The S-DALINAC is a superconducting recirculating electron accelerator with a final energy of 130 MeV. It operates in cw at 3 GHz. It accelerates beams of either unpolarized or polarized electrons and is used as a source for nuclear- and astrophysical experiments at the university of Darmstadt since 1987. We will report on the operational findings, recent modifications and on the future upgrade plans: First results from the new digital rf control system, the injector current upgrade and the improved longitudinal working point will be presented. In addition, an overview of the future plans, namely installing an additional recirculation path and two scraper systems will be given.
