 ** New option `list-colors-sort' defines the color sort order
 for `list-colors-display'.
 
+** An Emacs Lisp package manager is now included.
+This is a convenient way to download and install additional packages,
+from elpa.gnu.org.  `M-x package-list-packages' shows a list of
+packages, which can be selected for installation.
+
+*** By default, all installed packages are loaded and activated
+automatically when Emacs starts up.  To disable this, set
+`package-enable-at-startup' to nil.  To change which packages are
+loaded, customize `package-load-list'.
