This week Clerk has been focusing on improvements to our documentation, bug fixes, and iterating on our Organization components. 

Our organization components were released just last week, and we received a lot of great feedback from our users. We fixed some bugs and made improvements to the 

Clerk has been working hard on our app directory beta. One of the most significant changes this week is it is now rolled into the latest production package. We also updated our documentation to reflect this, which you can read 

We introduced documentation for alternative backends, starting with TRPC. I am a massive fan of TRPC and its end-to-end type safety. 

If you are thinking about checking out Clerk and love TRPC, we now have 

 on how to integrate them.

A special thanks to Molo Tech Lab for their amazing project 

 that allowed the team to translate our components into French and German. This project is open source, free, and under the MIT license. 

Thanks to our customer Finary for showing us this cool project.

Changelog November 18, 2022

Clerk has updated our SDK to support Next.js version 13.4.0. We've added stable support for the App Router, which is the default for new applications. We've also improved the ergonomics of our middleware helper for more composability and to mitigate common pitfalls.

See the updates in our new Next.js documentation

Next.js version 13.4.0 launched today and the App Router is now stable. In turn, Clerk's support for the App Router is also now stable in 

 helpers have been moved to a permanent home in 

 are no longer necessary, and you can import from 

 intstead. The package now automatically detects if components are being used from a client component or a server component, and loads the proper form.

Along with today's launch, we've also released a new middleware helper to make things a little easier and more composable.

In its simplest form, these few lines are all you need to integrate Clerk:

Stable Support for the Next.js App Router, plus a Middleware Update!

We introduced a new Change password flow this week, that allows the user to change their password and log out all sessions via our user profile component.

You can now bulk invite users to an organization via Clerk's API allowing you to invite a whole team quickly. 

You can specify a different 

 for each invited organization member. New organization invitations get a "pending" status until they are revoked by an organization administrator or accepted by the invitee. 

The request body supports passing an optional 

 parameter for each invitation. When the invited user clicks the link to accept the invitation, they will be redirected to the provided URL. 

Use this parameter to implement a custom invitation acceptance flow. You must specify the ID of the user that will send the invitation with the 

 parameter. 

Each invitation can have a different inviter user. Inviter users must be members with administrator privileges in the organization. Only "admin" members can create organization invitations.

Below is a simplified version

We have added a dedicated section for our hosted pages in the Clerk dashboard. You can find them under customization, this will give you links to preview hosted pages as well as a way to customize some of the look and feel.
