    /** The key of the configuration. e.g. * */
    String API_CORS_ALLOW_ORIGIN = "api.cors.allow.origin";

    /** The key of the configuration. e.g. GET, POST, OPTIONS, DELETE, PUT */
    String API_CORS_ALLOW_METHODS = "api.cors.allow.methods";

### Fixes

* 🐛 Allow exit code for dependencies with `yield` to always execute, by removing capacity limiter for them, to e.g. allow closing DB connections without deadlocks. PR [#5122](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/5122) by [@adriangb](https://github.com/adriangb).

* The Kubelet's deprecated `--allow-privileged` flag now defaults to true. This enables users to stop setting `--allow-privileged` in order to transition to `PodSecurityPolicy`. Previously, users had to continue setting `--allow-privileged`, because the default was false. ([#63442](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63442), [@mtaufen](https://github.com/mtaufen))
