> The Conversion improvements associated with BEANUTILS-258 potentially create
> compatibility issues - this was highlighted by Betwixt's tests failing
> recently in the gump run - see http://tinyurl.com/2mxbv8 for more details.
> Quite a bit of effort has been put into making the new conversion facilities
> as painless as possible for existing users. However it is not fully backwards
> compatible in terms of behaviour (stiil binary compatible). Need to give this
> some consideration before a BeanUtils release - at the moment there are two
> options on the table (more welcome!):
> 1) The compatibility as it stands is good enough (covers most cases) - so do
> nothing
> 2) Provide a "compatibility option" - so that users can choose either the new
> behaviour or behaviour compatible with BeanUtils 1.7.0. This probably
> involves quite a bit of work - adding back the old behaviour alongside the new
