This code definitely generates a mesh, thank you. 

However the boundary of the circle seems to be poorly approximated, at first 
glance (even for a very fine mesh) the boundary looks like a 32-sided polygon, 
and integration along the boundary also confirms this:

mesh = generate_mesh(Circle(Point(0, 0), 1), 200)
V = FunctionSpace(mesh,'CG',1)
print abs(2*pi - assemble(interpolate(Constant(1.0),V)*ds))

returns 0.0100883260877

This discrepancy does not decrease with a higher number N in the 
generate_mesh(... , N). I do not recall the old CircleMesh having this problem, 
and it seems problematic in terms of solving boundary value problems.

Yes, in addition to CircleMesh and SphereMesh, it was also at least
EllipseMesh and EllipsoidMesh.
