+### Bugfixes

+- It was discovered that ``alignment`` option value doesn't affect paragraph alignment at all. This was fixed. Note: ``getAlign()`` and ``setAlign()`` methods of ``Paragraph`` style are renamed. - @RomanSyroeshko

 ## 0.12.0 - 3 January 2015
 
 This release added form fields (textinput, checkbox, and dropdown), drawing shapes (arc, curve, line, polyline, rect, oval), and basic 2D chart (pie, doughnut, bar, line, area, scatter, radar) elements along with some new styles. Basic MsDoc reader is introduced.
