+ Improved: The interface of preconditioner classes has changed.
+ Preconditioners are now considered linear operators like
+ matrices: they have members <code class="member">vmult</code>
+ and <code class="member">Tvmult</code> instead of the old <code
+ class="member">operator()</code>. This will allow the
+ implementation of further non-symmetric solvers.

New: there is now a function
<code class="member">SparseMatrix::el</code> that does mostly
<h3>deal.II</h3>

+ <li> <p>
+ New: classes <code class="class">FEDG_Px</code> implement
+ complete polynomial spaces of degree <em>x</em> on
+ quadrilaterals. Since they have less degrees of freedom than
+ <code class="class">FEDG_Qx</code>, there is no continuous
+ version for these elements. Implementation for P4 and 3D is
+ still incomplete.
