-- More elegant edge-based degrees of freedom are used for generalized Regge
-  finite elements.  This is a internal change and is not visible to other parts
-  of FEniCS.
-- The name of the mapping for generalized Regge finite element is changed to
-  "double covariant piola" from "pullback as metric". Geometrically, this
-  mapping is just the pullback of covariant 2-tensor fields in terms of proxy
-  matrix-fields. Because the mapping for 1-forms in FEniCS is currently named
-  "covariant piola", this mapping for symmetric tensor product of 1-forms is
-  thus called "double covariant piola". This change causes multiple internal
-  changes downstream in UFL and FFC. But this change should not be visible to
-  the end-user.
-- Added support for the Hellan-Herrmann-Johnson element (symmetric matrix
-  fields with normal-normal continuity in 2D).
-- Add method ``FiniteElement.is_nodal()`` for checking element nodality
-- Add ``NodalEnrichedElement`` which merges dual bases (nodes) of given
-  elements and orthogonalizes basis for nodality
-- Restructuring ``finite_element.py`` with the addition of a non-nodal class
-  ``FiniteElement`` and a nodal class ``CiarletElement``. ``FiniteElement`` is
-  designed to be used to create elements where, in general, a nodal basis isn't
-  well-defined. ``CiarletElement`` implements the usual nodal abstraction of
-  a finite element.
-- Removing ``trace.py`` and ``trace_hdiv.py`` with a new implementation of the
-  trace element of an HDiv-conforming element: ``HDivTrace``. It is also
-  mathematically equivalent to the former ``DiscontinuousLagrangeTrace``, that
-  is, the DG field defined only on co-dimension 1 entities.
-- All nodal finite elements inherit from ``CiarletElement``, and the non-nodal
-  ``TensorProductElement``, ``EnrichedElement`` and ``HDivTrace`` inherit from
-  ``FiniteElement``.
