## Executive Summary (TL;DR)
Cypress v0.16.3. Source highlight: *Released 06/17/2016*

## Bug Fixes
- .type() can now be used on non-input elements that have a `tabindex` attribute. Key events will fire but no text content will change and no input based events fire. Fixes #172.
- There is now an ignoreTestFiles configuration option that accepts an array of `glob` patterns. This enables you to ignore extraneous spec files that may be created during a build process. The default pattern is `*.hot-update.js` which will ignore dynamically generated webpack hot module swapping files. Fixes #159.
- Fixed a bug where Cypress could get into a weird state and continuously error due to the `before:log` event not being properly disposed. Fixes #173.
- Fixed a bug where invalid UTF-8 characters were being set in XHR headers which caused XHR's to fail. We now properly encode and decode all values. Fixes #168.
- Nested directories under `cypress/support` no longer cause a `500` when tests run. This was due to Cypress not ignoring directories and trying to serve them as regular files. Fixes #163.
- Fixed situations where 3rd party libraries (such as New Relic were instrumenting XHR's identical to Cypress' implementation. This caused an infinite loop which would crash the browser. We've updated how we instrument XHR's to take this into account and deployed multiple fallbacks and strategies to prevent this kind of thing from happening in the future. Fixes #166.
