+ New: Checked in new class <code class="class">FE_Q_Hierarchical</code>
+ derived from class <code class="class">FiniteElement</code>.
+ This element is analogous to <code class="class">FE_Q</code>, but
+ makes use of hierachical, shape functions, based on the
+ <code class="class">Polynomials::Hierarchical</code> class.
+ For degree>1, the non-nodal basis functions are "bubble" functions,
+ which are not Lagrange polynomials. Therefore, the usual interpolation
+ based on using unit support points will not work for degree>1.
+ I plan to submit a different interpolation-projection operator soon,
+ based on an hp-type interpolant.
+
+ Files are deal.II/include/fe/fe_q_hierarchical.h and
+ deal.II/source/fe/fe_q_hierarchical.cc.
