The main reason there hasn't been a BeanUtils 1.8.0 release is because a memory leak issue was raised that I haven't had the time or inclination to look at yet. Having said that the same issue exists in BeanUtils 1.7.0 so IMO upgrading to BeanUtils 1.8.0-BETA is a good idea and I've been using it in a live environment since it was released.
