+## [2.1.7] - 2026-01-25
+
+### Fixed
+- **`plot_event_study` reference period normalization behavior**
+  - Effects are now only normalized when `reference_period` is explicitly provided
+  - Auto-inferred reference periods only apply hollow marker styling (no normalization)
+  - Reference period SE is set to NaN during normalization (constraint, not estimate)
+  - Updated docstring to clarify explicit vs auto-inferred behavior

+### Changed
+- Refactored visualization tests to reuse `cs_results` fixture for better performance
