This version introduces a system to update the sitemap cache files that are not anymore generated when the sitemap is viewed. The administrators of a Drupal web site can update the cache files from the tools menu, or they can update it using xmlsitemap.cron.php that needs to be invoked from the cron command line in the same way cron.php is called. Differently from what its name can make think, xmlsitemap.cron.php doesn't invoke the Drupal cron hooks implementation, but it is dedicated to the task of updating/creating the cache files used for the sitemap.
Bear in mind that the cache files are not required because, in the case they are missing, the code gets the links directly from the database tables, and build the sitemap chunks in real time (this means that it generates the content of a sitemap chunk that normally contains 1000 links). The cache files, when they are present, surely help in making the process of rendering the sitemap content much faster.
