From 51551a0a5bd6f7e4116bc3759a4d7c15634643dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Prem Sichanugrist Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:59:24 +0700 Subject: Update the wildcard route to be non-greedy by default, therefore be able to match the (.:format) segment [#6605 state:resolved] After some discussion with Andrew White, it seems like this is a better approach for handling a wildcard route. However, user can still bring back the old behavior by supplying `:format => false` to the route.
