We describe recent developments of the public computer code HiggsBounds. In particular, these include the incorporation of LHC Higgs search results from Run 2 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, and an updated and extended framework for the theoretical input that accounts for improved Higgs cross section and branching ratio predictions and new search channels. We furthermore discuss an improved method used in HiggsBounds to approximately reconstruct the exclusion likelihood for LHC searches for non-standard Higgs bosons decaying to $\tau\tau$ final states. We describe in detail the new and updated functionalities of the new version HiggsBounds-5.

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 5.5

    In the RxSM, singlet-driven SFOEWPTs yield strong LISA GW signals with SM-like Higgs couplings, while doublet-driven ones yield large κ_λ deviations visible at ILC1000 but weak GWs.

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Exotic decays A/H to Z h_S or Z A_S exclude large regions of the type-II 2HDM+S parameter space for moderate tan beta values where conventional 2HDM channels are weak.

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 4.0

    In natural SUSY with Δ_EW<30, light bino-higgsino neutralinos are always subdominant dark matter (f≤0.02), and HL-LHC can probe the surviving parameter space.
