Hi,
while investigating the history of Bug 17883 (I thought that the stuff
hadn't worked in 1.4.1 either, I was wrong) I realized that this build
file
<project default="seq">
<target name="seq">
<sequential>
<property name="foo" value="bar"/>
<echo>${foo}</echo>
</sequential>
</target>
</project>
will print
seq:
[echo] ${foo}
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
with CVS HEAD.
You get bar instead of ${foo} with Ant 1.4 up to 1.5.2 (or HEAD of the
1.5 branch for that matter).
I could commit a testcase to proof this, but wanted to state the
problem here before we get the same Gump test failure mail for weeks.
