 # Upcoming
 
 ## Deprecations
-* Completely removed compression settings from most places[PR #1126](https://github.com/catalystneuro/neuroconv/pull/1126)
+* Completely removed compression settings from most places [PR #1126](https://github.com/catalystneuro/neuroconv/pull/1126)
 
 ## Bug Fixes
 * datetime objects now can be validated as conversion options [#1139](https://github.com/catalystneuro/neuroconv/pull/1126)
+* Fix a bug where data in `DeepLabCutInterface` failed to write when `ndx-pose` was not imported. [#1144](https://github.com/catalystneuro/neuroconv/pull/1144)
 
 ## Features
 * Propagate the `unit_electrode_indices` argument from the spikeinterface tools to `BaseSortingExtractorInterface`. This allows users to map units to the electrode table when adding sorting data [PR #1124](https://github.com/catalystneuro/neuroconv/pull/1124)
