-`sbtserver` requires a running ^1.1.x sbt shell to connect to. It will look
-for this shell by searching upwards from the current working directory for
-the `project/target/active.json` file. This will only work when `sbtserver` is

+`sbtserver` requires a running ^1.1.x sbt shell to connect to. It will attempt
+to connect via TCP to the address defined in `g:ale_scala_sbtserver_address`.
+As `sbt` defaults to listening via unix sockets, place these settings into
