* let patch use --local flag like `kubectl set image` ([#26722](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/26722), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))
* enable recursive processing in kubectl edit ([#25085](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/25085), [@metral](https://github.com/metral))

- Kube-scheduler: fixes a 1.27.14 regression that can lead to a scheduler crash when processing pods with affinity that doesn't match a real/valid node ([#125043](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125043), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]

## Dependencies

### Added

- Fix output of `kubectl get --watch-only` when watching a single resource ([#79345](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79345), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
- Make kubectl get `--ignore-not-found` continue processing when encountering error. ([#82120](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82120), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))

In some cases, for pure data validation and processing, you can get performance improvements of **20x** or more. This means 2,000% or more. 🤯

* Fix watch to not send the same set of events multiple times causing watcher to go back in time ([#73845](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73845), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))
* fixes an error processing watch events when running skewed apiservers ([#73482](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73482), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Kube-scheduler: fixes a 1.29.5 regression that can lead to a scheduler crash when processing pods with affinity that doesn't match a real/valid node ([#125041](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125041), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]

- Kube-scheduler: fixes a 1.30 regression that can lead to a scheduler crash when processing pods with affinity that doesn't match a real/valid node ([#125039](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125039), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]

- Fixed a memory leak in the Kubernetes API server that occurs during APIService processing. ([#117311](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117311), [@enj](https://github.com/enj)) [SIG API Machinery]

// d := bLimbs[i] // T[n+i] = addMulVVW(T[i:n+i], aLimbs, d) // } // // where d is a digit of the multiplier, T[i:n+i] is the shifted // position of the product of that digit, and T[n+i] is the final carry. // Note that T[i] isn't modified after processing the i-th digit. // // Instead of running two loops, one for Step 1 and one for Steps 2–6, // the result of Step 1 is computed during the next loop. This is // possible because each iteration only uses T[i] in Step 2 and then // discards it in Step...
