 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-02-17 - 3.43.0 - feat(dees-form)
+add layout styles to dees-form and standardize demo input grouping
+
+- Add static CSS to dees-form: default column layout with gap and support for [horizontal-layout] (row wrapping, alignment and gap).
+- Remove inline <style> from dees-form render to centralize styling.
+- Simplify dees-input-base styles by removing host margins and making spacing container-driven.
+- Update multiple demo files to wrap related inputs in a new .input-group container and include .input-group CSS for consistent vertical spacing.
+
 ## 2026-02-16 - 3.42.2 - fix(dees-chart-area)
 add ApexAxisChartSeries type to dees-chart-area component to improve typing for ApexCharts series data
