Subject: Remove the deprecated update_support_points flag.
X-Git-Tag: v8.4.0-rc2~407^2
X-Git-Url: https://gitweb.dealii.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=92181a10c1076a46c1fad265b78c45c3d0b6b7fb;p=dealii.git

Remove the deprecated update_support_points flag.

This flag was deprecated in 2013 and has not done anything for a long
time. This flag has a rather interesting past:

* Its predecessor, a boolean 'update_ansatz_points' (which predates
  UpdateFlags) appeared in commit f11068359c42 in April 1998. This
  commit only implemented the option and not any actual functionality.
* Its first actual appearance was in commit e183dbbef3c1 in September
  1998 as a rename of 'update_ansatz_points'.
* The implementation of this flag in FEValues was removed in commit
  737af606cf92 in March 2001.
* The flag was removed for the first time in commit 0e03535fbf03 in
  September 2001.
* The flag reappeared (with no corresponding functionality) in commit
  cfb5ac8b76df in October 2007.
* The flag was marked as deprecated in commit d2b4ca622a844 in February
  2013.
