 Be sure to add `.col-form-label` to your `<label>`s as well so they're vertically centered with their associated form controls. For `<legend>` elements, you can use `.col-form-legend` to make them appear similar to regular `<label>` elements.

 - Responsive tables now generate classes for each grid breakpoint. This breaks from Beta 1 in that the `.table-responsive` you've been using is more like `.table-responsive-md`. You may now use `.table-responsive` or `.table-responsive-{sm,md,lg,xl}` as needed.
 - Dropped Bower support as the package manager has been deprecated for alternatives (e.g., Yarn or npm). [See bower/bower#2298](https://github.com/bower/bower/issues/2298) for details.
 - Bootstrap now requires jQuery 3.0.0 or higher.
+- Removed the unused `.form-control-label` class. If you did make use of this class, it was duplicate of the `.col-form-label` class that vertically centered a `<label>` with it's associated input in horizontal form layouts.
 - Changed the `color-yiq` from a mixin that included the `color` property to a function that returns a value, allowing you to use it for any CSS property. For example, instead of `color-yiq(#000)`, you'd write `color: color-yiq(#000);`.

 - Horizontal forms overhauled:
   - Dropped the `.form-horizontal` class requirement.
   - `.form-group` no longer applies styles from the `.row` via mixin, so `.row` is now required for horizontal grid layouts (e.g., `<div class="form-group row">`).

+  - Added new `.col-form-label` class to vertically center labels with `.form-control`s.
   - Added new `.form-row` for compact form layouts with the grid classes (swap your `.row` for a `.form-row` and go).
 - Added custom forms support (for checkboxes, radios, selects, and file inputs).
 - Replaced `.has-error`, `.has-warning`, and `.has-success` classes with HTML5 form validation via CSS's `:invalid` and `:valid` pseudo-classes.
