The most important improvements are:
-
-- Mapping of arbitrary order at curved boundaries. This includes the
- possibility of using sub-, iso- and super-parametric elements, as
- well as C1 mappings and shape functions depending on the actual grid cell.
-- A matrix class for conveniently filtering Dirichlet boundary values
