   equations, see the discussion of \texttt{step-47} below) and greatly

+\item Previously, the \texttt{parallel::distributed::ContinuousQuadratureDataTransfer}
+  class, which transfers local quadrature point data onto the
+  children of newly refined cells, did not allow different regions of the
+  triangulation store quadrature data of different lengths. This release lifts
+  this restriction, which enables efficient quadrature data storage and data
+  transfer within a triangulation containing multiple material models, each with
+  their own number of local state variables and history variables.
+  As an example, in a solid mechanics simulation, a hyper-elastic material
+  model can be assigned to a region of the mesh requiring no history variables
+  while another part of the triangulation uses an elasto-plastic constitutive
+  model, requiring the storage of local plasticity data at quadrature points.
+  During each refinement of the mesh, \texttt{ContinuousQuadratureDataTransfer}
+  can be used to transfer and interpolate plasticity data from parent cells to
+  their children, ignoring the cells with hyper-elastic constitutive model.
