Breaking changes URL matching in 1.4.1

[esterTion]

This seems to come from #463 .
Before the new version, @match http://example.com/path/ will match with http://example/path/?query. After the new version, it doesn't match url with query anymore. The match pattern is required to be @match http://example.com/path/*

I personally use ViolentMonkey in Firefox on my PC, and this extension on my iOS device. Before 1.4.1, url matching works the same on two platforms. Now two extensions have different url matching.
I haven't checked with other user script manager on PC platform regarding this url matching issue.

We implement the @match metadata with reference to Match patterns in extension manifests, rather than different custom implementations of each extension.

As you can see, your use case is fully explained in that documentation note. You can refer to the documentation to write your metadata values. That is, if you need to match the path /path/ exactly (without path like /path/subpath/). You will need two @match lines:

@match http://example.com/path/
@match http://example.com/path/?*

Apart from implementing this metadata as per the documentation, we will not add other custom syntax to cause more confusion. Hope you can understand.

P.S. @esterTion a familiar name. I used to use an extension you made years ago and it's an honor to meet you here. Thank you.

I just tried TamperMonkey and GreaseMonkey, both don't actually support matching /path/?query on @match rule without *.

So, I guess this is now a ViolentMonkey's bug then, since they are the only one supporting this behaviour.
