QDir::match(...) behavior difference in 5.12.0 wrt 5.11.2

There are some changes done in QDir::match() function in 5.12 due to which wildcards do not match across path separators

QDir::match("*.txt", "C:/Users/shmitt/Desktop/foo.txt"),
return true for 5.11.2 
false for 5.12.0 and 5.12.1

I think this is regression of change-ID I095959443ac7362f7534e35454eff038061fca82
If this is an intentional change, it should be documented somewhere.
