- Added a return value to `QueueingHint` to indicate an error. If `QueueingHint` returns an error,
  the scheduler logs it and treats the event as a `QueueAfterBackoff` so that
  the Pod won't be stuck in the unschedulable pod pool. ([#119290](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119290), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory))

* Mark multi-scheduler graduation to beta and then v1. ([#38871](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/38871), [@k82cn](https://github.com/k82cn))
* Scheduler treats StatefulSet pods as belonging to a single equivalence class. ([#39718](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/39718), [@foxish](https://github.com/foxish))

- Server Side Apply now treats LabelSelector fields as atomic (meaning the entire selector is managed by a single writer and updated together), since they contain interrelated and inseparable fields that do not merge in intuitive ways. ([#93901](https://github.com/kubernetes/k...

- SSA treats certain structs as atomic ([#100684](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100684), [@Jefftree](https://github.com/Jefftree)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Node and Storage]

- This fix prevents a GCE PD volume from being mounted if the udev device link is stale and tries to correct the link. ([#66832](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66832), [@msau42](https://github.com/msau42))

- kubeadm commands now print warnings if input YAML documents contain unknown or duplicate fields.
- kubeadm now properly recognizes Docker 18.09.0 and newer, but still treats 18.06 as the default supported version.
- kubeadm now automatically sets the `--pod-infra-container-image` flag when starting the kubelet.
