 [QUnit DOM](https://github.com/simplabs/qunit-dom) provides **readable assertions for QUnit** and has been shipped with Ember since v3.1. If you haven't tried QUnit DOM yet, we recommend [checking out its API](https://github.com/simplabs/qunit-dom/blob/master/API.md) to see how you can simplify your tests.

+You can also try out a new assertion, `hasProperty`, to check for DOM properties. There can be subtle differences between `hasAttribute` (to check for HTML attributes) and `hasProperty` (for DOM properties):
+
+```javascript
+// These two assertions are equivalent.
+assert.dom('[data-test-input="I Agree"]')
+  .hasAttribute('checked', '')
+  .hasProperty('checked', true);
+
+// These three assertions are equivalent.
+assert.dom('[data-test-button="Delete"]')
+  .hasClass('btn').hasClass('btn-red')
+  .hasAttribute('class', 'btn btn-red')
+  .hasProperty('className', 'btn btn-red');
+```
+

+## [Back to the future with Ember Data packages polyfill 📦🚀](https://github.com/ember-data/babel-plugin-ember-data-packages-polyfill)
 
-<change section title emoji>
-<consider adding some bold to your paragraph>
+The [ember-data packages API](https://emberjs.github.io/rfcs/0395-ember-data-packages.html) allows you to import objects and methods from smaller packages in the ember-data module following guidelines similar to the ones established in the [Ember Modules RFC#176](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/176). With real and resolvable package paths, many developers can directly benefit from them with improved code reference information in their IDE. The ember-data packages API is available [since ember-data 3.11](https://blog.emberjs.com/2019/07/15/ember-3-11-released.html).
+
+There's nothing like a new, shiny API that makes your developer life easier. Even better if you can already use that API in your application
+without any upgrading! Users of ember-data with **version 3.10 and below** get to benefit
+from the new way of importing with the help of the [ember-data packages polyfill](https://github.com/ember-data/babel-plugin-ember-data-packages-polyfill)!
+
+The polyfill ensures that any instances of the Packages API import statements are transformed back to the legacy "DS" EmberData import syntax.
+You can opt-in to using the polyfill in your app, by upgrading your ember-cli-babel dependency to [version 7.14](https://github.com/babel/ember-cli-babel/releases/tag/v7.14.0) or higher for this [new feature](https://github.com/babel/ember-cli-babel/pull/318).
+
+Wanna learn more about how to use the new packages import syntax for ember-data? Be sure to give the [Ember 3.11 release post]((https://blog.emberjs.com/2019/07/15/ember-3-11-released.html) another read
+for practical code examples on how to use it and pop by the [#ember-data channel on the Ember Discord](https://discordapp.com/invite/emberjs) for more questions and discussions.
