Changes for version 0.15 - 2026-08-17
- A trailing slash on the request path no longer 404s: GET /account/ answers the route declared as GET /account. The retry runs only after every declared route, API operation and mount has missed, so nothing that already matched changes
- a *splat still captures its trailing slash, and a mounted app is still handed the path it was sent, since only it knows whether /docs and /docs/ differ. Repeated slashes collapse, and "/" is left alone. A trimmed path that matches a different method still answers 405 with its Allow list.
