**Features:**
- Added [.spread()](https://on.cypress.io/spread) method which spreads an array as individual arguments to a callback function,like [.then()](https://on.cypress.io/then).
- During an update Cypress will now display the updating message in the same coordinates as when the app was open by clicking the tray icon.
- After an update Cypress will now open back up and show itself in these same coordinates.
- [cy.wait()](https://on.cypress.io/wait) can now accept an array of route aliases which will wait until all have completed. This array of resolved XHRs will become the next subject.
- Each time an alias in used with a [cy.wait()](https://on.cypress.io/wait), Cypress will not resolve until the Nth request matching the outing alias responds. Fixes [#4](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/4).
- [cy.get()](https://on.cypress.io/get) has been upgraded to accept a routing alias. By default it will yield the last matched request, but also supports special alias properties which return a different request or potentially an array of requests.
