February 2025 – Ank Android Backend: Centralized Dependency Version Management implemented to improve maintainability, consistency, and upgrade velocity. Built a single source of truth for dependency versions by moving all declarations into libs.versions.toml and updating build scripts to reference the catalog. This reduces drift, simplifies onboarding, and accelerates future dependency upgrades.
