Sourced from sitemap's releases.

9.0.0

This major release modernizes the package with ESM-first architecture, drops support for Node.js < 20, and includes comprehensive security and robustness improvements.

[BREAKING CHANGES]

Dropped Node.js < 20 Support

• Node.js >=20.19.5 now required (previously >=14.0.0)
• npm >=10.8.2 now required (previously >=6.0.0)
• Dropped support for Node.js 14, 16, and 18

ESM Conversion with Dual Package Support

• Package now uses "type": "module" in package.json

• Built as dual ESM/CJS package with conditional exports

• Import paths in ESM require .js extensions (TypeScript will add these automatically)

• Both ESM and CommonJS imports continue to work:

  // ESM (new default)
  import { SitemapStream } from 'sitemap'
  // CommonJS (still supported)
  const { SitemapStream } = require('sitemap')

• CLI remains ESM-only at dist/esm/cli.js

Build Output Changes

• ESM output: dist/esm/ (was dist/)
• CJS output: dist/cjs/ (new)
• TypeScript definitions: dist/esm/index.d.ts (was dist/index.d.ts)

Node.js Modernization

• All built-in Node.js modules now use node: protocol imports (node:stream, node:fs, etc.)
• Uses native promise-based pipeline from node:stream/promises (instead of promisify(pipeline))
• TypeScript target updated to ES2023 (from ES2022)

New Exports

The following validation functions and constants are now part of the public API:

Validation Functions (from lib/validation.js):

• validateURL(), validatePath(), validateLimit(), validatePublicBasePath(), validateXSLUrl()
• Type guards: isPriceType(), isResolution(), isValidChangeFreq(), isValidYesNo(), isAllowDeny()
• validators - object containing regex validators for all sitemap fields

... (truncated)
