• Redesigned Sitemaps page. When connected to Google Search console, now shows details of sitemaps registered with Google, including pages and images submitted

Here are the highlights:

• Default value for Disregard case when creating any type of rule is now Yes
• Accept more than one URL in sitemaps for the same content id. Allows use manual override to include several pages for the same canonical content
• Do not URL-encode URL reserved characters when adding them to sitemaps, as they are sometimes used as is in URLs
• Now defaulting to not checking Joomla com_redirect before triggering a 404 on Joomla 3, as this prevents error pages to operate. Can use corresponding filter to enable back if needed.

• Background cron trigger pixel image URL changed to avoid collisions with actual words that may trigger security systems
• Better cleanup of com_tags non-sef URLs when creating a page content id for canonical identification
