Cypress Enhancements

Descriptive error messages added to assist with file upload

Clean Install Recommended

Cypress 2.6 will require a fresh install of Cypress due to breaking changes in the QRDA Errata release. As a result of these QRDA changes, test results developed using Cypress 2.5.1 will no longer be valid in Cypress 2.6. Cypress 2.5.1 will be supported, and available for testing, for 90 days following the release of Cypress 2.6 to give vendors ample time to upgrade to the 2014 QRDA Errata IG and the v2.6 release of Cypress.
