- `--api-audiences` now defaults to the `--service-account-issuer` if the issuer is provided but the API audience is not. ([#70308](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70308), [@mikedanese](https://github.com/mikedanese))

### SIG Auth

- 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.
