## Changelog since v1.8.12

### Other notable changes

* Add MAX_PODS_PER_NODE env so that user can use it to specify the default max pods per node for the cluster. IP_ALIAS_SIZE will be changed accordingly. Must have ip alias enabled. ([#63466](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63466), [@grayluck](https://github.com/grayluck))

- Added a new command line argument `--interactive` to kubectl. The new command line argument lets a user confirm deletion requests per resource interactively. ([#114530](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114530), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu)) [SIG CLI and Testing]
- Added a new feature gate, `SchedulerQueueingHints` (enabled by default).

- For raw block CSI volumes on Kubernetes, kubelet was incorrectly calling CSI NodeStageVolume for every single "map" (i.e. raw block "mount") operation for a volume already attached to the node. This PR ensures it is only called once per volume per node. ([#112403](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112403), [@akankshakumari393](https://github.com/akankshakumari393)) [SIG Storage]
