1. TinkerCell will come with a folder full of modules, e.g. enzyme kinetics, gene regulation
2. Each reaction arc, such as a gene regulation arc, can be used to represent one of these modules. The interface will allow the user to double click on the gene regulation connector and load one of the modules to represent that process.
3. All modules will be encapsulated by default. Input/outputs will be represented using small input/output indicators on the items inside the module.
4. Users will be able to write Octave code for TinkerCell.
TinkerCell is a Computer-Aided Design software tool for Synthetic Biology that promotes collaboration through its plugin interface. This blog is used to keep notes on updates to the project.

Big change to Core library
Qt has stopped supporting the drawItems(...) method that allowed multiple graphic v, each showing different items from the scene. As a result, I have adopted a different (possibly better) architecture:
A "NetworkHandle" class is used to represent a network.
Each NetworkHandle consists of one or more NetworkWindows, where each NetworkWindow can contain a scene or a text editor. So, a network is defined by using multiple scenes and/or text editors.
