- Fixed a regression preventing garbage collection of RBAC role and binding objects ([#90534](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90534), [@apelisse](https://github.com/apelisse)) [SIG Auth]

* Change `kubeadm create token` to default to the group that almost everyone will want to use.  The group is system:bootstrappers:kubeadm:default-node-token and is the group that kubeadm sets up, via an RBAC binding, for auto-approval (system:certificates.k8s.io:certificatesigningrequests:nodeclient). ([#53512](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53512), [@jbeda](https://github.com/jbeda))

* Fix kube-proxy PodSecurityPolicy binding on GCE & GKE. This was only an issue when running kube-proxy as a DaemonSet, with PodSecurityPolicy enabled. ([#72761](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72761), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair))

- Kube-scheduler: Fine-grained tracking of events (introduced in 1.28) suffered from a data race when binding fails. ([#119729](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119729), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG Scheduling]

- Remove the deprecated metrics "scheduling_algorithm_preemption_evaluation_seconds" and "binding_duration_seconds", suggest to use "scheduler_framework_extension_point_duration_seconds" instead. ([#96447](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96447), [@chendave](https://github.com/chendave)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Scheduling...

* Fixes issue where an apiserver on 1.9 and controller-manager on 1.10 can cause volume provisioning and binding to fail. ([#71286](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71286), [@msau42](https://github.com/msau42))

- Fixed a log line in scheduler that inaccurately implies that volume binding has finalized ([#116018](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116018), [@TommyStarK](https://github.com/TommyStarK))

*   [alpha] Topology Aware Volume Scheduling
    *   Improved volume scheduling for Local PersistentVolumes, by allowing the scheduler to make PersistentVolume binding decisions while respecting the Pod's scheduling requirements.
    *   Dynamic provisioning is not supported with this feature yet.
*   [alpha] Containerized mount utilities

- Clear pod binding cache on bind error to make sure stale pod binding cache will not be used. ([#71212](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71212), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))
