* Federation: Add `batch/jobs` API objects to federation-apiserver ([#35943](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/35943), [@jianhuiz](https://github.com/jianhuiz))

- The watch API endpoints prefixed with `/watch` are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. These standard method for watching resources (supported since v1.0) is to use the list API endpoints with a `?watch=true` parameter. All client-go clients have used the parameter method since v1.6.0. ([#65147](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65147),...

- Kube-apiserver: fixes a 1.27+ regression in watch stability by serving watch requests without a resourceVersion from the watch cache by default, as in <1.27 (disabling the change in #115096 by default). This mitigates the impact of an etcd watch bug (https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/17555). If the 1.27 change in #115096 to serve these requests from underlying storage is still desired despite the impact on watch stability, it can be re-enabled with a `WatchFromStorageWithoutResourceVersion`...

- Very large patches may now be specified to `kubectl patch` with the `--patch-file` flag instead of including them directly on the command line. The `--patch` and `--patch-file` flags are mutually exclusive. ([#93548](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93548), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton)) [SIG CLI]
