Notable changes since 3.x

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.

3.x is now unsupported, so do use 4.x. If you still rely on the 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.

#3256453: Add IndexNow capability to search engine integration

#3245449: Simplify & clean up API
#3219385: Convert sitemap variants to proper configuration entities
#3219386: Convert sitemap types to proper configuration entities
#3220168: Improve decoupling of storage
#3219388: Decoupling of custom link & entity URL generating functionality

#3269333: Add ability to disable sitemap variants
#3265009: Add support for Drupal 10

#3152961: Image support for Paragraphs & Media

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.
