โœจ New Features & Capabilities (1)

  • Improved headless performance, and added optimizations for early and often GC.

๐Ÿ”ง Bug Fixes & Patches (3)

  • There is now a cy.log() command for displaying an arbitrary message and args. Useful for providing context while testing and debugging long tests. Fixes #342.
  • cy.title() now uses the `document.title` property as opposed to querying for `<title>` elements in the `<head>`. Fixes #351 and #331.
  • We now exit correctly (with status of 1) in the case of headless renderer crashes. Additionally we capture these errors properly, explain what happened, and link to external error document to suggest fixes. Fixes #270 and #348.
