# Release announcement: TablePress 1.12

I’m happy to announce that a new release of TablePress is now available. TablePress
1.12 can now be downloaded from the [WordPress Plugin Directory](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/)
and will show up as an automatic update in the WordPress Dashboard for existing 
users shortly.

TablePress 1.12 is a stability, maintenance, and compatibility release with these
changes:

 * Full compatibility with WordPress 5.5.
 * Enhancement: Add placeholder variables with table and cell information for use
   in formulas.
 * Bugfix: Properly handle math formulas with numbers in their names in the math
   parser.
 * Bugfix: Restore proper highlighting of input fields with invalid values in the
   admin area.
 * Updated external libraries (DataTables, SimpleXLSX, Build tools).
 * Some internal changes for better stability, translations, and documentation.

If you already updated to WordPress 5.5, you should also enable auto-updates for
TablePress, on the “Plugins” screen of your site’s admin Dashboard. That way, new
versions will be installed on your site automatically.
