## Changelog

### 1.0 (2026-10-30)

- First release: sitemap discovery through robots.txt and common paths, nested sitemap indexes, gzip, text sitemaps and RSS/Atom feeds.
- Section inputs such as `wordpress.org/news`: the section's own sitemap is preferred and only URLs under that path are kept.
- Image, video, hreflang and Google News fields per URL.
- New, updated and removed pages between runs per website and tracking key; removals only when the full sitemap was read.
- Build-time lastmod stamps shared by every URL in a file are detected and ignored, so they do not flag every page as updated.
- Optional HTTP status check with redirect chain, X-Robots-Tag and response time.
- Summary mode with a sitemap health report and SEO issue codes.
- robots.txt is honoured; websites without a sitemap, unreachable websites and invalid input are free.
