- Fixed two regressions introduced by the `PodDisruptionConditions` feature (on by default in 1.26):
  - pod eviction API calls returned spurious precondition errors and required a second evict API call to succeed

    `--enforce-node-allocatable=””`
  * Hard Eviction Thresholds will be subtracted from Capacity while calculating
    Node Allocatable. This will result in a reduction of schedulable capacity in
    clusters post upgrade where kubelet hard eviction has been turned on for
    memory. To opt-out set `--experimental-allocatable-ignore-eviction=true`.
  * More details on these feature here:

- Fixed the bug where `spec.terminationGracePeriodSeconds` of the pod will always be overwritten by the MaxPodGracePeriodSeconds of the soft eviction, you can enable the `AllowOverwriteTerminationGracePeriodSeconds` feature gate, which will restore the previous behavior.  If you do need to set this, please file an issue with the Kubernetes project to help contributors understand why you needed...

- Kubectl/drain: add disable-eviction option.Force drain to use delete, even if eviction is supported. This will bypass checking PodDisruptionBudgets, and should be used with caution. ([#85571](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85571), [@michaelgugino](https://github.com/michaelgugino)) [SIG CLI]...

- The `pod/eviction` subresource now accepts `policy/v1` eviction requests in addition to `policy/v1beta1` eviction requests ([#100724](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100724), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

* Fix metrics API group name in audit configuration ([#53493](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53493), [@piosz](https://github.com/piosz))
* Use separate client for leader election in scheduler to avoid starving leader election by regular scheduler operations. ([#53793](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53793), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

- Pod eviction now honors graceful deletion by default if no delete options are provided in the eviction request. ([#72730](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72730), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Fixed an issue where `StatefulSet` might not restart a pod after eviction or node failure. ([#120398](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120398), [@aleksandra-malinowska](https://github.com/aleksandra-malinowska))
