Abstract :
With the goal to be prepared for a start of construction in January 99, the SOLEIL project was recently reviewed. The main characteristics have been confirmed while some options have been revised. The preinjector is now a 100 MeV electron linac installed together with the Booster inside the storage ring. The storage ring energy is increased to 2.5 GeV in order to meet the new user´s requirements on the brilliance (B>1018) around 10 keV. Optics were reoptimised with an emphasis on the energy acceptance so as to obtain large Touschek lifetime. New designs of vacuum chamber and magnetic elements are in progress and a new type of superconducting cavity with heavily damped HOM´s at 353 MHz is being prototyped
