 @item ESS[R]: The shorthand notation for lambda functions
 and the question mark are now fontified as keywords.
 Contributed by Maxime Pettinger.
 
+@item polymode: In our transition from literate libraries 
+(such as noweb documented below with respect to 19.04), we are now
+requiring the polymode packages as a more suitable replacement.
+Furthermore, we require the related polymodes including packages for
+poly-R, poly-noweb and poly-markdown. The package polymode itself, and
+the polymodes packages, are all on MELPA rather than ELPA. Therefore,
+you need to add MELPA to the list of installation archives as follows.
+@code{(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa-stable" .
+https://stable.melpa.org/packages/))} This will allow @code{M-x
+package-install} to proceed naturally.
