## Breaking Changes & Deprecations
- Breaking Changes:** - Previously, we auto-magically included all files within [`cypress/support`](https://on.cypress.io/writing-and-organizing-tests#Folder-Structure).

- We improved the logic around when and if we scaffold files on a new project. We're much smarter about this and not generating these forcibly every time. Fixes #285.
- Simplified handling of support files and made them less "magical". Fixes #286.
