+### QIT CLI 0.8.1 Release Notes
+
+#### What’s New
+
+##### Improved Orchestration in Custom Tests
+
+- **Shared Setup/Teardown in Bootstrap Mode**  
+  Additional plugins designated as *bootstrap* now properly execute their shared setup and teardown steps even if their test suites are skipped. This ensures the bootstrap phase correctly prepares the testing environment for all involved plugins.
+
+- **Automatic WooCommerce Dependency Handling**  
+  QIT now ensures that if WooCommerce is a required dependency for your plugin (as determined by WooCommerce.com product metadata - soon to be updated to use your plugin’s "Requires Plugins" header), it is automatically included.
+
+- **Enhanced Parameter Handling (`--tunnel`, `--dependencies`)**  
+  QIT now lists all possible values for these parameters, making it easier to discover valid options.
+
+- **Action Overrides for Additional Plugins**  
+  CLI overrides specified at runtime (e.g., `-p plugin:action` or `--plugin plugin:action`) now reliably take precedence over `qit.yml` settings.
+
+- **Corrected Path in `dependencies.json`**  
+  Fixed a typo referencing `qit/dependencies.json`. The correct file path is now `bootstrap/dependencies.json`, ensuring dependencies load as intended.
+
+#### Documentation Overhaul
+
+**Complete Documentation Rewrite**
+
+The QIT documentation at [qit.woo.com](https://qit.woo.com) has been entirely rewritten from scratch. The new documentation provides clearer explanations, step-by-step guides, and updated references to reflect recent orchestration improvements and configuration refinements.
+
+#### Support and Feedback
