### Bug or Regression

- Added jitter factor to lease controller that better smears load on kube-apiserver over time. ([#101652](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101652), [@marseel](https://github.com/marseel)) [SIG API Machinery and Scalability]

- Scheduler doesn't run plugin's Filter method when its PreFilter method returned a Skip status.
  In other words, your PreFilter/Filter plugin can return a Skip status in PreFilter if the plugin does nothing in Filter for that Pod.
  Scheduler skips NodeAffinity Filter plugin when NodeAffinity Filter plugin has nothing to do with a Pod.

behavior of some watch calls to the server when filtering on fields was incorrect.  If watching objects with a filter, when an update was made that no longer matched the filter a DELETE event was correctly sent.  However, the object that was returned by that delete was not the (correct) version before the update, but instead, the newer version.  That meant the new object was not matched by the filter.  This was a regression from behavior between cached watches on the server side and uncached watches, and...

- The scheduler skips the `PodTopologySpread` Filter plugin if no spread constraints.
  It will affect some metrics values related to the `PodTopologySpread` Filter plugin. ([#117683](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117683), [@utam0k](https://github.com/utam0k))

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Service session affinity timeout tests are no longer required for Kubernetes network plugin conformance due to variations in existing implementations. New conformance tests will be developed to better express conformance in future releases.

### Added

  you want to set the equivalent of any of the `--iptables-xxx` options.)
  
  As this code is still very new, it has not been heavily optimized yet;
  while it is expected to _eventually_ have better performance than the
  iptables backend, very little performance testing has been done so far. ([#121046](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121046), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))

- Fix a regression that the scheduler always goes through all Filter plugins. ([#114524](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114524), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei)) [SIG Scheduling]
