In this seminar, I will describe developments of the FORM computer algebra system over the past several years, which include a built-in interface to a Feynman diagram generator, greatly improved performance for polynomial arithmetic using the FLINT library and additional capabilities for working with floating-point coefficients and special function evaluation. I will also discuss some ideas for future features as well as performance improvements and ways in which the test suite may be improved through automatic generation of test cases.
