* action required: the API server and client-go libraries have been fixed to support additional non-alpha-numeric characters in UserInfo "extra" data keys. Both should be updated in order to properly support extra data containing "/" characters or other characters disallowed in HTTP headers.

- kubeadm: fixed a bug in the underlying library for diff related to characters like '%' ([#73941](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73941), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

* Modified influxdb petset to provision persistent  volume. ([#28840](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/28840), [@jszczepkowski](https://github.com/jszczepkowski))
* Allow service names up to 63 characters (RFC 1035) ([#29523](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/29523), [@fraenkel](https://github.com/fraenkel))

- 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))

empty. The type and surrounding parenthesis are present only if different from the extension. A textual representation can be parsed into an object (supported for ModuleRevisionId only yet), as long as a strict set of characters is used for each field (which is recommended). Allowed characters are: organisation a-z A-Z 0-9 - / . _ + = module a-z A-Z 0-9 - / . _ + = branch a-z A-Z 0-9 - / . _ + = revision a-z A-Z 0-9 - / . _ + = , [ ] { } ( ) : @ artifact a-z A-Z 0-9 - / . _ + = extension a-z A-Z 0-9 -...

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

- In the `kubectl describe` output, the fields with names containing special characters are now displayed as-is without any pretty formatting, avoiding awkward outputs.  ([#75483](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75483), [@gsadhani](https://github.com/gsadhani))
