- Introduce `v1beta3` API for scheduler. This version 
  - increases the weight of user specifiable priorities.
  The weights of following priority plugins are increased
    - `TaintTolerations` to 3 - as leveraging node tainting to group nodes in the cluster is becoming a widely-adopted practice
    - `NodeAffinity` to 2

* Pod priority and preemption is now enabled by default. Even if you don't plan to use this feature, you might need to take some action immediately after upgrading. In multi-tenant clusters where not all users are trusted, you are advised to create appropriate quotas for two default priority classes, system-cluster-critical and system-node-critical, which are...

For more information, see [#53288](https://issue.k8s.io/53288).

* `kubeadm init` and `kubeadm join` invocations on newly installed systems can encounter a `/var/lib/kubelet is not empty` message during pre-flight checks that prevents setup. If this is the only pre-flight failure, it can be safely ignored with `--skip-preflight-checks`.

For more information, see [#53356](https://issue.k8s.io/53356#issuecomment-333748618).

    Potential impacts:

    * b. kubectl get pod test-pod -o custom-columns=CONTAINER:.spec.containers[-2:].name
* scheduler: use incremental scheduling cycle in PriorityQueue to put all in-flight unschedulable pods back to active queue if we received move request ([#73309](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73309), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))

  Previously, for IPv6, if the podSubnet had a mask lower than /112, kubeadm calculated a node-mask to be multiple of eight and splitting the available bits to maximise the number used for nodes.

- Fixed a regression since 1.24 in the scheduling framework when overriding MultiPoint plugins (e.g. default plugins).
  The incorrect loop logic might lead to a plugin being loaded multiple times, consequently preventing any Pod from being scheduled, which is unexpected. ([#122371](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122371), [@caohe](https://github.com/caohe)) [SIG Scheduling]

   The `read_vs_write_current_requests` metric histogram is adjusted, in the case of using API Priority and Fairness instead of max-in-flight, to divide by the relevant limit: sum of queue capacities for waiting requests, sum of seat limits for executing requests. ([#110164](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110164), [@MikeSpreitzer](https://github.com/MikeSpreitzer))

- Updates the `requestedToCapacityRatioArguments` to add resources parameter that allows the users to specify the resource name along with weights for each resource to score nodes based on the request to capacity ratio.
