- Official support to build kubernetes with docker-machine / remote docker is removed. This change does not affect building kubernetes with docker locally. ([#97935](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97935), [@adeniyistephen](https://github.com/adeniyistephen)) [SIG Release and Testing]

- `--sync-frequency` will not affect the update interval of volumes that use `ConfigMaps`
  or `Secrets` when the `configMapAndSecretChangeDetectionStrategy` is set to `Cache`.

  It will affect some metrics values related to the InterPodAffinity Score plugin. ([#117794](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117794), [@utam0k](https://github.com/utam0k)) [SIG Scheduling]
- The scheduler skips the `PodTopologySpread` Filter plugin if no spread constraints.

- Expand scheduler priority functions and scheduling framework plugins' node score range to [0, 100]. Note: this change is internal and does not affect extender and RequestedToCapacityRatio custom priority, which are still expected to provide a [0, 10] range.

- Fixed bug where providing a FieldPath to a CRD Validation Rule would erroneously affect the reported field path of other unrelated CRD Validation Rules on the same schema. ([#123475](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123475), [@alexzielenski](https://github.com/alexzielenski))

    *   Clients using older endpoints will be unaffected. This change is only at the REST API level and is independent of the default behavior of particular clients (e.g. this does not affect the default for the kubectl `--cascade` flag).
    *   If you upgrade your client-go libs and use the `AppsV1()` interface, please note that the default garbage collection behavior is changed.
