# 7.4.0

ReleasedReleased on May 23, 2021

**Features:**

-   Cypress now detects and supports testing in the Chrome Beta browser. Addresses [#16376](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16376).
    
-   There are new keyboard shortcuts to continue (c) and to go to the next test (n) when the Test Runner is paused via `.pause()` and to toggle auto-scrolling of the Test Runner (a). Addresses [#248](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/248).
    

**Bugfixes:**

-   [`cy.request()`](/api/commands/request) can now send binary files in form data. Fixes [#1647](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/1647).
    
-   [`cy.request()`](/api/commands/request) can now send blob data. Fixes [#6178](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/6178).
    
-   Fixed an issue where [`cy.wait()`](/api/commands/wait) could yield the incorrect result when used with [`cy.intercept()`](/api/commands/intercept) and several simultaneous requests. Fixes [#16451](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16451).
    
-   Improved the way that [`cy.intercept()`](/api/commands/intercept) matchers are displayed in the Command Log when using `RouteMatcher` properties besides `url` and `method`. Fixes [#9403](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/9403).
    
-   [`cy.intercept()`](/api/commands/intercept) argument validation has been improved. Invalid hostnames and extra arguments passed to `cy.intercept()` now result in an error. Addressed in [#16577](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16577).
    
-   [`cy.screenshot()`](/api/commands/screenshot) no longer incorrectly captures parts of the Test Runner UI during component testing. Fixes [#16543](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16543).
    
-   Spec files that containing spaces in the path will now properly open during `cypress open-ct`. Fixes [#16278](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16278).
    
-   Cypress now correctly uses the `componentFolder` and `testFiles` values from returned from plugins in the component testing runner. Fixes [#16424](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16424).
    
-   Video recordings in Chrome, Chromium, and Electron browsers will no longer drop frames, with the frequency increasing along with the length of the video. Fixes [#16648](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16648).
    
-   Tests located outside of the `projectRoot` will now open in IDE and generate studio commands when saved. Fixes [#16255](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16255).
    
-   `config` in the plugins file will now display in alphabetical order. Fixes [#16564](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16564).
