* **Multiple schedulers**
  * Modify your PodSpecs that currently use the `scheduler.alpha.kubernetes.io/name` annotation on Pod, to instead use the `schedulerName` field in the PodSpec.
  * Modify any custom scheduler(s) you have written so that they read the `schedulerName` field on Pod instead of the `scheduler.alpha.kubernetes.io/name` annotation.
  * Note that you can only start using the `schedulerName` field **after** you upgrade to 1.6; it is not recognized in 1.5.

- Kubectl cluster-info dump changed to only display a message telling you the location where the output was written when the output is not standard output. ([#88765](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88765), [@brianpursley](https://github.com/brianpursley)) [SIG CLI]

* [fluentd-gcp addon] By default ingest apiserver audit logs written to file in JSON format. ([#52541](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52541), [@crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))

- Fixed #118052: nodeAffinity on pods can change prior to scheduling gates being removed even when podSpec.affinity is nil in the initial spec, this matches the 1.28 behavior to allow consistent integrators to be written. ([#118199](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118199), [@aleskandro](https://github.com/aleskandro)) [SIG Apps, Scheduling and Testing]

- Kubeadm: fix a regression where the KubeletConfiguration is not properly downloaded during "kubeadm upgrade" commands from the kube-system/kubelet-config ConfigMap, resulting in the local '/var/lib/kubelet/config.yaml' file being written as a defaulted config. ([#124497](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124497), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

## Dependencies

### Added
_Nothing has changed._

* Defaults for file audit logging backend in batch mode changed: ([#67223](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67223), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair))
    * Logs are written 1 at a time (no batching)
    * Only a single writer process (lock contention)

### Dockershim deprecation

Docker as an underlying runtime is being deprecated. Docker-produced images will continue to work in your cluster with all runtimes, as they always have.
The Kubernetes community [has written a blog post about this in detail](https://blog.k8s.io/2020/12/02/dont-panic-kubernetes-and-docker/) with [a dedicated FAQ page for it](https://blog.k8s.io/2020/12/02/dockershim-faq/).

### External credential provider for client-go
