[GROOVY-2444] list of string output format changed between 1.5.0 and 1.5.1

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Won't Fix
• Affects Version/s: 1.5.1
• Fix Version/s: 1.5.2
• Environment: Ubuntu 7.10, Groovy r10022

Description

In Groovy 1.5.0 the script:

def x = [ 'hello' ] ; println ( x )

outputs:

["hello"]

In Subversion HEAD r10022 and I assume Groovy 1.5.1, the same scripts outputs:

[hello]

I think this is an erroneous as well as breaking change.
