Release Schedule

While we’re in the pre-release cycle period, the Release Team is still looking for a few shadows.

Featured PRs

129119: Fix PodTopologySpread matching pods counts for constraints with the same topologyKey

This PR addresses a bug in the Kubernetes scheduler where constraints sharing the same topologyKey could incorrectly overwrite each other’s results. By updating the PodTopologySpread plugin to index data structures by constraint, it isolates each constraint’s results. Additionally, replacing a map with a slice in the PreFilter stage significantly improves scheduling throughput for pods with topology spreading, boosting performance by up to 25% on large clusters. This change ensures more accurate scheduling and better resource distribution across nodes.
