path-to-regexp/History.md

# Moved to [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/pillarjs/path-to-regexp/releases)

## 3.0.0 / 2019-01-13

- Always use prefix character as delimiter token, allowing any character to be a delimiter (e.g. `/:att1-:att2-:att3-:att4-:att5`)
- Remove `partial` support, prefer escaping the prefix delimiter explicitly (e.g. `\\/(apple-)?icon-:res(\\d+).png`)

## 2.4.0 / 2018-08-26

- Support `start` option to disable anchoring from beginning of the string

## 2.3.0 / 2018-08-20

- Use `delimiter` when processing repeated matching groups (e.g. `foo/bar` has no prefix, but has a delimiter)

## 2.2.1 / 2018-04-24

- Allow empty string with `end: false` to match both relative and absolute paths

## 2.2.0 / 2018-03-06

- Pass `token` as second argument to `encode` option (e.g. `encode(value, token)`)

## 2.1.0 / 2017-10-20

- Handle non-ending paths where the final character is a delimiter
  - E.g. `/foo/` before required either `/foo/` or `/foo//` to match in non-ending mode

## 2.0.0 / 2017-08-23

- 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)

## 1.7.0 / 2016-11-08

- Allow a `delimiter` option to be passed in with `tokensToRegExp` which will be used for "non-ending" token match situations

## 1.6.0 / 2016-10-03

- Populate `RegExp.keys` when using the `tokensToRegExp` method (making it consistent with the main export)

- Updated TypeScript definition with `Keys` and `Options` updated
