Can't access JIRA due to authentication being deprecated

[bahjat1993]

I can't access the latest JIRA instances using this library. Every time i try to do so i get an error, "Basic authentication with passwords is deprecated". I've tried substituting my password for my API key but i get the same error.

The whole library won't work with out this fix for latest versions of JIRA :(

This package also supports OAuth, Kerberos, and JWT. Here is the document

@bahjat1993 can you confirm if its working properly with version 3.0.1

attempted to login with basic_auth('email', 'api_token") this afternoon, and got a JiraError. It appears that this is not "fixed". #893 is a doc only change, and doesn't change the behaviour, which is something in the Jira library is attempting a non-token based basic_auth request.

It looks like #991 is opened to create a Token based auth type. It'd be great to expedite that so people working on scripts can use API token based basic auth.

@j5awry would you be able to check out that PR and validate?

@adehad is working on a implementation to get the CI system also to run for jira cloud ...

Thanks for willing to contribute!

The problem, as I have just experienced it, is that when you try to do token authentication and your credentials are wrong, you also get the same error message about basic auth being deprecated, even though you where trying to use a token.

So I think the error message needs to be changed in this case. It is extremely confusing currently.
