sitemap 8.x-2.5

This release cleans up configuration for a legacy feature: the Syndicate (sitemap) block, a feature which was carried over from the site_map module, but never fully implemented for Drupal 8+. See the comments in [#3545794] for more details. To avoid breaking backwards compatibility, the Syndicate (sitemap) block code has been deprecated for removal in sitemap-3.0.0.

Upgrade instructions

This release contains two database updates which modify configuration. If you are using Configuration Management, then you will need to run the database update and then immediately export configuration (otherwise you may get an error). We suggest the following workflow:

1. On your local environment:
   1. Run composer update -w drupal/sitemap to update the sitemap module's code
   2. Run drush updatedb or update.php to run database updates
   3. Run drush config:export or export config from the UI to capture the configuration changes made by the post-update hooks
   4. Commit the changes to configuration and composer.lock
   5. Push your new commit
2. Afterwards, on other copies of the site:
   1. Pull the new commit
   2. Run composer install to update the sitemap module's code
   3. Run drush -y deploy, or run database updates and then import configuration through the UI

This procedure is documented in the official instructions, but I find gbyte's article on In which order should be Drupal updates and configuration import/export run? to be a bit easier to reference.
