 The jwt gem natively supports the NONE, HMAC, RSASSA, ECDSA and RSASSA-PSS algorithms via the openssl library. The gem can be extended with additional or alternative implementations of the algorithms via extensions.
 
-Additionally the EdDSA algorithm is supported via a [separate gem](https://rubygems.org/gems/jwt-eddsa).
+Additionally the EdDSA algorithm is supported via a the [jwt-eddsa gem](https://rubygems.org/gems/jwt-eddsa).
 
 For safe cryptographic signing, you need to specify the algorithm in the options hash whenever you call `JWT.decode` to ensure that an attacker [cannot bypass the algorithm verification step](https://auth0.com/blog/critical-vulnerabilities-in-json-web-token-libraries/). **It is strongly recommended that you hard code the algorithm, as you may leave yourself vulnerable by dynamically picking the algorithm**

-### Deprecation warnings
-
-Deprecation warnings are logged once (`:once` option) by default to avoid spam in logs. Other options are `:silent` to completely silence warnings and `:warn` to log every time a deprecated path is executed.
-
-```ruby
-  JWT.configuration.deprecation_warnings = :warn # default is :once
-```
-
-### Base64 decoding
-
-In the past the gem has been supporting the Base64 decoding specified in [RFC2045](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2045) allowing newlines and blanks in the base64 encoded payload. In future versions base64 decoding will be stricter and only comply to [RFC4648](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4648).
-
-The stricter base64 decoding when processing tokens can be done via the `strict_base64_decoding` configuration accessor.
-```ruby
-  JWT.configuration.strict_base64_decoding = true # default is false

 ## `JWT::Token` and `JWT::EncodedToken`
 
 The `JWT::Token` and `JWT::EncodedToken` classes can be used to manage your JWTs.
 
+### Signing and encoding a token
 ```ruby
 token = JWT::Token.new(payload: { exp: Time.now.to_i + 60, jti: '1234', sub: "my-subject" }, header: { kid: 'hmac' })
 token.sign!(algorithm: 'HS256', key: "secret")
 
 token.jwt # => "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1N..."
