- Added Clone method to the scheduling framework's PluginContext and ContextData. ([#82951](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82951), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g))

- Types: CycleState, StateData, StateKey and ErrNotFound moved from pkg/scheduler/framework to k8s.io/kube-scheduler/framework.
  Type CycleState that is passed to each plugin in scheduler framework is changed to the new interface CycleState (in k8s.io/kube-scheduler/framework) ([#131887](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131887), [@ania-borowiec](https://github.com/ania-borowiec)) [SIG Node, Scheduling, Storage and Testing]

- Implement `post-filter` extension point for scheduling framework ([#78097](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78097), [@draveness](https://github.com/draveness))
- Add Bind extension point of the scheduling framework ([#78513](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78513), [@chenchun](https://github.com/chenchun))

- Migrate `pkg/scheduler/framework/plugins/interpodaffinity/filtering.go`,`pkg/scheduler/framework/plugins/podtopologyspread/filtering.go`, `pkg/scheduler/framework/plugins/volumezone/volume_zone.go` to structured logging (#105931, @mengjiao-liu) [SIG Instrumentation and Scheduling]

  
  to package `k8s.io/kube-scheduler/framework`. Users should update import paths. The interfaces don't change.
  

- Added a new feature gate, `SchedulerQueueingHints` (enabled by default).
  The new feature gate activates a framework for fine-grained filtering of events related to scheduler plugins.

- Nodes now support [third party monitoring plugins](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/606).
- A new [Scheduling Framework](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/624) for schedule plugins is now Alpha.
- Continued deprecation of extensions/v1beta1, apps/v1beta1, and apps/v1beta2 APIs; these extensions will be retired in 1.16!

- Introduce `ComponentSLIs`...

- When a PreFilterResult filters out certain Nodes, the scheduling framework now categorizes them as rejected via `UnschedulableAndUnresolvable`. Consequently, these nodes are excluded from the candidates for the preemption process. Additionally, this update corrects how the scheduling framework handles the Unschedulable status from PreFilter. Previously, if PreFilter returned `Unschedulable`, it could lead to an unexpected abortion...

- e2e framework: `framework.WithFeatureGate` `[Alpha]`, `[Beta]` and `[Feature:OffByDefault]` tags are now set 1:1 with `Alpha`,  `Beta`, `Feature:OffByDefault` Ginkgo labels, replacing`Feature:Alpha` and `Feature:Beta` labels. `BetaOffByDefault` is also added as a Ginkgo...
