The physical models and numerical algorithms implemented in PyECLOUD are described in the document:

Electron Cloud Studies for CERN Particle Accelerators and Simulation Code Development (2014)

The main feature introduced later on are:

Boris tracking algorithm for accurate simulations in quadrupole fields (as described here)
Shortly-Weller algorithm for accurate field calculation with curved boundaries (as described here)
PyEC4PyHT module to simulate e-cloud effects on beam dynamics combining PyECLOUD with PyHEADTAIL
