 ### Documentation and tutorial enhancements
 * Added a note in User Guide/DataInterfaces to help installing custom dependencies for users who use Z-shell (`zsh`). [PR #180](https://github.com/catalystneuro/neuroconv/pull/180)
 
+
 ### Features
 * Added `ConverterPipe`, a class that allows chaining previously intialized interfaces for batch conversion and corresponding tests [PR #169](https://github.com/catalystneuro/neuroconv/pull/169)
+* Added automatic extraction of metadata for `NeuralynxRecordingInterface` including filtering information for channels, device and recording time information [PR #170](https://github.com/catalystneuro/neuroconv/pull/170)
 * Added stubbing capabilities to timestamp extraction in the `MovieInterface` avoiding scanning through the whole file when `stub_test=True` [PR #181](https://github.com/catalystneuro/neuroconv/pull/181)
