Closing in favor of #96. cucumber-java:8.0.1 doesn't resolve on its own: cucumber-core:8.0.1 pins io.cucumber:messages:34.2.1 while several of its other transitives (pretty-formatter, query, teamcity-formatter, usage-formatter, cucumber-json-formatter) require messages in the 32.x-33.x range — an unsatisfiable conflict in that release. #96 bumps to 8.0.3 instead, which resolves cleanly, and bumps cucumber-testng to the matching 8.0.3 alongside it.

[dependabot]

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
