 **Features:**
 
-- *All CORS related issues should finally be fixed now.* Cypress now internally switches to the domain that you used in your {% url `cy.visit()` visit %}. This means that the correct domain will display in the URL based on the application currently under test. Your application's code will run under the current domain at all times. Previously we implemented an endless amount of hacks and internal translations to figure out the domain you were *supposed* to be on without actually being on the domain. This caused code to behave different and caused subtle issues. Those issues should now be resolved. The entire proxy layer has been rewritten to handle all HTTPS certificates flawlessly, continue to inject (even on HTTPS pages), and still know when to automatically bypass injection so you can open other tabs while testing in Cypress. These new proxy changes also unlock the ability to do things like whitelisting or blacklisting specific 3rd party domains, or even be able to stub not just XHR's but any kind of HTTP request.

 `cy.server()` comes with a `whitelist` function that by default filters out any requests that are for static assets like `.html`, `.js`, `.jsx`, and `.css`.
