## Deprecations

- kube-apiserver
  - The `--service-account-api-audiences` flag is deprecated in favor of `--api-audiences`. The old flag is accepted with a warning but will be removed in a future release. ([#70105](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70105), [@mikedanese](https://github.com/mikedanese))

- Added audienceMatchPolicy field to AuthenticationConfiguration and support for configuring multiple audiences.
  The "audienceMatchPolicy" can be empty (or unset) when a single audience is specified in the "audiences" field.
  The "audienceMatchPolicy" must be set to "MatchAny" when multiple audiences are specified in the "audiences" field. ([#123165](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123165), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase))

## Changes by Kind

### Deprecation

- API server's deprecated `--service-account-api-audiences` flag was removed.  Use `--api-audiences` instead. ([#108624](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108624), [@ialidzhikov](https://github.com/ialidzhikov))

- Only extend token lifetimes when `--service-account-extend-token-expiration` is true and the requested token audiences are empty or exactly match all values for `--api-audiences`. ([#105954](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105954), [@jyotimahapatra](https://github.com/jyotimahapatra))

- 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.
