11.0

• Match each path portion with Matcher from @isaacs/nonrecursive-glob-match, in place of a RegExp. Items in Minimatch.set are now strings, Matcher objects, or GLOBSTAR.
• Remove makeRe(), Minimatch#regexp, and the MMRegExp type.
• Remove the AST class.
• Remove the maxExtglobRecursion option.
• An empty path portion, such as the last one in a/b/, only matches an empty pattern portion. So a/b/ no longer matches a/b/?(x) or a/b/*(x), the same as a/b/*.
• Add the normalize option, to normalize unicode in the pattern and in each portion of the tested path.
• Remove the debug option and the debug() method.
• Remove the matchOne(), slashSplit(), and levelTwoFileOptimize() methods. They are internal now.
• Fix patterns with more than one ** and sections of different lengths between them, such as **/a/b/c/**/d/**, which failed to match some paths since 10.2.3.
• Fix partial matching of patterns with **, which since 10.2.3 matched some paths under a dot portion that ** can not walk, and did not match some paths that end in the pattern's last portion.
• partial matching of patterns with many ** no longer takes exponential time.
• On Windows, a .. no longer removes the drive letter, or the host and share of a UNC path, at the start of a pattern or (at optimization level 2) a path. So C:/a/../../x no longer matches x or /x.
• On Windows, compare the host and share of UNC paths like //host/share/... case-insensitively, the same as drive letters.
• On Windows, long UNC paths like //?/UNC/host/share/... match //host/share/... and vice versa, the same as //?/c:/... and c:/....
• At optimization level 2, stop splitting **/.. portions once there are braceExpandMax patterns, and do not dedupe sets of more than 1000 patterns. Before, a short pattern could take minutes to compile.
• minimatch() keeps the 256 Minimatch objects that it used most recently, so it does not compile the same pattern again.
• Faster to compile brace patterns that make rows that are merged, such as **/*.{png,jpg,gif}, because the Matchers for the rows that are merged are not made.
