I had no idea  4.0 was released Oleg, so I just bought a copy, thanks so much!.

I know existing customers get it free, but I feel you should  be charging for all major Version upate's,  so I paid anyhow.

I like to paying for software/scripts are  excellent.  Its such a pleasure using stuff that JUST WORKS. And your continued great support in your Forums is unsurpassed.

$19 is WAY TO CHEAP for this great script.... I'd pay a lot more if you charged it! You are welcome to use this testimonial on your website if you wish.

 >canonical URLs meta tags are supported

what does it mean in detail when checkbox is activated.
do you exclude urls which have a canonical url in the header in sitemap file?
there is no information about "canonical url" in the configuration helpfile.

Love this generator.  Any idea when it will also add video?  Or will you have a separate video sitemap generator?  I haven't found any generator out there for video that isn't mostly manual or buggy.

Hello,

sitemap generator will index the pageURL that is specified in canonical meta tag and will NOT include in sitemap URL if it doesn't match the canonical tag.
You can find out more details here: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/02/specify-your-canonical.html
