Changes in version 0.9.12

use_basic_auth is renamed use_query_token and has the opposite meaning and default (and it is documented)

Using HTTP Basic Authentication is now an option use_basic_auth to create.gist.context(), default FALSE for compatibility with https://github.com/att/rcloud-gist-services.

Uses HTTP Basic Authentication instead of passing access_token in query string (#1)
