- <li> <p>Extended: <code>DataOutBase::Patch</code> has been extended by a new
- boolean flag <tt>points_are_available</tt>, which defaults to
- <tt>false</tt>. It is set to <tt>true</tt> if the coordinates of the points
- defining the subdivision of a patch are appended to the <tt>data</tt> table
- contained in a <code>Patch</code>. This way, <code
- class="class">DataOut</code>::<code class="member">build_patches()</code> can
- use a <code class="class">Mapping</code> to represent curved boundaries,
- especially for higher order elements. This change corresponds to an extension
- of the intermediate format for graphics.
- <br>
- Using the given <code class="class">Mapping</code> to obtain function values
- in <code class="class">DataOut</code>::<code
- class="member">build_patches()</code> also fixes a bug for <code
- class="class">FE_RaviartThomas</code> and <code class="class">FE_ABF</code>
- elements, which need to evaluate the function values on the real (mapped) cell.

<li> <p> Fixed: On faces with wrong <code>face_orientation</code> the dofs
have to reordered in order to be combined with the correct shape
functions. This is only relevant for continuous elements in 3D. At least for
<code class="class">FE_Q</code> and systems of <code
class="class">FE_Q</code> this works now, for other finite elements the
reordering vector still has to be implemented.
