- 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. ([#122370](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122370), [@caohe](https://github.com/caohe)) [SIG Scheduling]

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Fix regression in statefulset conversion which prevented applying a statefulset multiple times. ([#87721](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87721), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Apps and Testing]

- Fixed the reporting of elapsed times during evaluation of `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy` decisions and annotations. The apiserver_validating_admission_policy_check_duration metrics will now show elapsed times and no longer be zero. ([#128463](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128463), [@knrc](https://github.com/knrc))

* Fixes a goroutine leak in kube-apiserver when a request times out. ([#83333](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83333), [@lavalamp](https://github.com/lavalamp))

- Fixes regression in CPUManager that caused freeing of exclusive CPUs at incorrect times ([#90377](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90377), [@cbf123](https://github.com/cbf123)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Node]

* Fixes a goroutine leak in kube-apiserver when a request times out. ([#83333](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83333), [@lavalamp](https://github.com/lavalamp))

- Added a new Priority and Fairness metric `apiserver_flowcontrol_request_dispatch_no_accommodation_total` to track the number of times a request dispatch attempt results in a no-accommodation status due to lack of available seats. ([#106629](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106629), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem))

- DRA: Ensured that ResourceClaims requesting a fixed number of devices with `adminAccess` were no longer allocated the same device multiple times. ([#131299](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131299), [@nojnhuh](https://github.com/nojnhuh))

  must use `kubectl scale` to scale down the StatefulSet before deletion.

- `kubectl run --env` no longer supports CSV parsing. To provide multiple environment
  variables, use the `--env` flag multiple times instead. Example: `--env ONE=1 --env TWO=2` instead of `--env ONE=1,TWO=2`.

- Removed deprecated command `kubectl stop`.

- Kubectl can now use http caching for the OpenAPI schema. The cache

- A new metric `lifecycle_handler_sleep_terminated_total` is added to record how many times LifecycleHandler sleep got unexpectedly terminated. ([#122456](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122456), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan))
