 We want to publish our [standalone npm packages](./npm) continuously as new features are added. Therefore, after any pull request that changes independent `@cypress/` packages in the [`npm`](./npm) directory will automatically publish when a PR is merged directly into `develop` and the entire build passes. We used [`semantic-release`](https://semantic-release.gitbook.io/semantic-release/) to automate the release of these packages to npm.
 
-We do not continuously deploy the Cypress binary, so `develop` contains all of the new features and fixes that are staged to go out in the next update of the main Cypress app. If you make changes to an npm package that can't be published until the binary is also updated, you should make a pull request against specifying this is not be merged until the scheduled  Cypress app release date.
