 Some big changes "under the hood" have been made, leading to limited support for unsynchronised output to `stdout` or to a named pipe and continuation of defacto support for unsynchronised PulseAudio. Also, support for a configuration file in preference to command line options, an option to ignore volume control and other improvements are provided.
 
 In this release, Shairport Sync gains the ability to read settings from `/etc/shairport-sync.conf`.
-This gives more flexibility in adding features gives better compatability across different versions of Linux.
+This gives more flexibility in adding features gives better compatibility across different versions of Linux.
 Existing command-line options continue to work, but some will be deprecated and may disappear in a future version of Shairport Sync. New settings will only be available via the configuration file.
 
 Note that, for the present, settings in the configuration will have priority over command line options for Shairport Sync itself, in contravention of the normal unix convention. Audio back end command line options, i.e. those after the `--`, have priority over configuration file settings for the audio backends.
