simple_sitemap 4.0.1

4.x is a major rewrite of the module. It makes greater use of Drupal's entity API dropping some of its very specific chaining API. See #3219383: Roadmap for 4.x.

I encourage everyone to use this over 3.x. If you rely on the deprecated 3.x API, you may need to adjust a couple of method calls. See readme for basic API usage instructions and check out code documentation. New features are only coming to 4.x.

Upgrade path

Upgrade path from 3.x and 2.x for regular users is available.

If you have extended this module by using its API, you will most probably have to adapt that functionality to the new (cleaner) API. If you are using 3rd party contributed simple_sitemap submodules, you may find they are not ported to 4.x yet and will stop working. In this case, please open up issues in the respective queues.
