- Fixed a scheduler racing issue to ensure low priority pods are unschedulable on the node(s) where high priority pods have `NominatedNodeName` set to the node(s).  ([#77990](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77990), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))

  ### General
  - Fix priority expander falling back to a random choice even though there is a higher priority option to choose
  - Clone `kubernetes/kubernetes` in `update-vendor.sh` shallowly, instead of fetching all revisions

* azure: add PrimaryAvailabilitySet to config, only use nodes in that set in the loadbalancer pool ([#34526](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/34526), [@colemickens](https://github.com/colemickens))
* azure: lower log priority for skipped nic update message ([#34730](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/34730), [@colemickens](https://github.com/colemickens))



# v1.4.3

* NodeController waits for informer sync before doing anything ([#34809](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/34809), [@gmarek](https://github.com/gmarek))
* azure: lower log priority for skipped nic update message ([#34730](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/34730), [@colemickens](https://github.com/colemickens))

- Priority and Fairness feature is now `stable`, the feature gate will be removed in `v1.31`. ([#121638](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121638), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem))

- Node shutdown controller made a best effort to wait for CSI Drivers to complete the volume teardown process according to the pod priority groups. ([#125070](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125070), [@torredil](https://github.com/torredil)) [SIG Node, Storage and Testing]

- Updated `kube-proxy` with `nftables` to reject or drop traffic to services with no endpoints from filter chains at priority 0 (`NF_IP_PRI_FILTER`). ([#132456](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132456), [@aroradaman](https://github.com/aroradaman))
