Upgrading to DW10 and scratching my head as to why some of our Item Types are not working. The broken ones have a list of ItemTypes using:
<editor type="Dynamicweb.Content.Items.Editors.ItemListEditor, Dynamicweb"> this field has been renamed eg. Images_MISSED_TYPE and its type changed to Text.

For example we have a Carousel Item type that has a list of Image Item types and a button Item type

The data remains as previous. I noted in DW9 for field settings the Type Item List is marked as deprecated so I would like to know how we now handle this in DW10.

There seems to be no field selection options for ItemListEditor has this been removed?

the only documentation I could find relating to ItemTypes in DW10 was this: 
https://doc.dynamicweb.dev/documentation/internal/archive/Implementation/ItemTypes.html?q=Items
https://doc.dynamicweb.dev/documentation/implementing/items.html?q=Items

Here is  part of the Carousel Item Type XML, we dont do custom stuff on ItemTypes, we like the database synchronization, Ive omitted irrelevant code:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" standalone="yes"?>
<items>
  <item category="Page Content" name="Carousel" systemName="Carousel" description="Add a Carousel to your page" icon="FileO" iconColor="None" image="" includeInUrlIndex="False" pageDefaultView="item" fieldForTitle="" title="" inherits="">
    <fields>
      <field name="Images_MISSED_TYPE" systemName="Images" description="" type="System.String, System.Private.CoreLib" excludeFromSearch="False" defaultValueCulture="en-GB" defaultValue="System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.String]">
        <editor type="Dynamicweb.Content.Items.Editors.TextEditor, Dynamicweb">
          <editorConfuguration><Parameters addin="Dynamicweb.Content.Items.Editors.TextEditor" /></editorConfuguration>
        </editor>
        <options sourceType="Static">
          <Static>
            <option name="Link" value="Link" icon="" />

As an experiment I changed 

<editor type="Dynamicweb.Content.Items.Editors.TextEditor, Dynamicweb">
          <editorConfuguration><Parameters addin="Dynamicweb.Content.Items.Editors.TextEditor" /></editorConfuguration>
        </editor>

To:

<editor type="Dynamicweb.Content.Items.Editors.ItemRelationListEditor, Dynamicweb">
          <editorConfuguration><Parameters addin="Dynamicweb.Content.Items.Editors.ItemRelationListEditor" /></editorConfuguration>
        </editor>

and all hell broke loose when I saved!!:
