## Version 0.8.1

Oct 1, 2026

A one-fix patch: turning the timeline on with `LIT_PLUGIN_TIMELINE=true` now brings up the Lit DevTools panel, not just the page runtime behind it.

### Fixed

* **`LIT_PLUGIN_TIMELINE=true` brings up the Lit DevTools panel.** Turning the timeline on through the env var injected the page runtime but left the panel out of Vite DevTools; it now mounts as it does with `timeline: true`.
