+Improved: The initialization of the mapping part of MatrixFree for mappings of
+type MappingQGeneric or derived classes has been made much faster. Apart from
+a single query per cell for the geometry via the MappingQGeneric class, all
+interpolations to metric terms at quadrature points are now done with
+matrix-free routines using sum factorization, providing similar performance as
+an operator evaluation.

+Improved: The detection of compression in the mapping data structures of
+MatrixFree has been made more general. It can now also detect when two cells
+(not necessarily adjacent ones) are translations of each other, so that the
+same set of Jacobians can be used on both. This helps the performance of
+matrix-free operator evaluation in case the geometry fits into processor
+caches and the operation is memory-bandwidth limited.
