 ## Special Thanks
-This repo goes out to my past and present colleagues at Arundo - who have brought me such inspiration, fun, 
-and drive over the last couple years.  In particular, the absurd brevity of this code is thanks to a 
-clever [abuse] of `Proxy`, courtesy of the brilliant [@mvasigh](https://github.com/mvasigh).

 ## Changelog
 Until this library makes it to a production release of v1.x, **minor versions may contain breaking changes to the API**.  After v1.x, semantic versioning will be honored, and breaking changes will only occur under the umbrella of a major version bump.
 
+- **v1.1.0** - feature: added single option `{ base: '/some/path' }` to `Router` for route prefixing, fix: trailing wildcard issue (e.g. `/foo/*` should match `/foo`)
 - **v1.0.0** - production release, stamped into gold from x0.9.7
 - **v0.9.0** - added support for multiple handlers (middleware)
 - **v0.8.0** - deep minification pass and build steps for final module
