Worked on dependency modernization for the reqnroll/Reqnroll repository by upgrading the Gherkin library to version 30.0.0 across all relevant project files. Focused on ensuring release readiness by validating compatibility and updating the changelog to document the changes and associated release notes. This effort prepared the codebase to leverage new Gherkin features and bug fixes, improving parser reliability in automated tests and reducing future maintenance risks. The work centered on XML-based dependency management, emphasizing careful integration and validation to support upcoming sprints. No bug fixes were recorded during this period, with all efforts directed toward feature and dependency updates.
