# Release announcement: TablePress 1.1

It’s my great pleasure to announce the availability of a shiny new release of TablePress.
Version 1.1 marks a big milestone and is now available for download in the [WordPress Plugin Directory](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/)
and as an automatic update in your WordPress Dashboard.

Before we get to the details, I’d like to take the time and thank all users and 
supporters of TablePress, especially those that supported the plugin with a [donation](https://tablepress.org/donate/?output_format=md)
or [good rating](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/reviews/) in the
WordPress Plugin Directory. TablePress has already been downloaded over 130,000 
times and is currently ranking in the Top 20 of the highest rated plugins. Thank
you very much!

The most interesting changes in TablePress 1.1 include:

 * **Experimental import for Excel files** (.xls and .xlsx)
 * More math functions in formulas (including if-conditionals, statistical functions,…)
 * Better “Custom CSS” saving for higher performance
 * Bugfix: Encoding problem during HTML import
 * Bugfix: Roles are now deleted during uninstallation
 * Bugfix: Search for tables was broken, if Shortcode had been changed
 * Plugin Unit Tests for automated code testing
 * Added several new translations (Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Dutch, Finnish, 
   Hebrew, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Latvian, Russian, and Turkish)
 * Many more internal improvements of code and usability
 * Updated external libraries
