* Advanced audit allows logging failed login attempts.

- Fixed a regression since 1.24 in the scheduling framework when overriding MultiPoint plugins (e.g. default plugins).
  The incorrect loop logic might lead to a plugin being loaded multiple times, consequently preventing any Pod from being scheduled, which is unexpected. ([#122368](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122368), [@caohe](https://github.com/caohe)) [SIG Scheduling]

* Allow for watching objects larger than 1MB given etcd accepts objects of size up to 1.5MB ([#72053](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72053), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))
* Improve efficiency of preemption logic in clusters with many pending pods. ([#72895](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72895), [@bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))



# v1.12.5

[Documentation](https://docs.k8s.io)

### Cloud Provider
- Azure: update disk lock logic per vm during attach/detach to allow concurrent updates for different nodes. ([#85115](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85115), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase))

      Post this PR, when users supply 0 for CacheSize this will result in a validation error.
   2. CacheSize type was changed from int32 to *int32. This allows defaulting logic to differentiate between cases where users explicitly supplied 0 vs. not supplied any value.

Protection feature is beta. ([#59052](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59052), [@pospispa](https://github.com/pospispa))

* iSCSI sessions managed by kubernetes will now explicitly set startup.mode to 'manual' to  prevent automatic login after node failure recovery. This is the default open-iscsi mode, so this change will only impact users who have changed their startup.mode to be 'automatic' in /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf.

* add reconcile command to kubectl auth ([#51636](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51636), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))
* Advanced audit allows logging failed login attempts ([#51119](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51119), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))
