- Kubelet now exposes `/debug/flags/v` to allow dynamically setting glog logging level.  For example, to change glog level to 3, you only have to send a PUT request like `curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:8080/debug/flags/v -d "3"`.

* The following deprecated flags were removed from `kube-controller-manager`:

    These 2 flags can be used only for dual-stack clusters. For non dual-stack clusters, continue to use  `--node-cidr-mask-size` flag to configure the mask size.

    The default node cidr mask size for IPv6 was 24 which is now changed to 64. ([#79993](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79993), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase))

  and removed `--short` flag entirely. ([#116720](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116720), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))

* The Kubelet now explicitly registers all of its command-line flags with an internal flagset, which prevents flags from third party libraries from unintentionally leaking into the Kubelet's command-line API. Many unintentionally leaked flags are now marked deprecated, so that users have a chance to migrate away from them before they are removed. In addition, one previously leaked flag, --cloud-provider-gce-lb-src-cidrs, has been entirely removed from the Kubelet's command-line...

*   The kube-scheduler command now supports a `--config` flag, which is the location of a file containing a serialized scheduler configuration. Most other kube-scheduler flags are now deprecated.
