VortoTextString not required without a value throws NullReferenceException

[mortenholmgaard]

We have a problem when trying to get the value with item.GetVortoValue("header") from an empty VortoTextString field. It happens both with new and existing nodes.

Stacktrace:

Header = item.GetVortoValue<string>("header");

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
Our.Umbraco.Vorto.Extensions.IPublishedContentExtensions.DoInnerGetVortoValue(IPublishedContent content, String propertyAlias, String cultureName, Boolean recursive, T defaultValue) +223
Our.Umbraco.Vorto.Extensions.IPublishedContentExtensions.GetVortoValue(IPublishedContent content, String propertyAlias, String cultureName, Boolean recursive, T defaultValue, String fallbackCultureName) +115

We can see in the umbraco.config cache that only the dtdguid field exists for the property:

<header><![CDATA[{
  "dtdguid": "8e902cf2-a6bc-49bb-9e8f-e37e7d102c2d"
}]]></header>

When we add text to the fields it works fine.

We are using version 1.5 from nuget and Umbraco 7.4.1.

Is it the intention that one should always use item.HasVortoValue("header") first? I think GetVortoValue() should return null when there is no value.

Sounds like a duplicate of #41, please try the nightly here https://ci.appveyor.com/project/mattbrailsford/umbraco-vorto/build/1.5.1.36/artifacts

Yes it sounds to be the same problem - I will wait for the nuget update.
