Breaking-change evidence from the source
- All Cypress related services have been updated to use `https`. We are forcing `https` redirects for everything except for `api.cypress.io`, which would be a breaking change. By the next minor release we will force that as well. Once we make this change we will remove all versions below `0.13.7`. So make sure you **are not** locking the Cypress version when running in CI. We periodically remove old Cypress versions which have security flaws and this is an example of one.

- [.type()](https://on.cypress.io/type) has been upgraded to handle current selection ranges. Previously if an `<input>` had a selection range as Cypress began to type, this would be ignored. Cypress now takes this into account and will type over any selected text (as native typing would do).
