Abstract in brief

Since its first release in 2001, the SPECTRA code has been widely used and repeatedly upgraded based on user feedback, improving its capabilities over nearly two decades.
These incremental upgrades, while enhancing functionality, have made the source code more complex, making maintenance and further development more difficult.
To address this, a major upgrade was implemented using recent advances in programming languages, adding new features and advanced functions to improve usability and performance.
