_Released 06/23/2021_ **Features:** - You can now override the default delay between typing characters for `.type()` with [`Cypress.Keyboard.defaults()`](https://on.cypress.io/keyboard-api) or via [test configuration](https://on.cypress.io/writing-and-organizing-tests#Allowed-config-values). Addresses [#566](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/566). - The experience when opening a new project via `cypress open` has been improved. Addressed in [#15826](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/15826). - The scaffolded example files have been updated to include examples tests of the TodoMVC project. - You can now easily delete all of the scaffolded example files directly from the Test Runner GUI. - There's now a button to create a new spec file when no spec files are found in the project. - A new onboarding banner with be present with helpful links for new users and new projects. - The incoming request object yielded to request handler functions passed to `cy.intercept()` (`req`) now has a `req.query` property, which is a getter/setter for the query parameters on the request URL. Addresses [#16327](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16327). - You can now pass an `ArrayBuffer` as a request / response body with `cy.intercept()`. Addresses [#16722](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16722) **Bugfixes:** - Cypress no longer hangs intermittently when using webpack 5. Fixes [#15447](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/15447). - It is no longer necessary to return the config from the plugins function when using the `dev-server:start` event for component testing. Fixes [#16860](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16860). - `cy.intercept()` now correctly sets the response body as a string instead of an ArrayBuffer when it contains multi-byte characters.

Fixes [#16722](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16722). - On Windows, the Cypress executable is now code signed by "Cypress.io, Inc.".
