The new version 6.1 of the HERWIG event generator allows one to simulate hadronic final states in electron-positron annihilations using the O(αs2) partonic matrix elements (MEs) for e+e-→ q qgg and e+e-→ q q Q Q. The consequent phenomenology is discussed in the case of four-jet signatures of particular relevance to future electron-positron Linear Colliders (LCs), such as in Higgs boson searches. The new approach adopted in HERWIG is compared to the standard O(αs) description, as well as to other recently presented event generators also based on e+e-→4 parton MEs.
