davereader 0.5.16 --> new river5

[Dave Winer]

If you want the newest version of the reader, 

1. In the directory River5 is running in: npm update

2. Relaunch river5.js.

It should now say it's running River5 0.5.16.

It now maintains a river for each of the feeds you're subscribed to. 

This should make it possible to have a reverse-chronologic view of items from a single feed. 

A sort of simple mailbox reader function.

An experiment you can try after upgrading, assuming you subscribe to the Hacker News firehose feed (a great one for testing):

http://localhost:1337/getfeedriver?url=http://hn.geekity.com/newstories.xml

That'll show you the contents of the river for that feed, in JSON of course.

If you're not running it locally, substitute the name of your server for localhost, of course. ;-)
