 # Release Notes
 
+## New in Release 2.11.0
+
+Post-training Quantization:
+
+- Breaking changes:
+  - ...
+- General:
+  - ...
+- Features:
+  - (OpenVINO) Added Scale Estimation algorithm for 4-bit data-aware weights compression. This algorithm estimates a more optimal scale in compression scheme based on difference between output of matrix multiplication in the original precision and the compressed one. For that, the optional `scale_estimation` parameter has been added to `nncf.compress_weights()` and can be used to minimize accuracy degradation of compressed models (note that this option increases the compression time).
+  - (OpenVINO) Added GPTQ algorithm for 8/4-bit data-aware weights compression, supporting INT8, INT4, and NF4 data types. Introduced the optional `gptq` parameter to `nncf.compress_weights()` to enable the GPTQ algorithm.
+  - (OpenVINO) Added support for bf16 weights compression in `nncf.compress_weights()`
+- Fixes:
+  - (OpenVINO) Fix an incorrect Add node determination in FastBiasCorrection, BiasCorrection, and ChannelAlighnment algorithms.
+- Improvements:
+  - ...
+- Deprecations/Removals:
+  - Remove extra dependencies to install backends from setup.py (like `[torch]` are `[tf]`, `[onnx]` and `[openvino]`).
+  - Remove `openvino-dev` dependency.
+- Examples:
+  - Update ignored scope for YOLOv8 examples utilizing a subgraphs approach for OpenVINO and ONNX.
+- Tutorials:
+  - [Post-Training Optimization of Stable Video Diffusion Model](https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino_notebooks/tree/latest/notebooks/stable-video-diffusion/stable-video-diffusion.ipynb)
+  - [Post-Training Optimization of YOLOv10 Model](https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino_notebooks/tree/latest/notebooks/yolov10-optimization/yolov10-optimization.ipynb)

+- Known issues:

+- General:

+- Features:
+  - (PyTorch) `nncf.quantize` method now is the recommended path for the quantization initialization for Quantization-Aware Training.
+  - (PyTorch) Compression modules placement in the model now can be serialized and restored with new API functions: `compressed_model.nncf.get_config()` and `nncf.torch.load_from_config`. The [documentation](/docs/usage/training_time_compression/quantization_aware_training/Usage.md#saving-and-loading-compressed-models) for the saving/loading of a quantized model is available, and Resnet18 [example](examples/quantization_aware_training/torch/resnet18) was updated to use the new API.
