BREAKING CHANGE on 3.0.0 (OAuth)

Major version 3, changed it’s OAuth dependency from flask-oauth to authlib, due to this OAuth configuration changed:

Before:

OAUTH_PROVIDERS = [
    {'name':'google', 'icon':'fa-google', 'token_key':'access_token',
        'remote_app': {
            'consumer_key':'GOOGLE KEY',
            'consumer_secret':'GOOGLE SECRET',
            'base_url':'https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/',
            'request_token_params':{
              'scope': 'email profile'
            },
            'request_token_url':None,
            'access_token_url':'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token',
            'authorize_url':'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth'}
    }
]

Now:

OAUTH_PROVIDERS = [
    {'name':'google', 'icon':'fa-google', 'token_key':'access_token',
        'remote_app': {
            'client_id':'GOOGLE KEY',
            'client_secret':'GOOGLE SECRET',
            'api_base_url':'https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/',
            'client_kwargs':{
              'scope': 'email profile'
            },
            'request_token_url':None,
            'access_token_url':'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token',
            'authorize_url':'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth'}
    }
]
