* **[Pod priority and preemption](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/pod-priority-preemption/) is now enabled by default.** Note that this means that pods from *any* namespace can now request priority classes that compete with and/or cause preemption of critical system pods that are already running. If that is not desired, disable the PodPriority feature by setting `--feature-...

- Fixed a scheduler preemption issue where the victim pod was not deleted due to incorrect status patching. This issue occurred when the preemptor and victim pods had different QoS classes in their status, causing the preemption to fail entirely. ([#126644](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126644), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))

- A terminating pod on a node that is not caused by preemption no longer prevents `kube-scheduler` from preempting pods on that node
  - Rename `PreemptionByKubeScheduler` to `PreemptionByScheduler` ([#114623](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114623), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))
