- Generated `ResourceClaim` names are now more readable because of an additional hyphen before the random suffix (`<pod name>-<claim name>-<random suffix>`). ([#120336](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120336), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

- Fixed an EndpointSlice Controller hashing bug that could cause EndpointSlices to incorrectly handle Pods with duplicate IP addresses. For example this could happen when a new Pod reused an IP that was also assigned to a Pod in a completed state.

  Before this PR, if PreFilter return `Unschedulable`, it may result in an unexpected abortion in the preemption, 
  which shouldn't happen in the default scheduler, but may happen in schedulers with a custom plugin. ([#119779](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119779), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Scheduling]

- Overall, enable the feature of `PreferNominatedNode` will  improve the performance of scheduling where preemption might frequently happen, but in theory, enable the feature of `PreferNominatedNode`, the pod might not be scheduled to the best candidate node in the cluster.

- DRA: The scheduler plugin prevented abnormal filter runtimes by timing out after 10 seconds. This was configurable...

- Fix a bug that when PodTopologySpread rejects Pods, they may be stuck in Pending state for 5 min in a worst case scenario.
  The same problem could happen with custom plugins which have Pod/Add or Pod/Update in EventsToRegister,

This release continues to enable more existing features on Windows, including container CPU resources, image filesystem stats, and flexvolumes. It also adds Windows service control manager support and experimental support for Hyper-V isolation of single-container pods.

### OpenStack

- Scheduler bugfix: Scheduler doesn't lose pod information when nodes are quickly recreated. This could happen when nodes are restarted or quickly recreated reusing a nodename.
