[1.9.0] - 2022-10-25

Added

[1.8.6] - 2022-10-24

Fixed

• Some users may be using the action on a self-hosted runner not yet updated to a version supporting the
  new GitHub Actions GITHUB_OUTPUT environment file. This patch adds backwards compatibility for those
  users (e.g., it falls back to using the deprecated set-output if GITHUB_OUTPUT doesn't exist).

Dependencies

• Bump cicirello/pyaction from 4.11.0 to 4.11.1

[1.8.5] - 2022-10-20

Fixed

• Replaced the usage of GitHub Action's deprecated set-output with the new $GITHUB_OUTPUT env file.
• Handle alternate casing of boolean inputs in GitHub workflow YAML files (previously expected lowercase).
• Refactored entrypoint for improved maintainability, and ease of planned new functionality.

Dependencies

• Bumped pyaction from 4.7.0 to 4.11.0, which includes upgrading Python in the Docker container to 3.10.7.

[1.8.4] - 2022-08-03

Changed

• Refactored index.html dropping logic to ease support for additional dropped index filenames.

Fixed

• Checks .shtml files for noindex directives, excluding those that have it from the sitemap (@TravisBrace in https://github.com/cicirello/generate-sitemap/pull/50).
• Added index.shtml to set of index filenames that are dropped from URLs in sitemap.

Dependencies

• Bumped base docker image cicirello/pyaction from 4.3.1 to 4.7.0.

New Contributors

• @TravisBrace made their first contribution in https://github.com/cicirello/generate-sitemap/pull/50

[1.8.3] - 2022-04-22

Fixed

• Corrected check for robots noindex directive in case when non-utf8 characters present in an html file.
• Disabled pycache to protect against potential future bug. Currently no imports so no pycache created, but if future versions import local py modules, a pycache would be created during run in repo. Disabled creation of pycache now to avoid.

Dependencies

• Bumped base Docker image cicirello/pyaction from 4.2.0 to 4.3.1.

[1.8.2] - 2022-03-04

Changed

• Bumped Python to 3.10.
• Bumped base Docker image to pyaction 4.2.0.
• Now pulls base Docker image from the GitHub Container Registry rather
  than Docker Hub under the assumption that pulling from GitHub from
  GitHub Actions is likely faster than from Docker Hub.

[1.8.1] - 2021-07-29

Changed

• Upgraded base docker image to cicirello/pyaction:4.

[1.8.0] - 2021-06-28

Added

• Added option to exclude .html from URLs listed in the sitemap
  for html files. GitHub Pages automatically serves a corresponding
  html file if a user browses to a page with a URL with no file extension.
  This new option to the generate-sitemap action enables your sitemap to
  match this behavior if you prefer the extension-less look of URLs. There
  is a new action input, drop-html-extension, to control this behavior.

Changed

• Use major release tag when pulling base docker image (e.g.,
  automatically get non-breaking changes to base image, such as
  bug fixes, etc without need to update Dockerfile).

[1.7.2] - 2021-05-13

Changed

• Switched tag used to pull base Docker image from latest to the
  specific release that is the current latest, to enable testing
  against base image updates prior to releases. This is a purely
  non-functional change.

Fixed

• Bug involving missing lastmod dates for website files created by
  the workflow, but not yet committed. These are now set using the
  current date and time.

[1.7.1] - 2021-05-06

Changed

• Refactored to improve code maintainability.

CI/CD

• Introduced major version tag.

[1.7.0] - 2021-4-26

Added

• New action input, additional-extensions, that enables adding
  other indexable file types to the sitemap.

CI/CD

• Enabled CodeQL code scanning on all push/pull-request events.

[1.6.2] - 2021-3-10

Changed

• Improved the documentation (otherwise, this release is
  functionally equivalent to the previous release).

[1.6.1] - 2020-9-24

Fixed

• Bug in generating URL for files with names ending in "index.html" but not exactly equal to "index.html", such as "aindex.html". Previous version would incorrectly truncate this to just "a", dropping the "index.html". This version now correctly identifies "index.html" files.

[1.6.0] - 2020-9-21

Added

• Support for robots.txt: In addition to the previous functionality of excluding html URL's that contain <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> directives, the generate-sitemap GitHub action now parses a robots.txt file, if present at the root of the website, excluding any URLs from the sitemap that match Disallow: rules for User-agent: *.

generate-sitemap, v1.5.0

This action generates a sitemap for a website hosted on GitHub Pages. It supports both xml and txt sitemaps. When generating an xml sitemap, it uses the last commit date of each file to generate the <lastmod> tag in the sitemap entry. It can include html as well as pdf files in the sitemap, and has inputs to control the included file types (defaults include both html and pdf files in the sitemap). It skips html files that contain <meta name="robots" content="noindex">. It otherwise does not currently attempt to respect a robots.txt file. The sitemap entries are sorted in a consistent order (primary sort is by depth of page in site, and URLs at same depth are then sorted alphabetically).

[1.5.0] - 2020-9-14

Changed

• Minor refactoring of python, and optimized action load time by using a prebuilt base docker image that includes exactly what is needed (git and python).

generate-sitemap, v1.4.0

This action generates a sitemap for a website hosted on GitHub Pages. It supports both xml and txt sitemaps. When generating an xml sitemap, it uses the last commit date of each file to generate the <lastmod> tag in the sitemap entry. It can include html as well as pdf files in the sitemap, and has inputs to control the included file types (defaults include both html and pdf files in the sitemap). It skips over html files that contain <meta name="robots" content="noindex">. It otherwise does not currently attempt to respect a robots.txt file. The sitemap entries are sorted in a consistent order (primary sort is by depth of page in site, and URLs at same depth are then sorted alphabetically).

[1.4.0] - 2020-9-11

Changed

• Completely re-implemented in Python to enable more easily adding planned future functionality.
