Open XAL Status Report 2017

The Open XAL accelerator physics software platform is being developed through an international collaboration among several facilities since 2010 The goal of the collaboration is to establish Open XAL as a multi-purpose software platform supporting a broad range of tool and application development in accelerator physics (Open XAL also ships with a suite of general purpose accelerator applications). This paper discusses progress in beam dynamics simulation, interaction with control system and software organization. We present the current status of the project, a roadmap for continued development and an overview of the project status at each participating facility.
