 # Release Notes for Dynamsoft Barcode Reader - 11.x
 
+## 11.4.1000 (02/03/2026)
+
+### Highlights
+
+#### AI-Powered Barcode Detection and Decoding
+
+- **PDF417 Localization Model** – Introduces the `PDF417Localization` neural network model for improved detection of PDF417 barcodes, especially in challenging conditions.
+
+- **Code39/ITF Decoding Model** – Adds the `Code39ITFDecoder` model for enhanced decoding of Code 39 and ITF barcodes under blur or low-resolution conditions.
+
+- **Deblur Models for 2D Barcodes** – New `DataMatrixQRCodeDeblur` and `PDF417Deblur` models provide more effective recovery from motion and focus blur for DataMatrix, QR Code, and PDF417 barcodes.
+
+#### ECI (Extended Channel Interpretation) Support
+
+- **ECI Information Return** – Added support for retrieving Extended Channel Interpretation (ECI) data from barcodes. The new `CECISegment` class along with `GetECISegmentsCount()` and `GetECISegment()` methods in `CBarcodeResultItem` and `CDecodedBarcodeElement` classes enable access to character encoding information embedded in barcodes.
+
+- **Automatic UTF-8 Conversion** – Barcode text is now automatically converted to UTF-8 based on ECI segments when available, improving compatibility with international character sets.
+
+#### Performance Improvements
+
+- **On-Demand Model Loading** – Implemented lazy loading for AI models, reducing initialization time by loading models only when first needed.
+
+- **Smart Model Selection** – Models are now loaded based on configured barcode formats, minimizing memory usage by excluding unused models.
+
+- **Improved Confidence Scoring** – Enhanced confidence score calculation for results from neural network models, providing more accurate quality indicators.
+
+- **DPM Barcode Optimization** – Improved recognition rate for Direct Part Marking (DPM) barcodes commonly used in industrial and manufacturing environments.
