route().current(name) not working as expected in 2.0.4

[BamButz]

The README says that route().current('events.') should return true when current URI is /events.
After upgrading from 1.8.2 to 2.0.4 this is not true anymore it is returning false now.
If I change the wildcard to route().current('events') it works.

Is this expected? I couldn't find anything regarding this in the Upgrade section.

The argument to current() is the route name, so if your /events route is named events.index it should work. If it's just named events I'm not sure... you're saying that worked fine in v1 and doesn't in v2?

Oh okay, that would not be the problem for me to change the route name and yes it actually worked in v1.
