Description

APFEL is a numerical code specialized for PDF fits that provides a
fast and accurate solution of the DGLAP equations. In addition to PDF
evolution, APFEL also provides a module that computes DIS cross
sections in several mass schemes. In this contribution I will present
the most recent and relevant developments carried out in APFEL. They
include: the computation of the time-like evolution, the
implementation of the SIA cross sections needed for the determination
of FFs, the small-x resummed evolution, and the implementation of the
NLO QED corrections both to the DGLAP evolution and the DIS structure
functions. I will then mention some of the most recent results
obtained using APFEL and finally I will conclude discussing some
relevant future plans related to the determation of FFs and TMD
