Hello again everyone! 👋

Sorry for being away for a while - I had simply not time to keep the library in a shape that I'd like it to be. My apologies!

As a part of repo cleaning up process, I'd started migration to Cypress 13. But because it's a release that drops support for Node@12 (so introducing a breaking change) - we need to raise the major number of this library as well.

To do a proper "major" release I've figure it'll be a good time to take care of some long-staging issues & PRs before releasing v4. I'll try to handle them in upcoming days, so bear with me for little more time! All changes will land firstly to the branch feat/release-4.0.0 - you can keep track of code changes there.

List of PRs/issues/discussions that need to be handled before v4 release:

• Upgrade to Cypress 13
• Upgrade to Vitest 2
• Upgrade CI Scripts to newest version
• Upgrade Sharp to 0.33.5 (fix(deps): update all minor dependency bump #256 )
• Upgrade Node version used in the repo to 20
• Ability to change path by overriding task #179
• fix: autocleanup removes screenshots of other testing type #181 (Auto Cleanup Unused Files - Deletes too many files if you have both component and e2e tests #178 )
