New features:
* [In-memory indexing & caching](https://kopf.readthedocs.io/en/stable/indexing/) for faster lookup/listing of resources from all handlers. #661
* Global `memo` with keys available throughout all operator- & resource-level handlers. 667
* Embedded operators accept `memo=` with arbitrary values to be used as a context. 667
* Custom `memo` classes for embedded operators instead of the default `kopf.Memo`. 667
Improvements:
* Better documentation on the hierarchies toolkit, with detailed examples. 671 672
* 3rd-party (`pykube-ng` & `kubernetes`) objects/models are now supported for hierarchies. 672
* Other tiny improvements for the hierarchies toolkit:
* Relabelling of the target resources with labels of the current owner.
* `forced=` flag in all functions, incl. names/namespaces.
* `nested=` now accepts a single string too: `nested="spec.jobTemplate"`.
* `adopt()` has got `forced` & `strict` options (in addition to `nested`).
* And others: see 671
Bugfixes:
* Stop daemons & timers while the operator is on peering freeze. 675
* Use `0.0.0.0` for liveness probes in docs. 665 by brennerm
