Passport-github js, user-agent error

Yesterday I could successfully login in my application via Passport.js and Passport-github module, today I received such an error:

500 failed to fetch user profile (status: 403 data: {"message":"Missing or invalid User Agent string. See http://developer.github.com/v3/#user-agent-required"})

So anyone else gets it?

Is it change in gihub oauth policy?

Do we need to contribute to this on passport-github / node-oauth modules?

Just add a user-agent to your Strategy:

new GitHubStrategy({
        clientID: <githubClientID>,
        clientSecret: <githubClientSecret>,
        callbackURL: <callback>,
        customHeaders: {"User-Agent" : <your agent string>}
      },
      findOrCreateUserByOAuth
    )

Since April, 24th, User Agent is now mandatory.
