XText 2.9 and single quotes [message #1715533]

Hello everyone,

I'm having a small problem with xtext 2.9 and single quotes. The file I want to describe looks like this:

	(MyElement
		(name 'foobar'))

My Xtext grammar:

MYElement:
	'(MyElement'
	'(' 'name' value=MYSTRING ')'
	')';

terminal MYSTRING:
	("'"->"'")*;

This was working as expected until Xtext 2.8.4 and name had the value foobar. However when updating to xtext 2.9 name now has the value 'foobar' (with the single quotes). Which changes in xtext causes this new behaviour? Is this a bug or do I have to adopt my grammar?

Thanks in advance.
