- Replaced Boolean-pointer-helper functions with the `k8s.io/utils/ptr` implementations. ([#132794](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132794), [@PatrickLaabs](https://github.com/PatrickLaabs)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, CLI, Node and Testing]

- The `WaitFor` and `WaitForWithContext` functions in the wait package have now been marked private. Callers should use the equivalent `Poll*` method with a zero duration interval. ([#115116](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115116), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

- api-machinery utility functions `SetTransportDefaults` and `DialerFor` once again respect custom Dial functions set on transports ([#65547](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65547), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Fixed a bug where CEL expressions in CRD validation rules would incorrectly compute a high estimated cost for functions that return strings, lists or maps.
  The incorrect cost was evident when the result of a function was used in subsequent operations. ([#119800](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119800), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Cloud Provider]

### API Change

- Fixed a bug where CEL expressions in CRD validation rules would incorrectly compute a high estimated cost for functions that return strings, lists or maps.
  The incorrect cost was evident when the result of a function was used in subsequent operations. ([#119807](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119807), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Cloud Provider]

*   Apply algorithm in scheduler by feature gates. ([#52723](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52723),[ @k82cn](https://github.com/k82cn))

- Expand scheduler priority functions and scheduling framework plugins' node score range to [0, 100]. Note: this change is internal and does not affect extender and RequestedToCapacityRatio custom priority, which are still expected to provide a [0, 10] range. ([#83522](https://githu...

* Add RequestedToCapacityRatioPriority priority function. Function is parametrized with set of points mapping node utilization (0-100) to score (0-10). ([#63929](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63929), [@losipiuk](https://github.com/losipiuk))

    2. Add function `GetMultiTenantServicePrincipalToken` to fetch multi-tenant service principal token, which will be used by Azure VM/VMSS Clients in this feature.
