History

4.1.0

Private API changed to separate context parameter decoration from route matching. Router#match and Route#match are now pure functions that return an array of routes that match the URL path.

For modules using this private API that need to determine if a method and path match a route, route.methods must be checked against the routes returned from router.match():

var matchedRoute = router.match(path).filter(function (route) {
  return ~route.methods.indexOf(method);
}).shift();

4.0.0

405, 501, and OPTIONS response handling was moved into separate middleware router.allowedMethods(). This resolves incorrect 501 or 405 responses when using multiple routers.

Breaking changes

4.x is mostly backwards compatible with 3.x, except for the following:

• Instantiating a router with new and app returns the router instance, whereas 3.x returns the router middleware. When creating a router in 4.x, the only time router middleware is returned is when creating using the Router(app) signature (with app and without new).
