- Scheduler doesn't run plugin's Filter method when its PreFilter method returned a Skip status.
  In other words, your PreFilter/Filter plugin can return a Skip status in PreFilter if the plugin does nothing in Filter for that Pod.
  Scheduler skips NodeAffinity Filter plugin when NodeAffinity Filter plugin has nothing to do with a Pod.

* Restores the ability of older clients to delete and scale jobs with initContainers ([#59880](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59880), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- [migration phase 1] PodFitsHostPorts as filter plugin ([#83659](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83659), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))
- [migration phase 1] PodFitsResources as framework plugin ([#83650](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83650), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))

- Filter published OpenAPI schema by making nullable, required fields non-required in order to avoid kubectl to wrongly reject null values. ([#85722](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85722), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts)) [SIG API Machinery]

- The scheduler skips the `PodTopologySpread` Filter plugin if no spread constraints.
  It will affect some metrics values related to the `PodTopologySpread` Filter plugin. ([#117683](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117683), [@utam0k](https://github.com/utam0k))

- hcsshim is unchanged from v1.11, at v0.11 ([#64272](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64272))
- gitRepo volumes in pods no longer require git 1.8.5 or newer; older git versions are now supported. ([#62394](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62394))
- Upgraded crictl on GCE to v1.11.1, up from 1.11.0 on v1.11.  ([#66152](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66152))

- Kubernetes v1.13 moves support for Container Storage Interface to GA. As part of this move Kubernetes now supports CSI v1.0.0 and deprecates support for CSI 0.3 and older releases. Older CSI drivers must be updated to CSI 1.0 and moved to the new kubelet plugin registration directory in order to work with Kubernetes 1.15+.
