[Roy S. <roy...@ic...>]

This is primarily a bugfix release, correcting a serious,
recently-discovered but long-standing bug that was capable of
producing inaccurate mapping derivative calculations on some mesh
geometries.

Other changes from 0.7.1 include:

   * Discontinuous hierarchic FE basis
   * PatchRecoveryErrorEstimator patch reuse option
   * New partitioning-aware Patch construction option
   * More efficient adjoint solves with PETSc
   * New projection example utility
   * Bare System objects are now useful for efficient utilities
   * Many Exodus/Nemesis output improvements
   * BoundaryInfo::sync() is now AMR- and ParallelMesh-compatible
   * More code is now ParallelMesh-compatible
   * More flexible Parallel:: APIs
   * Elem:: utilities for semi-structured grids
   * NodeConstraints calculations for moving mesh users
   * Stack trace output on any uncaught exception
   * Corrected non-standard C++ in FE class specializations
   * Multithreaded FEMSystem assembly functions
   * Assorted efficiency improvements
   * Various Trilinos, Tetgen, Triangle interface improvements
   * Compatibility with newer third-party packages, compilers
   * Read support for ABAQUS meshes
   * Many assorted bug fixes
