<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>Current Drupal module is using an outdated version of the auth0-php library.</p>
<p>Current version being used by the latest release of the Drupal module is:</p>
<p> <code>"auth0/auth0-php": "^5.1"</code></p>
<p>Link to latest Packagist manifest available on Github: <a href="https://github.com/auth0-community/auth0-drupal/blob/master/composer.json">composer.json</a></p>
<p>There are more recent versions of the library available in Packagist:</p>
<li>8.x branch, latest release is <a href="https://github.com/auth0-community/auth0-drupal/blob/master/composer.json">8.0.5</a> published on January 05, 2022</li>
<li>7.x branch, latest version is <a href="https://packagist.org/packages/auth0/auth0-php#7.9.2">7.9.2</a></li>
<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<p>In order to ensure compatibility with Auth0 services, we should upgrade the Drupal module to either 7.x or 8.x of Auth0 library.<br>
We should probably discuss in the comments which version (7.x/8.x) the community has had more experience recently and which one is easier/faster to upgrade to.</p>
<p>The ideal situation would be to eventually migrate to Auth0 8.x branch, but I think it's OK upgrading to Auth0 7.x if that's what the community agrees to, as an intermediate step.</p>
<h3 id="summary-remaining-tasks">Remaining tasks</h3>
<ul>
<li><del>Create a new branch here on the D.O. project (Gitlab, I guess) for the new Auth0 library upgrade.</del>We should probably be using feature branches before pushing anything into a main development branch, but I have created it nonetheless: <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/auth0/-/tree/9.x-1.x"><code>9.x-1.x</code></a></li>
<li><del>The latest branch is 2.x, so 3.x would probably be the obvious choice.</del>Not per the naming conventions! It's the <code>9.x-1.x</code> branch above.</li>
<li>It's up to us, and unclear a this time, whether we would re-use the <del>3.x</del> <code>9.x-1.x</code> branch for both 7.x/8.x library upgrades, or put those in a separate <code>9.x-2.x</code> branch.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="summary-ui-changes">User interface changes</h3>
<p>None that I would think of, unless required by the new library version.</p>
<h3 id="summary-api-changes">API changes</h3>
<p>Needs discovery. There are currently a variety of forks on Github containing upgraded Auth0 library implementations. We could use these as examples and review/integrate those changes back to the D.O. project.</p>
<h3 id="summary-data-model-changes">Data model changes</h3>
<p>None unless required by the new library version.</p>

</ul>
<p>If you have a recently updated fork using versions Auth0 lib 7.x or 8.x and would like to contribute, please mention it in the comments!</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>: Matt over at Github mentioned he is using 7.x version of the Auth0 lib, should definitely take a peek at that fork!</p>
