qgraf is a computer program that can generate Feynman diagrams and represent them by symbolic expressions; no graphical representation is generated, though. It was written to assist in large perturbative calculations, in the context of Quantum Field Theory.

• Programming language: FORTRAN 77 (there should be some evolution in the next major release).
  Binaries/executables are not distributed; the program has to be compiled and linked, eg with gfortran.
  

• Latest release: version 3.3 (July 2018).
  The features added since the release of version 3.1.4 include:
  increased performance in some ‘extreme’ cases (3.1.5);
  option “onshellx”, an extended form of “onshell” (3.2);
  a way of restricting the configuration of external lines (3.3);
  the ability to require/disallow bridge-type propagators with certain momenta (3.3);
  improved treatment of duplicate vertices (3.3).

• A note to software developers: version 3.4, which should be available before the end of 2018, will be the next ‘stable’ version (ie available for a long period, minimal fixes if need be).

• Please report any error you may happen to find; the known problems are listed here.

• The algorithm used to generate the diagrams is described (in its basic form) in the following article:

qgraf-r is a computer program that can find (particle) number conservation rules for particle physics models — both “additive” and “multiplicative” rules. It can then identify (un)physical processes that break those rules, thereby establishing the non-existence of matching Feynman diagrams to all orders of perturbation theory.

qgraf-r may also be used in the cross-checking of model-files accepted by qgraf: if the rules found by qgraf-r are not as expected then the model description is likely wrong.

• Programming language: FORTRAN 77.
  No binaries either, the program should be compiled with eg gfortran.

• Latest release: version 0.6 (June 2018).

For now qgraf-r should be treated as a beta-release; it seems to work, though.
