+       New: There is now a new <code class="class">FE_Poly</code>
+       class which is templatized for polynomial spaces like <code
+       class="class">TensorProductPolynomials</code>, <code
+       class="class">PolynomialSpace</code> or <code
+       class="class">PolynomialsP</code>. Many finite element classes
+       are now derived from this class and the implementation of all
+       common functionality is now moved from these finite element
+       classes to <code class="class">FE_Poly</code>.
