+title: Release of OMERO.server 5.6.12
+intro-blurb: The OME team is pleased to announce the release of OMERO.server 5.6.12
+---
+
+Today we are releasing OMERO.server 5.6.12 which includes:
+
+- Handle archive status being populated. Related to https://github.com/ome/omero-web/pull/555
+- Add more tests using the Tables service
+- an upgrade of Bio-Formats to version 7.3.1, see the [release announcement]({{ site.baseurl }}/2024/07/11/bio-formats-7-3-1.html).
+- an update of IceGrid templates to make OMERO.tables more configurable. 
+
+
+**Note:** This upgrade will not invalidate the Bio-Formats Memoizer cache. Please
+see the upgrade guide for further information. This upgrade will require an upgrade of OMERO.py to 5.19.4
+to ensure that the Tables service starts as expected. If OMERO.py is not upgraded, the Tables service will
+be marked as inactive.
+
+
+### Installing the Software:
