index_now 4.0.0-alpha1

4.0.0-alpha1

This is the first alpha release of the 4.0 branch. It introduces a major
architectural overhaul. Do not use on production. Feedback
and bug reports are welcome.

Breaking changes

• Content type indexing has been moved out of the main
  index_now module into dedicated sub-modules. You must enable
  the sub-modules you need:
  • index_now_node — nodes
  • index_now_taxonomy — taxonomy terms
  • index_now_commerce_product — Drupal Commerce products
  • index_now_commerce_store — Drupal Commerce stores
• The index_now_commerce module is deprecated and blocked from
  new installs. Existing installations must migrate — see the upgrade path
  below.
• The API key override setting has changed from
  $config['index_now.settings']['api_key'] to
  $settings['index_now']['api_key'].

New features

• Added hook_index_now_url_alter(string &$url, array $context)
  to allow modules to alter the URL submitted to search engines. The
  $context array exposes the entity that triggered the ping
  (when available), enabling complex URL transformations for headless CMS
  setups.
• Added hook_index_now_key_location_url_alter(string &$key_location)
  to allow modules to alter the API key verification file URL.
• Added $settings['index_now.base_url'] to submit URLs under
  a custom domain (headless CMS use case).
• Drupal 12 compatibility.

Upgrade path from 3.x

See the UPGRADE PATH section of the README for the full step-by-step
procedure. In summary:

1. Enable the sub-modules you need before running database updates.
2. Run drush updatedb to migrate existing configuration.
3. Uninstall index_now_commerce if it was enabled.
4. Export your configuration.

Known limitations

• The index_now_commerce_product and
  index_now_commerce_store sub-modules have not yet been tested
  on Drupal 12, pending Drupal Commerce compatibility.
