Find and fix any use of deprecated functionality

I have gone through all files in the repo and didn't find anything marked as deprecated.

@mR4smussen What's next? :)

I have been looking at #191, but I’m not completely sure about in which parts of the command we wish to escape special characters. As discussed here, we are currently using a library which takes an Array and makes it into a string in which special characters are escaped.

Right now, I am simply working through the list from top to bottom :)
