    1414The new numerical implementation, named '''GiBUU''', is written in modular [http://www.kcl.ac.uk/kis/support/cit/fortran Fortran2003] and based upon a [http://subversion.tigris.org/ Subversion] version control system, which allows for a concise control over the full development phase of the code.

    16 The [wiki:GiBUU_Code_history history of the code] is rather long and reports about several main development steps. The present inititiative is a total rewrite of the source code in a present-day computing language. The main goals of this effort were modularization to allow for a more transparent multi-user development process, a strict reduction of global variables for a more transparent debugging procedure, an improved control over the development phase such that modifications can be backtracked and a unified standard version. In the past, every member of the team had its own version of the code whereas in the present situation all members are programming in parallel on one single code. The technical overhead which comes with  this is compensated by the benefit of a faster distribution of improvements and innovations and their enhanced sustainability.
