Cytoscape @version@ is the latest version of Cytoscape, which introduces a whole new architecture, developer API and set of user controls. Cytoscape @version@ represents a major redesign from the ground up, toward the goal of providing a stable, extensible, high-performance platform for network visualization and analysis.
This manual describes the installation and use of Cytoscape. For a high level understanding of Cytoscape and its ecosystem, we highly recommend reading the Welcome Letter accessible on the http://cytoscape.org website.

In future releases, we will continue to tweak and improve both the software and the documentation. This manual will be updated to reflect all the latest changes.
