OSMap is the way to create a sitemap in Joomla. It allows you to create a sitemap so that search engines can find your content.
OSMap Pro also allows you to make Google ignore content included in your sitemap. If you have a menu item or article set to "No index, no follow", Google bots won't crawl and won't index that link.

Updates and Bug-fixes for mid-May 2016
- Written by Steve Burge Steve Burge
- Published: 17 May 2016 17 May 2016

In the last few days, we've released new versions of all extensions.
One important change is that we don't support Joomla 2.5 anymore. These latest extension releases won't install in older Joomla versions and won't be seen by Joomla 2.5 users trying to update. Joomla 3 is the minimum requiremed version. If you still need a Joomla 2.5 version of extensions, please contact us.
Also, we've added support for Watchful, which allows you to manage many Joomla sites from one dashboard. Watchfull will soon add Alledia support. If you enter your Alledia Pro License Key into Watchful, you will be able update all Alledia Pro extensions.
In addiiton to those general changes for all extensions, here are some specific changes:
Joomlashack No Longer Supports Joomla 2.5
- Published: 13 May 2016 13 May 2016
Today is a day that has been coming for a long time. We are saying goodbye to Joomla 2.5.
Joomla 2.5 reached end-of-life in December 2014. The JED removed Joomla 2.5 listings in June 2015. Now, in May 2016, it is time for us to move on.
We have hung on for longer than many other extension developers, but after this week we will not support Joomla 2.5.
If you are using our extensions on a Joomla 2.5 site, they will continue to work. However, we will not fix bugs and you will no longer see new updates.
Onward, with Joomla 3!
