## Executive Summary (TL;DR)
Cypress v0.16.0. Source highlight: *Released 05/17/2016*

## Breaking Changes & Deprecations
- Breaking Changes:** - Running tests in Cypress now requires either Chrome, Chromium, or Canary to be installed on your OS environment. We intend to expand support for more browsers in the future, but for now, only these 3 are supported.

## New Features
- All users must *LOG IN AGAIN* and re-add their projects. Sorry, we've changed the way we store local data.
- Browser sessions are spawned independently of your existing profiles and we've disabled things like password saving / prompting, JavaScript popup blocking, and other features which get in the way of testing. Read more here
- Added new commands to handle getting, setting, and clearing cookies: cy.clearCookie(), cy.getCookie(), and cy.setCookie().

## Improvements
- Improved error when cy.request() fails. The request parameters are now included in the error. Addresses #134.
- Improved initial Desktop Application startup performance by about `1.5s`.

## Bug Fixes
- Cypress.Cookies.debug() has been temporarily disabled and will be re-enabled later.
- There is a new cy.exec() command that can execute any arbitrary system command. Additionally there is a new execTimeout configuration option which is set to `60s` by default. Fixes #126.
- Cypress taskbar icon now displays correctly in OS X dark theme. Fixes #132.
- Fixed issue where server error's stack traces were being truncated in the Desktop app rendering them impossible to debug. Fixes #133.
- woff Fonts are now properly served from a local file system when using Cypress' web server. Fixes #135.
- Typing into an `input[type=tel]` now works. Fixes #141.
