgrade`. Note that if the `kubeadm` user applies a control plane version that is older than the `kubeadm` version (N-1 maximum) then the skew between the kubelet and control plane would become a maximum of N-2.

### SIG Windows

- Kubelet no longer attempts to sync iptables on non-Linux systems.. ([#67690](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67690), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))
- Kubelet no longer applies default hard evictions of nodefs.inodesFree on non-Linux systems. ([#67709](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67709), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

### kubectl

#### New Commands
- `apply set-last-applied` *updates the applied-applied-configuration annotation* ([#41694](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41694), [@shiywang](https://github.com/shiywang))
- `kubectl apply view-last-applied` *viewing the last configuration file applied* ([#41146](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41146), [@shiywang](https://github.com/shiywang))

- Added a kube-proxy flag (`--iptables-localhost-nodeports`, default true) to allow disabling NodePort services on loopback addresses. Note: this only applies to iptables mode and ipv4. ([#108250](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108250), [@cyclinder](https://github.com/cyclinder))

kubelet flags are no longer being set, and are being replaced by the more portable mechanism of the kubelet configuration file. The individual variables in the kube-env metadata entry were never meant to be a stable interface and this release note only applies if you are depending on them. ([#60020](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60020), [@roberthbailey](https://github.com/roberthbailey))

* kube-proxy: feature gates are now specified as a map when provided via a JSON or YAML...

* This change applies zone labels to vSphere Volumes automatically. The zone labels are visible on the PV: ([#72687](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72687), [@subramanian-neelakantan](https://github.com/subramanian-neelakantan))

- Client-go: make generated CA certificates valid 1 hour in the past (NewSelfSignedCACert). Applies to CA certificates and other certificates generated by kubeadm. ([#118631](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118631), [@champtar](https://github.com/champtar)) [SIG Auth]
