# Release announcement: TablePress 1.3

WordPress 3.8 has been [released](https://wordpress.org/news/2013/12/parker/) and
brings a new styling for the admin Dashboard. Fittingly, the compatibility release
TablePress 1.3 is now available for download in the [WordPress Plugin Directory](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/)
and as an automatic update in your WordPress Dashboard.

TablePress has been downloaded almost 250,000 times and is currently ranking in 
the Top 15 of the highest rated plugins. Thank you to all users and supporters of

TablePress 1.3 is a stability and compatibility release. It has been adapted to 
the new styling of the WordPress Dashboard that WordPress 3.8 brings, and it includes
