 - Deprecate LocaleBeanUtils.LocaleBeanUtils().
 - Deprecate LocaleConvertUtils.LocaleConvertUtils().
 - Deprecate ConvertUtils.ConvertUtils().

 Includes changes from 1.10.0:

 * Fixed Bugs:

 - BEANUTILS-541: FluentPropertyBeanIntrospector caches corrupted writeMethod (1.x backport) #69.

 Update to 1.9.4:

 * BEANUTILS-520: BeanUtils mitigate CVE-2014-0114

 Updated to 1.9.3:

 * This is a bug fix release, which also improves the tests for building on Java 8.
 * Note that Java 8 and later no longer support indexed bean properties on java.util.List, only on arrays like String[].
 (BEANUTILS-492). This affects PropertyUtils.getPropertyType() and PropertyUtils.getPropertyDescriptor(); their javadoc have therefore been updated to reflect this change in the JDK.

 * BEANUTILS-477: Changed log level in FluentPropertyBeanIntrospector
 * BEANUTILS-492: Fixed exception when setting indexed properties on DynaBeans.

 * BEANUTILS-482: Update commons-collections from 3.2.1 to 3.2.2 (CVE-2015-4852).
 * BEANUTILS-490: Update java requirement to Java 6.
 * BEANUTILS-492: IndexedPropertyDescriptor tests now pass on Java 8.
