* Fix a scalability issue where high rates of event writes degraded etcd performance. ([#64539](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64539), [@ccding](https://github.com/ccding))

- Various controllers that write out IP address or CIDR values to API objects now
  ensure that they always write out the values in canonical form. ([#130101](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130101), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Apps, Network and Node]

- Fixes creationTimestamp: null causing unnecessary writes to etcd ([#116865](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116865), [@alexzielenski](https://github.com/alexzielenski)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

    * Flatbuffer version update:
        * `GetTemporaryPointer()` bug fixed.

* `tf.data`
    * Add `wait` to `tf.data.Dataset.load`. If `True`, for snapshots written with `distributed_save`, it reads the snapshot while it is being written. For snapshots written with regular `save`, it waits for the snapshot until it's finished. The default is `False` for backward compatibility. Users of `distributed_save` are recommended to set it to `True`.

// for the file metadata. [Writer] takes ownership of fh and may mutate
// its fields. The caller must not modify fh after calling [Writer.CreateHeader].
//
// This returns a [Writer] to which the file contents should be written.
// The file's contents must be written to the io.Writer before the next
// call to [Writer.Create], [Writer.CreateHeader], [Writer.CreateRaw], or [Writer.Close].
