# Release announcement: TablePress 1.14

I’m happy to announce that a new release of TablePress is now available. TablePress
1.14 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 1.14 is a stability, maintenance, and compatibility release with these
changes:

 * Full compatibility with WordPress 5.8.
 * Enhancement: Make behavior of bulk action selectors on the “All tables” screen
   more user-friendly.
 * Enhancement: Apply and enforce more granular coding standards for better code
   maintainability.
 * Enhancement: Allow import files with an .xlsm file extension, in addition to .
   xlsx files.
 * Enhancement: Add more options (filter and action hooks) for external integration
   of custom code.
 * Bugfix: Fix handling of the help box on the “Edit” screen when it’s opened again
   after closing it.
 * Bugfix: Properly return modified table data when external code integrates into
   TablePress.
 * Bugfix: Correctly localize dates in files names of downloaded export files.
 * Bugfix: Fix typos in the code for math formula parsing that could lead to error
   messages in rare cases.
 * Updated external libraries (DataTables, SimpleXLSX, Build tools).
 * Some internal changes for better stability, translations, and documentation.

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.
