Major changes

[blakeembrey]

• New option! Ability to set endsWith to match paths like /test?query=string up to the query string
• New option! Set delimiters for specific characters to be treated as parameter prefixes (e.g. /:test)
• Remove isarray dependency
• Explicitly handle trailing delimiters instead of trimming them (e.g. /test/ is now treated as /test/ instead of /test when matching)
• Remove overloaded keys argument that accepted options
• Remove keys list attached to the RegExp output
• Remove asterisk functionality (it's a real pain to properly encode)
• Change tokensToFunction (e.g. compile) to accept an encode function for pretty encoding (e.g. pass your own implementation)

How should we handle this feature now?

[blakeembrey]

@oliviertassinari Did you try the README? https://github.com/pillarjs/path-to-regexp#compatibility-with-express--4x. It's been this for a while, I only hacked the asterisk feature into the 1.x releases around 1.2, but realised that making it act like it use used in Express.js is a mistake that needed to be fixed properly for 2.0. The closest behaviour that exists closest to how it should act is currently in another PR.

[oliviertassinari]

Thanks, I was curious, I couldn't find the CHANGELOG. I agree, it's better this way.

[blakeembrey]

There's a history file here: https://github.com/pillarjs/path-to-regexp/blob/master/History.md. I forgot 1.2 was actually so long ago!

[oliviertassinari]

By bad, I don't have the reflex to look for History.md. My first reflex when upgrading a lib is to look into the releases, then the CHANGELOG.md. I will also look for this file now. I haven't realized it's a convention in the express world.

[blakeembrey]

No problem. I believe it's mostly convention from the people who created the projects initially. In every other projects I use releases also 😄
