+  <li> Changed: FlatManifold takes as argument a periodicity option. This
+  used to be a Point<dim>, but it should have been a Tensor<1,dim>. This
+  is now changed.

   <li> Changed: The default nodal point distribution of FE_Q, FE_DGQ,
   FE_Q_DG0, FE_Q_Bubbles, and FE_TraceQ has been changed from equidistant
   points to the node points of the corresponding Gauss-Lobatto quadrature

+ <li> New: Added CompositionManifold to create new manifolds from two
+ ChartManifold objects. This can be used, for example, to rotate a

  <li> New: Added GridGenerator::torus() to generate the volume mesh of a
  torus in three dimensions and a manifold description TorusManifold to
  go with it.
