* `kubectl run --env` no longer supports CSV parsing. To provide multiple env vars, use the `--env` flag multiple times instead of having env vars separated by commas. E.g. `--env ONE=1 --env TWO=2` instead of `--env ONE=1,TWO=2`. ([#47460](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47460), [@mengqiy](https://github.com/mengqiy))

* [GCP kube-up.sh] Variables that were part of kube-env that were only used for 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/...
