- Following metrics have been turned off:
  `scheduler_scheduling_latency_seconds`
  `scheduler_e2e_scheduling_latency_microseconds`
  `scheduler_scheduling_algorithm_latency_microseconds`
  `scheduler_scheduling_algorithm_predicate_evaluation`
  `scheduler_scheduling_algorithm_priority_evaluation`
  `scheduler_scheduling_algorithm_preemption_evaluation`

*   Refactor kube-scheduler configuration ([#52428](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52428))

* Default scheduler code is moved out of the plugin directory. ([#57852](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57852), [@misterikkit](https://github.com/misterikkit))
    * plugin/pkg/scheduler -> pkg/scheduler
    * plugin/cmd/kube-scheduler -> cmd/kube-scheduler

      - `scheduler_e2e_scheduling_latency_microseconds` -> `scheduler_e2e_scheduling_duration_seconds`
      - `scheduler_scheduling_algorithm_latency_microseconds` -> `scheduler_scheduling_algorithm_duration_seconds`
      - `scheduler_scheduling_algorithm_predicate_evaluation` -> `scheduler_scheduling_algorithm_predicate_evaluation_seconds`

- Performance of the inter-pod affinity/anti-affinity feature is improved over 100X via algorithmic optimization.
- DaemonSet pods, which used to be scheduled by the DaemonSet controller, will be scheduled by the default scheduler in 1.12. This change allows DaemonSet pods to enjoy all the scheduling features of the default scheduler.

    * to be scheduler by default scheduler, instead of Daemonset controller. When it is enabled,
    * the `NodeAffinity` term (instead of `.spec.nodeName`) is added to the DaemonSet Pods;
    * this enables the default scheduler to bind the Pod to the target host. If node affinity
    * of DaemonSet Pod already exists, it will be replaced.

- Fixed a scheduler panic due to internal cache inconsistency ([#71063](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71063), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))
- Report kube-scheduler unhealthy if leader election is deadlocked. ([#71085](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71085), [@bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))
