Version 11.8.0 Changelog (October 8th, 2025)

• Added a new Document classification engine to the Data Extraction Module. (DataExtractionModule.e_DocClassification). Document classification is an AI-trained SDK API that identifies each file on upload based on a predefined set of 19 categories, so you can validate intake, route to the right workflow, or add metadata for processing later. The output includes the predicted label with a confidence score in structured JSON for easy integration into your solution.
• CAD Title Block Extraction is an AI-powered API that automatically detects and extracts key information from engineering drawings. Building upon our Key-Value Extraction, it's designed to help architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) projects by eliminating the need for time-consuming manual searches and data entry.
• Node 24 is now supported.
• Python 3.13 for DataExtraction is now supported.

See our latest Release Notes for more about our new Smart Data Extraction with Server features, including supporting documentation to use document classification and CAD title block extraction.
