The paper will report about the last achievements of the Elettra storage-ring FEL. The latter include: a) a noticeable improvement of the source performance (generation of coherent radiation at 87 nm, attainment of a very good shot-to-shot stability); b) general FEL studies, relevant to single-pass devices (characterization of the angular distribution of harmonic emission, analysis of the frequency pulling effect), and c) first user experiments (pump-probe on gas phase and solid-state samples).
