This version extends the previous one by new physics models: four versions of Little Higgs models, and toy models with gravitons or gravitinos, i.e., spin 3/2 and spin 2.
This version mainly collects bug fixes and minor improvements and additions, some of them suggested by users. The color (QCD) treatment of O'Mega is now working and stable. In the MSSM model definition, a few bugs have been corrected; the model is now tested in all aspects and checked against Madgraph and Sherpa.
It should be noted that WHIZARD now works with the current g95 compiler.
This version contains an updated Madgraph module. It allows the user to define his own model, analogous to the CompHEP module where this has been possible previously. The model is specified (for both modules) in the file conf/models/MODELNAME.mdl.
Further new features include the calculation of decay widths and more flexibility in defining beams for scattering processes. A couple of bugs have also been fixed.
This version of WHIZARD has the MSSM available. You will need a recent version of the matrix element generator O'Mega. It also contains a revised phase space module, such that all six-fermion processes can now be treated by the default setup, and with reasonable efficiency. 8-fermion processes can also be simulated, although few cases have been tested so far. Furthermore, new features have been added to the beamstrahlung interface.
