- Fixed CSI `PersistentVolumes` to allow Secrets names longer than 63 characters. ([#114776](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114776), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane))

- Added a alpha feature, behind the `RelaxedEnvironmentVariableValidation` feature gate.
  When that gate is enabled, Kubernetes allows almost all printable ASCII characters to be used in the names
  of environment variables for containers in Pods. ([#123385](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123385), [@HirazawaUi](https://github.com/HirazawaUi))

### Failing Test

- Escape the special characters like `[`, `]` and ` ` that exist in vsphere windows path ([#98830](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98830), [@liyanhui1228](https://github.com/liyanhui1228)) [SIG Storage and Windows]

  
  1. `apiGroup`: If set, it must be a valid DNS subdomain (e.g. 'example.com').
  2. `kind` and `name`: It must be valid path segment name. It may not be '.' or '..' and it may not contain '/' and '%' characters. ([#125218](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125218), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory))
- Enabled kubectl to find `kubectl-create-subcommand` plugins when positional

* Resolves regression generating informers for packages whose names contain `.` characters ([#82410](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82410), [@nikhita](https://github.com/nikhita))

- Limit vSphere volume name to 63 characters long. ([#100404](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100404), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))

### Failing Test

- Fix handing special characters in the volume path on Windows ([#99138](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99138), [@yujuhong](https://github.com/yujuhong)) [SIG Storage]

### Bug or Regression

- Volume mount cleanup now considers only plugin directory and not the entire kubelet root ([#112607](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112607), [@mattcary](https://github.com/mattcary))
- `kubectl` now escapes terminal special characters in output. This fixes CVE-2021-25743.
   ([#112553](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112553), [@dgl](https://github.com/dgl))

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

    <_comment>Based on TIKA-2469, we've added a heuristic/wild guess that the first 10 chars</_comment>
    <_comment>after the length byte should be \x00 or a non-control character.</_comment>
    <magic priority="80">
      <match value="(?s)^([\\x05-\\x0F])[\\x00\\x20-\\x7E]{10}.{43}\\1\x00" type="regex" offset="0"/>
