⛰️ Trailhead

v5.0 - 12 Aug 2026

Added

• Sitemaps generate automatically from your registered routes, no separate route list to maintain
• Added sitemap()->map() to point dynamic routes like /posts/{slug} at real URLs from your data
• Added sitemap()->source() to feed URLs from any datasource with a callback
• Added sitemap()->add() for manual entries, with lastmod, changefreq and priority options
• Added per-route sitemap options right where you define the route
• Generation is skipped when a sitemap file already exists, so hand-managed sitemaps are never overwritten

Fixed

• lastmod only appears when you actually provide one, instead of stamping every URL with the generation time
• Dynamic routes are left out of the sitemap unless you map them to real URLs, so crawlers never see {slug} placeholders
• XML output is properly escaped
• Fixed sitemap config resolution

Changed

• Sitemap now requires PHP 8.2+ and Leaf 5, generating through the router's hook system
• First stable release: sitemap graduates from beta with a full test suite run through Alchemy
