Cytoscape 2.6.3

[Mike Smoot]

Hi Everyone,

The Cytoscape team would like to announce the arrival of version 2.6.3 of Cytoscape.  This release addresses bugs introduced because of Apple's recent security upgrade for OS X.  Specifically, this release fixes the problems of:

• Misshapen windows and panels within windows.
• Disappearing menus.
  

This release doesn't introduce any new features and shouldn't impact Windows or Linux users.  We anticipate another release that will include bug fixes and usability tweaks sometime in the next few months.  The downloads are now available on our website:

thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

is there some information on what plugin developers have to care about
to get the plugins working on apple computers properly?

[Mike Smoot]

This is a great question.  There were two things that we did:

• We updated the swing-layout jar which solved most of the misshapen windows problems.  You should see this update automatically.
  
• To solve the disappearing menus problem, we made sure every dialog was created with a parent component.  For Cytoscape this generally means calling the method Cytoscape.getDesktop() which returns an extension of a JPanel. This object can then be used as a constructor argument for a JDialog or JOptionPane.
  

thanks,
Mike
