 Related anatomical preprocessing workflows from *sMRIPrep* have gone through
 thorough revisions.
-In particular, the brain extraction workflow now is implemented
-in pure Nipype.
+In particular, the brain extraction workflow now is implemented in pure Nipype.

 Users will notice the addition of two new subsections in the reports generated by
 *fMRIPrep*.
-The first addition describes the accumulative variance explained by increasing numbers
-of a/tComCor components.
+The first addition describes the cumulative variance explained by successive a/tCompCor
+components.
 A second addition shows the correlations between the confounding regressors that
 *fMRIPrep* writes to the corresponding file, and their correlation to the global signal.
-Series 1.4 start with numerous improvements in the adoption of pyBIDS
-to handle not only inputs, but also outputs and reportlets.

+Series 1.4 increasingly relies on PyBIDS to handle not only inputs, but also outputs and
+reporting.
 The reports generation system has been deeply refactored to improve its generalizability
 across BIDS-Apps and addressing some rendering problems (e.g., when resizing ICA-AROMA
 components decompositions).
-Finally, several maintenance activity and documentation updates complete a long
-overdue series of changes to the codebase.
