  * The `--audit-policy-file` option is required if the `AdvancedAuditing` feature is not explicitly turned off (`--feature-gates=AdvancedAuditing=false`) on the API server.
  * The audit log file defaults to JSON encoding when using the advanced auditing feature gate.
  * An audit policy file without either an `apiVersion` or a `kind` field may be treated as invalid.

* audit.k8s.io api group is upgraded from v1beta1 to v1. ([#65891](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65891), [@CaoShuFeng](https://github.com/CaoShuFeng))
    * Deprecated element metav1.ObjectMeta and Timestamp are removed from audit Events in v1 version.
    * Default value of option --audit-webhook-version and --audit-log-version will be changed from `audit.k8s.io/v1beta1` to `audit.k8s.io/v1` in release 1.13

bernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/v1.13/#tokenreview-v1-authentication-k8s-io) for the new tokens for improved scoping. Under audit logging, the new alpha-level "dynamic audit configuration" adds support for [dynamically registering webhooks to receive a stream of audit events](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/debug/debug-cluster/audit/#webhook-backend). Finally, we've enhanced secrets protection by graduating [etcd encryption](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/encrypt-data/)...

- `audit.k8s.io/v1beta1` and `audit.k8s.io/v1alpha1` audit policy configuration and audit events are deprecated in favor of `audit.k8s.io/v1`, available since v1.13. kube-apiserver invocations that specify alpha or beta policy configurations with `--audit-policy-file`, or explicitly request alpha or beta audit events with `--audit-log-version` / `--audit-webhook-version` must update to use `audit.k8s.io/v1` and accept `audit.k8s.io/v1` events prior...

### API Change

- A new field `omitManagedFields` has been added to both `audit.Policy` and `audit.PolicyRule` 
  so cluster operators can opt in to omit managed fields of the request and response bodies from 

* The kube-apiserver [basic audit log](https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/audit/) can be enabled in GCE by exporting the environment variable `ENABLE_APISERVER_BASIC_AUDIT=true` before running `cluster/kube-up.sh`. This will log to `/var/log/kube-apiserver-audit.log` and use the same `logrotate` settings as `/var/log/kube-apiserver.log`. ([#41211](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41211),...

- Audit events for API requests to deprecated API versions now include a `"k8s.io/deprecated": "true"` audit annotation. If a target removal release is identified, the audit event includes a `"k8s.io/removal-release": "<majorVersion>.<minorVersion>"` audit annotation as well.

#### Audit Logging
* [alpha] Advanced Auditing enhances the Kubernetes API [audit logging](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/debug/debug-cluster/audit/#log-backend) capabilities through a customizable policy, pluggable audit backends, and richer audit data.
