Organizations Settings has moved

We moved Organizations settings to the top level of the Clerk Dashboard to make it easier to enable and update maximum members limit

Updated Ruby SDK

The updated Ruby SDK has fixes, changes to core functionality and new features that were needed. The most important are:

• Fix: Proper caching of JWKS responses All requests to the Backend API now use application/json payloads. This also fixes particular calls to endpoints like the user.update request when passing in backup codes

• Added: The API key can now be set using the CLERK_SECRET_KEY environment variable [#28]

You can check out the release by update your Ruby SDK to Version: 2.9.0
