- Changed the error message displayed when a pod is trying to attach a volume that does not match the label/selector from "x node(s) had volume node affinity conflict" to "x node(s) didn't match PersistentVolume's node affinity". ([#129887](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129887), [@rhrmo](https://github.com/rhrmo)) [SIG Scheduling and Storage]

- Made node affinity in Persistent Volume mutable. ([#134339](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134339), [@huww98](https://github.com/huww98)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Node]

- CRI: Added a field to support CPU affinity on Windows. ([#124285](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124285), [@kiashok](https://github.com/kiashok)) [SIG Node and Windows]

- The Kubernetes API server merged selectors built from `matchLabelKeys` into the `labelSelector` of `topologySpreadConstraints`, aligning Pod Topology Spread behavior with Inter-Pod Affinity. To prevent breaking existing Pods using `matchLabelKeys`, this scheduler behavior was preserved until v1.34. Upgrades from v1.32 to v1.34 should be done incrementally (v1.32 → v1.33 → v1.34), ensuring Pods created at v1.32 with `matchLabelKeys`...

  These hints allow the scheduler to retry scheduling a Pod
  that was previously rejected by the InterPodAffinity plugin if there are changes (create, delete, or update) to a related Pod or a node that matches the pod affinity criteria.
