Open Sitemap Generator 0.6 released


The version 0.6 is out!
In this new version we’re using the great db4o technology to store all the retrieved URLs.
At the moment it’s only a temporary database that is deleted at the crawling’s end, but this will enable us to add a sitemaps management in a future version.
So the main new features are: splitting big sitemaps and using an index file, added an option to ignore html comments, also an installer version (this software is still fully portable).
All the news about this version and a download link are available at the OSG home page.

Sitemaps.org updated

The sitemaps site was not updated since November 2006, but it has been updated today, as announced on the Official Google Webmaster Central Blog.
Now the site is available in 18 languages, and the protocol has been updated to let the webmaster add the location of the sitemap in the robot.txt file!
Also, Ask.com is now supporting the sitemaps protocol.
Nothing new at the moment for the development of our Open Sitemap Generator, but we look forward for more news in the near future (and maybe our inclusion in the Google sitemaps third party tools page).
