improvements in the form of reduced memory use and lower element creating costs, hopefully making the OpenLayers code more usable in internet explorer as well as less of a memory hog in Firefox and other browsers. Additionally, a buffer is available around the main map grid which allows tiles to be loaded outside of the viewing area for faster dragging. git-svn-id: http://svn.openlayers.org/trunk/openlayers@1137 dc9f47b5-9b13-0410-9fdd-eb0c1a62fdaf

Getting OpenLayers
------------------
OpenLayers lives at http://www.openlayers.org/.
You can get OpenLayers from
http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/HowToDownload.
---------------------
Installing OpenLayers
---------------------
You can use OpenLayers as-is by copying build/OpenLayers.js and the
entire lib/ directory up to your webserver, putting them in the same
directory. To include the OpenLayers library in your web page, use:
<script type="text/javascript" src="OpenLayers.js" />
If you want to use the multiple-file version of OpenLayers (for, say,
debugging or development purposes), copy the lib/ directory up to your
webserver in the same directory you put the img/ folder. Then add
the following to your web page instead:
<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/OpenLayers.js" />
------------------------------------
Using OpenLayers in Your Own Website
