CalcHEP is a package for computation of Feynman diagrams and integration over multi-particle phase space. The main idea prescribed into CalcHEP is to make available passing on from Lagrangians to the final distributions effectively with a high level of automation. This article presents new options of CalcHEP available in version 2.3. They are a) MSSM model with different SUGRA scenarios, b) interface with PDFLIB and implementation of new MRST/CTEQ structure functions, c) realization of approach to structure functions for models with diagonal CKM, d) generation of events and interface with PYTHIA, e) calculations in non-interactive (batch) regime, f)generation of code of different matrix elements for other programs, g) many new interface facilities.
