- Fixed a long-standing issue where `kubelet` rejected Pods with `NodeAffinityFailed` due to a stale informer cache. ([#134445](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134445), [@natasha41575](https://github.com/natasha41575))

- Removed scheduler names from preemption event messages. ([#114980](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114980), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo))

  a bug in the transforming informer during the Resync operation, 
  by making the transforming function idempotent. ([#124352](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124352), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery and Scheduling]

- Fully removed ...

### Bug or Regression

   ([#123520](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123520), [@haircommander](https://github.com/haircommander))
- Informers now supports adding Indexers after the informer starts.
   ([#117046](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117046), [@howardjohn](https://github.com/howardjohn))
- Printed more information when `kubectl describe` a `VolumeAttributesClass`.

- Extend kube-apiserver /readyz with new "informer-sync" check ensuring that internal informers are synced. ([#92644](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92644), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]
