+* `middleware::NormalizePath` can now also be configured to trim trailing slashes instead of always keeping one.
+  It will need `middleware::normalize::TrailingSlash` when being constructed with `NormalizePath::new(...)`,
+  or for an easier migration you can replace `wrap(middleware::NormalizePath)` with `wrap(middleware::NormalizePath::default())`.

 ## 2.0.0
 
 * `HttpServer::start()` renamed to `HttpServer::run()`. It also possible to
