Abstract: We describe the multi-purpose Monte-Carlo event generator WHIZARDfor the simulation of high-energy particle physics experiments. Besidesthe presentation of the general features of the program like SM physics,BSM physics, and QCD effects, special emphasis will be given to the supportof the most accurate simulation of the collider environments at hadroncolliders and especially at future linear lepton colliders. On the moretechnical side, the very recent code refactoring towards a completelyobject-oriented software package to improve maintainability, flexibiltyand code development will be discussed. Finally, we present ongoing workand future plans regarding higher-order corrections, more general modelsupport including the setup to search for new physics in vector bosonscattering at the LHC, as well as several lines of performance improvement.
