CB Connect and deprecated Github API

[#8135] CB Connect and deprecated Github API was created by RobertvanderHulst
We are using CB connect on our website so new users can register with an existing account on Facebook, Google and Github.
Since a while we are receiving warnings from Github that our website is using a deprecated API:
Code:
On August 25th, 2020 at 01:45 (UTC) your application (XXXXXX) used an access token (with the User-Agent Guzzle/4.2.2 curl/7.58.0 PHP/7.3.21) as part of a query parameter to access an endpoint through the GitHub API. https://api.github.com/user Please use the Authorization HTTP header instead as using the `access_token` query parameter is deprecated. Depending on your API usage, we'll be sending you this email reminder on a monthly basis. Visit https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-10-deprecating-auth-through-query-param for more information about suggested workarounds and removal dates.
I am not 100% sure, but I think this is coming from CB Connect.
XXXXXX is the name of the OAuth application for our Github organization.
The callback url on Github is oursite.com/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbconnect/endpoint.php?provider=github

Is that correct and if so, what can I do to switch to the newer API and get rid of these warnings.

Looks like it was just a change to their API when requesting authorized endpoints. Have added a feature ticket to CB Connect to implement the newer API.

This is now implemented in the latest build release available now to use latest GitHub OAuth header. Note the old way of loading plugin library files was also replaced in this release so if it fails to install initially try again and that should clear it up as that can happen sometimes when CB Connect is in memory at same time as install.
