Description
We describe the multi-purpose Monte-Carlo event generator WHIZARD
for the simulation of high-energy particle physics experiments. Besides
the presentation of the general features of the program like SM physics,
BSM physics, and QCD effects, special emphasis will be given to the support
of the most accurate simulation of the collider environments at hadron
colliders and especially at future linear lepton colliders. On the more
technical side, the very recent code refactoring towards a completely
object-oriented software package to improve maintainability, flexibilty
and code development will be discussed. Finally, we present ongoing work
and future plans regarding higher-order corrections, more general model
support including the setup to search for new physics in vector boson
scattering at the LHC, as well as several lines of performance improvement.
