<h1>New Features in Cytoscape 2.7.0</h1>
</p>


<p>
<h3>Nested Networks</h3>
<p>
A node may now have a reference to another Network, which allows us to
capture the relationships between networks in networks themselves. This
feature includes a new file format (NNF) for nested network I/O and
direct nested network editing via the Editor and Right-click menu. A
Visual Property has been added to provide control of the visualization
of the nested network.
</p>

<h3>New Edge Types</h3>
<p>
Several new edge types between solid and dashed have been added.
</p>

<h3>Newlines and list editing in attribute browser</h3>
<p>
The attribute browser has been updated to allow newline characters to be
added by pressing the "Enter" key. List editing is now also enabled.
</p>

<h3>Automatic label wrap</h3>
<p>
A new visual property has been added that sets the width of a label. Any
label extending beyond this width will be automatically wrapped.
</p>

<h3>Arrow color optionally locked to edge color</h3>
<p>
Arrow color may now be bound to the edge color by checking a box in the
Dependencies pane of the Default Appearance Browser in the VizMapper,
which avoids the necessity of creating separate-yet-identical mappings
for edge, source, and target arrows.
</p>

<h3>CyCommandHandlers</h3>
<p>
Addition of a mechanism to the core to provide inter-plugin
communication
</p>

<h3>BioPAX Level 3 support</h3>
