- The `--pod` flag (`-p` shorthand) of the kubectl exec command has been marked as deprecated, and will be removed in a future version. This flag is currently optional. ([#66558](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66558), [@quasoft](https://github.com/quasoft))

  You can still access kubelet's `/healthz`, `/pods` and `/configz` by granting the caller `nodes/proxy` permission in RBAC but that also grants the caller permissions to exec, run and attach to containers on the nodes and doing so does not follow the least privilege principle. Granting callers more permissions than they need can give attackers an opportunity to escalate privileges. ([#126347](https://github.com/kuberne...

- Fix an ephemeral port exhaustion bug caused by improper connection management that occurred when a large number of objects were handled by kubectl while exec auth was in use.

- Fixed a bug where the kubelet choose the wrong container by its name when running `kubectl exec`. ([#113041](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113041), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert))

- `kubectl run` can set a service account name in the generated pod
  spec with the `--serviceaccount` flag.

- `kubectl proxy` now correctly handles the `exec`, `attach`, and
  `portforward` commands.  You must pass `--disable-filter` to the command to allow these commands.

- Added `cronjobs.batch` to "all", so that `kubectl get all` returns them.

 - Modify a crashing container for easier debugging by changing its image, for example to busybox, or its command, for example, to `sleep 1d` so you have time to `kubectl exec`.
 - Inspect configuration files on a node's host filesystem
