 ### Changed
 - Replace `convertToJWT()` interface with a more generic `__toString()` to improve extensibility (PR #874)
 - The `invalidClient()` function accepts a PSR-7 compliant `$serverRequest` argument to avoid accessing the `$_SERVER` global variable and improve testing (PR #899)
+- `issueAccessToken()` in the Abstract Grant no longer sets access token client, user ID or scopes. These values should already have been set when calling `getNewToken()` (PR #919)
