It's a beta since Sitemap support is not well tested, and I would like to add gz compression support before declaring it stable. Our Sitemap implementation has a few interesting features:

• the "home" Sitemap lists URLs for all categories, archives, and the latest

  posts_per_rss

  posts

• each category and each archive has its own Sitemap, listing itself and all its posts

• a SiteIndex lists all the available Sitemap

• the

  lastmod

  element is set to the date of the last post for categories and for the current month in archives, and for the last day of the month in old archives

• Last-Modified/Etag support, since it shares our feed serving code

1.0.6b can be downloaded from the usual place, where you can also find its ChangeLog (also copied below). After having written this post, I noticed a couple of bugs in feed.php, which you can patch by applying this small patch to 1.0.6b if you do not want to wait for 1.0.6 final. [tag: sitemap]

Update After modifying the root element in the templates according to Google Sitemap Help, both our sitemap and sitemap index validate.

• a proper archives permalink and a general cleanup of archives-related code

• archives list rendered with the faster parseBlock() Template method

• a new template variable

  post_comments

  , set to 'comment' when there's 1 comment, 'comments' when there are 0 or more than 1 comments

• comment insertion moved to Frontend, with a hook to attach different spam checking plugins

As usual, you can download 1.0.5 from the project filelist, or read its ChangeLog (also copied below for convenience).

Included with this release is also a copy of Jerome's PreFormatted LightPress plugin, to use in conjunction with his WP Preformatted plugin.

As usual, you can download 1.0.4 from the project filelist, or read its ChangeLog (also copied below for convenience).

We don't expect a new release for the next week or so unless something serious comes up, as we will start to merge our development branches to the trunk, and take some vacation time.

As usual, you can download 1.0.3 from the project filelist, or read its ChangeLog (also copied below for convenience). Jerome has also produced a set of upgrade packages from earlier versions of LighPress.

Since it's already pretty late here, the release will delayed until tomorrow (Italian time), unless Jerome has the time to do it.

1.0.3 fixes a pretty serious (for the page layout and content displayed) bug, improves the integration of Jerome's latest AdminOptions plugin, and adds a new Delicious plugin which you can see in action on my blog.

As usual, you can download 1.0.2 from the project filelist, or read its ChangeLog. If there are no serious bugs, we will merge our dev branches to the trunk today or tomorrow, and release the first 1.1 unstable.

You can download 1.0.1 from the project filelist, or read its ChangeLog. In the next few days we are going to merge our development branches to the trunk, and release the first 1.1.0 unstable release with lots of new features. We will also post a daily summary from our Basecamp project site to keep you informed of what's going on behind the scenes.

We are already busy working on the next unstable, which will feature many improvements: a tighter integration with WP and its admin console, user-defined contexts, and a revised plugin system which will greatly simplify adapting content to the current context. Stay tuned.
