 To not add to user's [JAR hell](https://nipafx.dev/jar-hell/), JUnit Pioneer is not taking on any runtime dependencies besides JUnit 5.
 Pioneer always depends on the lowest JUnit 5 version that supports its feature set, but that should not keep you from using 5's latest and greatest.
 
+Since 1.7.0 we also have an **optional** runtime dependency on [Jackson](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson), for our JSON-based extensions.
+You can read a bit more about our approach to dependencies in the [contribution guide](CONTRIBUTING.md#others).
+
 For our own infrastructure, we rely on the following compile and test dependencies:
 
-* JSR-305 (for static analysis)
 * AssertJ (assertions for our tests)
 * Mockito (mocking for our tests)
 * Log4J (to configure logging during test runs)
 * Jimfs (as an in-memory file system for our test)
+* Equalsverifier (for easier assertion of simple things)
