# 7.6.0

ReleasedReleased on June 22, 2021

**Features:**

-   You can now override the default delay between typing characters for `.type()` with [`Cypress.Keyboard.defaults()`](/api/cypress-api/keyboard-api) or via [test configuration](/app/core-concepts/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 [#16292](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16292).
    
-   `cy.intercept()` won't corrupt certain binary responses. Fixes [#16722](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16722).
    
-   On Windows, the Cypress executable is now code signed by "Cypress.io, Inc.". This fixes `spawn UNKNOWN` errors when launching Cypress with code signing required by policy on Windows. Fixes [#2543](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/2543)
    
-   We now warn on `EPERM` errors when accessing the project directory instead of erroring. Fixes [#16933](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16933).
    
-   Cypress now better handles running when browsers with unconventional versions are present on the machine. Fixes [#15485](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/15485).
    
-   Expanded the types for `CyHttpMessages.BaseMessage.headers` to support the value being an array of strings. Fixes [#16734](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16734).
    

**Dependency Updates:**

-   Added `enquirer` dependency. Fixes [#16846](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16846).
