abstract
We present an update of the Monte Carlo event generator TAUOLA for tau lepton decays, with substantially increased list of decay channels and new initialization options. The core of the program remains written in FORTRAN but necessary arrangements have been made to allow handling of the user-provided hadronic currents and matrix elements at the execution time. Such solution may simplify preparation of new hadronic currents and may be useful for fitting to the experimental data as well. We have implemented as default for TAUOLA a set of hadronic currents, which is compatible with the default initialization used by BaBar collaboration. Options for currents available in previous releases are still stored in the code, sometimes left defunct or activated by internal flags only. The new version of the program, includes also implementation of Lepton Flavour Violating tau decays. Finally, we present, as an example, a set of C++ methods for handling user-provided currents, matrix elements or complete new decay channels initialization which can be performed at the program execution time.
