now supports pod priority and creation of PriorityClasses ([user doc](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/pod-priority-preemption/))([design doc](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/design-proposals/scheduling/pod-priority-api.md))

* [alpha] This version now supports priority-based preemption of pods ([user doc](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/pod-priority-preemption/))([design doc](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/b...

- Callers of `wait.ExponentialBackoffWithContext` now must pass a `ConditionWithContextFunc` to be consistent with the signature and avoid creating a duplicate context. If your condition does not need a context you can use the `ConditionFunc.WithContext()` helper to ignore the context, or use `ExponentialBackoff` directly.

t".Request).{Do,DoRaw,Stream,Watch}` now require callers to pass a `context.Context` as an argument. The context is used for timeout and cancellation signaling and to pass supplementary information to round trippers in the wrapped transport chain. If you don't need any of this functionality, it is sufficient to pass a context created with `context.Background()` to these functions. The `(*"k8s.io/client-go/rest".Request).Context` method is removed now that all methods that execute a request accept...

- Migrated `pkg/scheduler/framework/preemption` to use [contextual logging](https://k8s.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/system-logs/#contextual-logging). ([#116835](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116835), [@mengjiao-liu](https://github.com/mengjiao-liu))

* HTTP transport now uses `context.Context` to cancel dial operations. k8s.io/client-go/transport/Config struct has been updated to accept a function with a `context.Context` parameter. This is a breaking change if you use this field in your code. ([#60012](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60012), [@ash2k](https://github.com/ash2k))

#### StatefulSet
* [beta] StatefulSet supports [RollingUpdate](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/statefulset/#rolling-updates) and [OnDelete](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/statefulset/#on-delete) update strategies.

  * [Nodes](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/assign-pod-node/#node-affinity-beta-feature) and [pods](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/assign-pod-node/#inter-pod-affinity-and-anti-affinity-beta-feature) now support affinity and anti-affinity
  * Advanced scheduling can be performed with [taints and tolerations](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/assign-pod-node/#taints-and-tolerations-beta-feature)

- Migrated the `nodevolumelimits` scheduler plugin to use [contextual logging](https://k8s.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/system-logs/#contextual-logging). ([#116884](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116884), [@mengjiao-liu](https://github.com/mengjiao-liu))

* kubectl: fixes a bug determining the correct namespace while running in a pod when the `--context` flag is explicitly specified, and the referenced context specifies the namespace `default` ([#72529](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72529), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
