* 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`.

- Text logging in Kubernetes components now uses [textlogger](https://pkg.go.dev/k8s.io/klog/v2@v2.120.0/textlogger). The same split streams of info and error log entries with buffering of info entries is now also supported for text output (off by default, alpha feature). Previously, this was only supported for JSON. Performance is better also without split streams. ([#114...

* Prevent hotloops on error conditions, which could fill up the disk faster than log rotation can free space. ([#40497](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40497), [@lavalamp](https://github.com/lavalamp))
