 # Release Notes
 
+## New in Release 2.12.0
+
+Post-training Quantization:
+
+- Features:
+  - (OpenVINO, PyTorch, ONNX) Excluded comparison operators from the quantization scope for `nncf.ModelType.TRANSFORMER`.
+  - (OpenVINO, PyTorch) Changed the representation of symmetrically quantized weights from an unsigned integer with a fixed zero-point to a signed data type without a zero-point in the `nncf.compress_weights()` method.
+  - (OpenVINO) Extended patterns support of the AWQ algorithm as part of `nncf.compress_weights()`. This allows apply AWQ for the wider scope of the models.
+  - (OpenVINO) Introduced `nncf.CompressWeightsMode.E2M1`  `mode` option of `nncf.compress_weights()` as the new MXFP4 precision (Experimental).
+  - (OpenVINO) Added support for models with BF16 precision in the `nncf.quantize()` method.
+  - (PyTorch) Added quantization support for the `torch.addmm`.
+  - (PyTorch) Added quantization support for the `torch.nn.functional.scaled_dot_product_attention`.
+- Fixes:
+  - (OpenVINO, PyTorch, ONNX) Fixed Fast-/BiasCorrection algorithms with correct support of transposed MatMul layers.
+  - (OpenVINO) Fixed `nncf.IgnoredScope()` functionality for models with If operation.
+  - (OpenVINO) Fixed patterns with PReLU operations.
+  - Fixed runtime error while importing NNCF without Matplotlib package.
+- Improvements:
+  - Reduced the amount of memory required for applying `nncf.compress_weights()` to OpenVINO models.
+  - Improved logging in case of the not empty `nncf.IgnoredScope()`.

+
+Compression-aware training:
+
+- Fixes:
