This is where
Dave Winer
narrates his development work.
worldOutline.root
Two big changes in this release:
1. We can now dive into feeds in the world outline.
2. You can now include bits of what worldOutline.root serves as inclusions in outlines, thereby feeding back into worldOutlines, and any other context that inclusions work in.
Along the way, there were improvements in the way inclusions are handled in the OPML Editor, what happens when you expand them. Should be much faster and it caches the outlines, using the same mechanism developed to make the server more reliable.

feedHose.root
Added a pref on client side, for each feed, called fOpml.
It's the path to a file that we save the OPML of the hose to every time it updates.
If you point into your dropbox public folder, or another folder that's available on the web, you can include the OPML in your worldoutline.

Note that there's already code in the app that writes an HTML file every time there's an update. It works the same way except the pref is called fHtml
