 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-04-03 - 4.1.1 - fix(zugferd)
+Refactor Zugferd decoders to properly extract house numbers from street names and remove unused imports; update readme hints with additional TInvoice reference and refresh PDF metadata timestamps.
+
+- Use regex in zugferd.decoder.ts and zugferd.v1.decoder.ts to split the street name and extract the house number.
+- Remove the unnecessary 'general' import from '@tsclass/tsclass' in zugferd decoder files.
+- Update readme.hints.md with a reference to the TInvoice type from @tsclass/tsclass.
+- Update the CreationDate and ModDate in the embedded PDF asset to new timestamps.
+
 ## 2025-04-03 - 4.1.0 - feat(ZUGFERD)
 Add dedicated ZUGFERD v1/v2 support and refine invoice format detection logic

 You can find the readme here: https://code.foss.global/push.rocks/smartexpect/src/branch/master/readme.md
 
+This module also uses @tsclass/tsclass: You can find the TInvoice type here: https://code.foss.global/tsclass/tsclass/src/branch/master/ts/finance/invoice.ts

 Don't use shortcuts when doing things, e.g. creating sample data in order to not implement something correctly, or skipping tests, and calling it a day.
 
 It is ok to ask questions, if you are unsure about something.
