[ESS] ESS 25.01.0 released on ELPA

[Ramon Diaz-Uriarte]

Dear Vincent,

I've been experiencing the same issue (as I report too in https://github.com/polymode/polymode/issues/336#issuecomment-2661604492 ).

This is something that I started experiencing with AUCTeX 14.0.2 and seems related to the change, in AUCTeX, from "latex-mode" to "LaTeX-mode" ( https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/auctex-devel/2024-01/msg00002.html).

If you set the Rnw buffer to use AUCTeX (M-x LaTeX-mode), then polymode is deactivated.

What I've been doing is using AUCTeX 13 (at least both of 13.2.4 and 13.2.1 work).

Best,

R.

P.S. I can trigger the problem as follows

emacs -Q
M-x package-initialize
;; open/create file that ends on .Rnw
;; notice it is not using AUCTeX
M-x LaTeX-mode
;; notice no longer poly-noweb+r-mode
