- Reduce critical section in watchcache to fix kube-apiserver scalability under heavy load of list requests ([#122027](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122027), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery]

## Dependencies

- Kube-apiserver --help flag help is now printed in sections. ([#64517](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64517), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

- Fixed the issue where logging output of kube-scheduler configuration files included line breaks and escape characters. The output also attempted to output the configuration file in one section without showing the user a more readable format.

### **API Machinery**

- Commands like `kubectl apply` now return errors if schema-invalid annotations are specified, rather than silently dropping the entire annotations section. ([#83552](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83552), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

## Urgent Upgrade Notes

### (No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

#### Cluster Lifecycle

- Container images tar files for `amd64` will now contain the architecture in the RepoTags manifest.json section.
  If you are using docker manifests there are not visible changes. ([#80266](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80266), [@javier-b-perez](https://github.com/javier-b-perez))
