Why?

The private preview SDK section previously said "These are invite-only features. Once invited, you can install..." — implying users need an invitation to install the SDK. In reality, anyone can install the -alpha.X SDK versions. It's only the private preview API features that may require separate access approval.

This corrects the framing so developers aren't confused or discouraged from installing the SDK when they see "invite-only."

What?

  • README: remove "invite-only" language from the Private Preview SDKs section
  • Clarify that SDK installation is open to anyone, and that separate approval may be required for specific private preview API features

Pull request overview

Updates the README’s “Private Preview SDKs” section to clarify that anyone can install -alpha.X gem versions, while access to specific private preview API features may still require separate approval—reducing confusion about “invite-only” wording.

Changes:

  • Removes “invite-only” framing that could be interpreted as restricting SDK installation.
  • Explicitly notes that approvals apply to certain private preview API features, not the ability to install the -alpha.X SDK.
