+The next release will see a departure from the usual packaging strategy.
+Rather than just a single jar, BeanUtils will distribute a
+<code>commons-beanutils-core.jar</code> containing the essential parts of BeanUtils
+with minimal dependencies (for this release just
+<a href='http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging'>Commons Logging</a>).
+Other parts of BeanUtils (typically specialized modules) will be distributed as separate,
+modular jars with additional dependencies. Hopefully this will allow library and framework
+creators more finely grained control over their dependencies. It should also help with
+compatibility issues.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+For everyone else, don't worry :) There will be a single commons-beanutils-all.jar
+containing everything. Drop it in and add any dependencies your application needs.

+ <subsection name='Bean Collections'>
+ <p>
+Bean collections is a library combining BeanUtils with
+<a href='http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/collections'>Commons Collections</a>
+to provide services for collections of beans. Once class (<code>BeanComparator</code>)
+was previously released, the rest are new. This new distribution strategy should allow
+this sub-component to evolve naturally without the concerns about size and scope
+that might otherwise happen.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+Bean Collections has an additional dependency on
+<a href='http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/collections'>Commons Collections</a>.
