• Kubernetes v1.6.2 This version will be available for new clusters and opt-in master upgrades.
• You can create a cluster with HTTP basic authentication disabled by passing an empty username: gcloud container clusters create CLUSTER_NAME --username="" This feature only works with version 1.6.0 and later.
• Fixed a bug where SetMasterAuth would fail silently on clusters below v1.6.0. SetMasterAuth is only allowed for clusters at v1.6.0 and above.
• Fixed a bug for clusters at v1.6.0 and above where fluentd pods were mistakenly created on all nodes when logging was disabled.
• gcloud kubectl version is now 1.6.2 instead of 1.6.0.
