- Add a helper function to decode scheduler plugin args. ([#80696](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80696), [@hex108](https://github.com/hex108))
- Fix filter plugins are not been called during preemption ([#81876](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81876), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))

* Bug fixes:

	* Allow disabling federation controllers through override args ([#44209](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44209), [@irfanurrehman](https://github.com/irfanurrehman))

- Kubectl now handles newlines for `command`, `args`, `env`, and `annotations` in `kubectl describe` wrapping. ([#66841](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66841), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

  (at the cost of an occasional pod being scheduled non-optimally/violating existing
  pods preferred inter-pod affinities). To enable this scheduler option, set the
  `InterPodAffinity` scheduler plugin arg `ignorePreferredTermsOfExistingPods: true` ([#114393](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114393), [@danielvegamyhre](https://github.com/danielvegamyhre))

  When running test/e2e via the Ginkgo CLI, the v2 CLI must be used and `-timeout=24h` (or some other, suitable value) must be passed because the default timeout was reduced from 24h to 1h. When running it via `go test`, the corresponding `-args` parameter is `-ginkgo.timeout=24h`. To build the CLI in the Kubernetes repo, use `make all WHAT=github.com/onsi/ginkgo/v2/ginkgo`.

- Kubectl: Previously users cannot provide arguments to a external diff tool via KUBECTL_EXTERNAL_DIFF env. This release now allow users to specify args to KUBECTL_EXTERNAL_DIFF env. ([#95292](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95292), [@dougsland](https://github.com/dougsland)) [SIG CLI]
