Description: 

Drupal now ignores successive slashes in incoming URLs. This is the same behavior as Drupal 7.

Practically, this means empty URL path parts are ignored when matching paths.

Before

https://yourdrupalsite.example.com/some/////path was invalid.

After

https://yourdrupalsite.example.com/some/////path is valid and matches /some/path
