- DRA: When the prioritized list feature was used in a request and the resulting number of allocated devices exceeded the number of allowed devices per claim, the scheduler aborted the attempt to allocate devices early. Previously, it tried to many different combinations, which could take a long time. ([#130593](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130593), [@mortent](https://github.com/mortent))...

- During device plugin allocation, resources requested by the pod can only be allocated if the device plugin has registered itself to kubelet AND healthy devices are present on the node to be allocated. If these conditions are not sattsfied, the pod would fail with `UnexpectedAdmissionError` error. ([#117719](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117719), [@swatisehgal](https://g...

- Fixed a bug where the CPU set allocated to an init container, with containerRestartPolicy of `Always`, were erroneously reused by a regular container. ([#119447](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119447), [@gjkim42](https://github.com/gjkim42)) [SIG Node and Testing]

- Added driver-owned fields in `ResourceClaim.Status` to report device status data for each allocated device. ([#128240](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128240), [@LionelJouin](https://github.com/LionelJouin)) [SIG API Machinery, Network, Node and Testing]

- Dynamic resource allocation: when a claim uses "wait for first consumer" allocation (the default), then it will now get deallocated after it was used by a pod. That ensures that the next pod isn't affected by previous scheduling decision and that resources are not kept allocated unless really needed. If keeping a claim allocated is desired, use "immediate allocation." ([#118936](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118936), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

- Kube-scheduler: in Kubernetes 1.33, the number of devices that can be allocated per ResourceClaim was accidentally reduced to 16. Now the supported number of devices per ResourceClaim is 32 again. ([#131679](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131679), [@mortent](https://github.com/mortent)) [SIG Node]

#### Other deprecations:
- The k8s.io/node-api component is no longer updated. Instead, use the RuntimeClass types located within k8s.io/api, and the generated clients located within k8s.io/client-go ([#87503](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87503), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Node and Release]

- New feature gate, ServiceIPStaticSubrange, to enable the new strategy in the Service IP allocators, so the IP range is subdivided and dynamic allocated ClusterIP addresses for Services are allocated preferently from the upper range. ([#106792](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106792), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))

- Dynamic Resource Allocator (DRA): Enhanced validation for the ResourceClaimParametersReference and ResourceClassParametersReference with the following...

* [alpha] Applications may now request pre-allocated hugepages by using the new `hugepages` resource in the container resource requests. ([#275](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/275), [@derekwaynecarr](https://github.com/derekwaynecarr))
