 # Release Notes for Dynamsoft Barcode Reader - 11.x
 
+## 11.6 (07/23/2026)
+
+### Highlights
+
+#### Multimodal PDF Content Extraction
+
+- **New PDF Reading Mode** - Added `PDFRM_MULTIMODAL` to `PDFReadingMode`, now the default for `PDFReadingParameter`. It extracts vector graphics, text content, and embedded images from PDF files, enabling stronger barcode reading performance in multimodal PDF scenarios.
+- **Performance Behavior Update** - Compared with full-page raster rendering, `PDFRM_MULTIMODAL` usually improves speed by avoiding unnecessary rendering of irrelevant regions.
+
+#### Multi-Threaded Barcode Decoding
+
+- **Get results sooner with parallel processing** - Barcode decoding now uses a breadth-first strategy that decomposes a single DBR Task into one Localization Work and one or more Decoding Works. This improves thread utilization and reduces the chance that a slow `DeblurMode` attempt blocks other faster decoding attempts, helping valid results come back sooner.
+
+#### DataMatrix Color Inversion Detection
+
+- **Handle normal and inverted DataMatrix more efficiently** - Added `AutoDetectColorInversion` to automatically handle both normal and inverted DataMatrix barcodes. Instead of processing the whole image twice, the SDK applies dual-polarity handling only to localized DataMatrix regions, which makes processing faster in dual-polarity scenarios.
+
+#### Barcode Layout Analysis
+
+- **Decode dense grid barcodes more completely** - Added `LayoutAnalyzer` to organize barcode locations into logical line or matrix layouts and infer unrecognized barcode regions when gaps exist, enabling workflows such as fast first-pass decoding, missing-region inference, and targeted second-pass decoding on dense N*M barcode layouts.
+
+#### Cross-Version License Support
+
+- **Use a single license across SDK versions** - Full License 1.0 keys (starting with "f") that are non-perpetual are no longer version-checked, so the same key can be used across SDK versions without reactivation.
