Description
In this presentation we release the new version 2.1 of the Monte Carlo event
generator WHIZARD for high-energy physics collider experiment simulations. After
reviewing the status of the new development line 2.x, we discuss news and
improvements coming with the first major revision 2.1. These include the analytic
parton shower for initial and final state radiation, developments in the direction of
support for NLO calculations, more efficient generation and evaluation of
multi-parton SM matrix elements, new BSM features as well as important technical
improvements.
