- Experimental cy.session() API added to cache and restore cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage, reducing test setup time.
- HTTP request logging overhauled: fetch always appears in the Command Log, duplicate XHR/fetch logs merged, and request logs now show origin, stub status, modifications, and tooltip details.
- New Cypress.currentTest property for accessing the current test’s title, plus numerous bug fixes (Firefox cookie errors, split‑undefined errors, suite hook handling, Docker /etc/passwd regression, and cy.wait argument validation).
