[tor-commits] [metrics-web/release] Replace Gson with Jackson.

30 May 2018

commit 205d6da163cae97fe167dd3a89bad52e4c06375c
Author: Karsten Loesing <karsten.loesing@gmx.net>
Date:   Tue May 22 21:41:18 2018 +0200

    Replace Gson with Jackson.
    
    Note that a side-effect of this change is that the generated news.json
    uses slightly different formatting. These are just cosmetic changes
    that don't have any effect on provided website content.
    
    Implements #26169.
