Streamed tool input decoding now processes only new data, not full input each time.
This PR introduces a new controller in Kubernetes that handles eviction requests imperatively using the EvictionRequest API, enabling more direct and controlled pod eviction management. It adds the core logic and tests for this eviction responder to improve how eviction operations are processed.
kubernetes/kubernetes · Feature · impact 8/10 · +2701 -2Go interfacesKubernetes controllersConcurrency with goroutinesUnit testing in GoThis update enhances Node.js's module compile cache to also store and reuse compiled WebAssembly modules, improving load performance by avoiding recompilation when possible. It adds support for caching serialized WebAssembly modules keyed by their source bytes and handles fallback compilation if cached data is rejected.

It integrates QUERY handling throughout Django's request processing, testing tools, and view dispatching, while leaving caching support for a future update.

It consolidates shared logic for model head sharing and introduces this feature as an optional configuration, resulting in significant speedups without affecting output quality.
