Contributions summary:Mykola primarily contributed to improving the error handling and data conversion within the Cucumber-JVM framework. They addressed issues related to XStream failures, specifically handling null values and repeated columns, which improved the overall robustness of the data conversion process. The contributions include fixes to the enum to null conversion issue, along with tests that reproduced issues. Moreover, they also implemented a fix to improve error messages and added a custom enum converter which improves the data-table to enum feature.
