 == !MouseWheel ==
  * It is now possible to zoom in/out with the mouse wheel instead of clicks.
 
 == Spiral Gridding ==
  * Instead of loading from the top to bottom of the map, !Openlayers will now start loading tiles from the center of the map.

 == Tile Re-Use ==
  * In order to lower memory constraints and reduce element creation times, !OpenLayers now creates a single set of images/tiles and reuses them as you scroll around the map.
