FERMI is a seeded free electron laser (FEL) based on the high gain harmonic generation (HGHG) scheme and has been generating intense and fully coherent extreme ultra-violet and soft x-ray pulses for several years. The high-degree performance of the FEL leans on a high brightness electron beam, with small transverse emittance (similar to 1 mu m) and a peak current of about 700-800 A. The main constraint on lasing at high harmonics of the seed is low electron time-slice energy spread. The optimization of the photoinjector and of some linac parameters has allowed a reduction of the relative slice energy spread to the level of few times of 10-5. With these new conditions, the FEL can be operated without the need of a laser heater to suppress micro bunching instabilities and this cold beam has allowed generation of extreme UV pulses with pulse energy exceeding a mJ, and with peak power of about 10 GW. We describe the electron beam characterization and the FEL performance improvement, including the extension of the range of harmonics of the seed which can be amplified, up to the twenty-fifth harmonic, i.e., 10 nm.
