1.0.3

• This release is dedicated to removing options and setting defaults instead. Specifically, the following settings are now defaults without options to change them:
  • Images are now always included in the XML sitemap as Bing no longer breaks on them.
  • Pinging Google and Bing is now a default action as that's the whole point of having XML sitemaps.
  • RSS feeds are now always noindex, followed. No search engine should ever list an RSS feed as a result in the resultpages.
  • Admin, login and registration pages are always noindexed now for the same reason.
  • Search result pages are now always noindex, follow.
  • Subpages of the homepage are now also noindex, follow. It just doesn't make sense to index,follow those especially with the new rel="prev" and rel="next" changes.
• The option to add nosnippet and noarchive meta tags sitewide has been removed. No one in his right mind would want to do that, and if you do, then adding the robots meta to your template yourself should be doable.
• Pinging search engines with your RSS feed is no longer part of this plugin (as its unneeded because the XML sitemaps do that).
• UTF-8 characters in RSS footer no longer break.

• Added rel=prev and rel=next for paginated posts and pages.
• Removed the interface options for all rel= links, they're off by default now.
• Removed the option to hide the version number. It's very easy to detect the version number anyway so let's not clutter the interface.

    • Sitemaps now contains all the last updated posts (under 1,000) of one post type in one new XML sitemap, so SE only has to crawl one sitemap per post type.
    • XML Sitemap Index file is now being pushed into cache if a caching plugin is active (by loading it through a cron job).
    • No longer breaks when get_post_type_archive doesn't exist.
