Routes and the leading slash

[Marcin Kasperski]

Well, something has changed.

Not so long ago, I used to write my routes as

map.connect(':controller/:action')

now such a route fails to match due to the lack of leading slash. OK.
I was already told to visit http://pylonshq.com/docs/en/0.9.7/configuration/#url-configuration

But ... I would really recommend adding a note about this change to
"What's new in Pylons 0.9.7"

http://wiki.pylonshq.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=11174779

(which, even worse, shows the old syntax in the section about
Routes).

Warning about missing leading slash could also make some sense....

What version of Routes do you have installed?

This wasn't the case when that documentation was written.

It definitely does not requires the leading slash in Routes-1.10

the release log for routes is:

Version 1.11 (2009-09-28)
Version 1.10 (2008-11-24)

OK, I was not sure, someone on IRC suggested that the change was
introduced in 0.9.7. Still, it deserves some warning, I just spent
a few hours trying to debug what is going on ;-)
