normalize-path normalizes file path slashes to be posix/unix-like forward slashes, also condensing repeated slashes and removing trailing slashes by default. It is useful when you want consistent path formatting across platforms, and it is referenced as being used by tools like chokidar and anymatch.

3.0.0
4/19/2018No release notes were provided for version 3.0.0, so the documented change list is unavailable. The code diff shows a reimplementation of the core path normalization logic (index.js), plus doc and test updates focused on Windows (win32) namespace handling and edge cases like single-slash inputs.
Features2.1.1
3/29/2017Release 2.1.1 updates normalize-path to a new implementation and modernizes the repository setup (docs, linting, CI config, benchmarks, and tests). The functional code change is concentrated in index.js, which now delegates trailing separator handling to a new dependency.
