- Fixed a regression since `1.24` in the scheduling framework when overriding MultiPoint plugins (e.g. default plugins). The incorrect loop logic might have led to a plugin being loaded multiple times, consequently preventing any Pod from being scheduled, which was unexpected.

- A new extension point `PostFilter` is introduced to scheduler framework which runs after Filter phase to resolve scheduling filter failures. A typical implementation is running preemption logic. ([#91314](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/91314), [@Huang-Wei]...

- Fixed a bug in HorizontalPodAutoscaler. HPAs with `ContainerResource` metrics no longer return an error when container metrics are missing. Instead they use the same logic as `Resource` metrics to perform calculations.

- Revised the logic for DaemonSet rolling update to exclude nodes if scheduling constraints are not met.

- Scheduler changes its logic of calculating `evaluatedNodes` from "contains the number of nodes that filtered out by PreFilterResult and Filter plugins" to "the number of nodes filtered out by Filter plugins only". ([#124735](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124735),...
