4SEO version 1.5.0

Hello,

We're pleased to announce the release of 4SEO version 1.5.0. This is a feature release with multiple additions, changes and bug fixes.

Here are the highlights:

  • Added support for Virtuemart canonicalization, sitemap inclusion and image detection

  • Added Italian translation by Guido Tedaldi

  • Hikashop structured data now includes textual reviews present on the page if they have an author and a rating
  • Now showing manual site analysis progress in the browser tab title, to easily view progress when one navigates away during analysis
  • Added stylesheet to sitemaps files for easier viewing and navigation in a browser

  • Cannot enter a domain with a dash (-) when listing domains excluded from analysis
  • XML sitemap may have invalid characters in them, preventing parsing by browser
  • Hikashop built-in structured data are not output on Joomla 4
