# 8.1.0

ReleasedReleased on July 28, 2021

**Features:**

-   When using `experimentalStudio`, you can now generate assertions in [Cypress Studio](/app/guides/cypress-studio) by right clicking on an element. Addressed in [#16295](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/16295).
    
-   When searching specs in the Test Runner during end-to-end testing, characters that are not letters will be ignored and don't have to be typed. Addressed in [#17346](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/17346).
    

**Performance:**

-   The Test Runner's performance has been improved when running a large number of commands within a single test. Fixes [#6783](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/6783).
    

**Bugfixes:**

-   Add Yarn v2 pnp support to our default webpack processor. Fixes [#8008](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/8008) and [#16111](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16111).
    
-   When running Cypress in global mode, an error will no longer be thrown when trying to add a new project to the Dashboard. Addressed in [#17514](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/17514).
