Fixed a bug in the Webserver class REST API class. The issue was that sometimes authors do not have a first name. Thus, the statement to remove whitespaces from the first name threw an NPE.
This release has also brought an update of a wide range of dependencies. Thus, quite some changes were required to fix the resulting bugs. The updates were necessary because the old dependencies were often SNAPSHOTs which did not exist any more.
The web application is running fine with an existing index and term database. It might be, however, that new indexing or the creation of the term database currently wouldn't work.
