 ### Compatibility Mode
 
-u-msgpack-python offers a compatibility mode for the [old specification](https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack/blob/master/spec-old.md) to handle the old "raw" bytes msgpack type. When the compatibility mode is enabled, u-msgpack-python will serialize both unicode strings and bytes into the old "raw" msgpack type, and deserialize the "raw" msgpack type into bytes. To enable compatibility mode, simply set the `compatibility` boolean of the umsgpack module to `True`.
+The compatibility mode supports the "raw" bytes MessagePack type from the [old specification](https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack/blob/master/spec-old.md). When the module-wide `compatibility` option is enabled, both unicode strings and bytes will be serialized into the "raw" MessagePack type, and the "raw" MessagePack type will be deserialized into bytes.
