About a week ago the Google Sitemap team posted a long interview on their blog which discusses the future of sitemaps. It also talks about some features and common problems. You can check it out here;

Google Sitemap Team Interview

Its been a long few months since the first release of RAGE Google Sitemap Automator. We just released version 1.1 and its a whole lot faster as previously mentioned. If you have an older version, or downloaded one of the betas, you’ve got to update to the final 1.1 release.

It fixes a lot of issues, even since the last beta was sent out. So if you don’t already have it you can download it here;

The update is free for registered users. Otherwise you can download the demo and try it out on your site.

We have a lot of new features planned for future versions. If you have any requests, just post it on the RAGE Discussions forum or send us an email.

 

 

Finally, the crash has been fixed and was due to an underlying memory leak in the database used to store the web pages that were scanned.

We have upgraded to a new database and reworked alot of the code. There will have to be a few more modifications to the underlying DB engine until everything is working smoothly again. I think another round of beta testing is going to be required because of how much was changed.

The new database is supposed to be faster and more stable. We’ll see how it holds out.

Otherwise, the update is looking a lot better. It should be available really soon if no more larger issues come up.

Its been a few months since the initial release of RAGE Google Sitemap Automator. We have an internal beta that has been in testing for a long time now. Its working much faster than version 1.0 and has the ability to open old site files and modify the filters.

The problem is, there’s a crash that occurs after about 1500 unique web pages get scanned. This crash is present in the current version but happens much quicker (maybe around 700 unique web pages).

This is the last problem that is preventing RAGE Google Sitemap Automator 1.1 from being released. So if you have encountered this crash, we are working on a fix. Hopefully a new version will be available really soon. If you want to try the beta version just send an email.
