Neo.mjs v11.3.0 Release Notes

This release brings significant improvements to SEO, the routing system, and the overall developer experience. Our AI-native workflow continues to enable rapid and impactful enhancements to the framework.

✨ Highlights

🌐 Enhanced SEO & Discoverability

• Comprehensive Example Indexing: The SEO file generation process (generateSeoFiles.mjs) now automatically scans the apps/ and examples/ directories to include all examples in the sitemap.xml and llms.txt files. This makes our rich set of examples fully discoverable to search engines and LLMs. (Issue #7769)
• Accurate Sitemap Timestamps: The <lastmod> date for examples in the sitemap now reflects the last modification of any file within the example's directory, providing more accurate information to web crawlers. (Issue #7770)
• Improved LLM Context: The llms.txt file has been updated with a more detailed description of the different build environments, giving LLMs better context on how to interpret and present the example URLs. (Issue #7771)

🏗️ Framework & API Improvements

• Smarter Routing: The onHashChange method in src/controller/Base.mjs now provides the matched route pattern as a capturedRoute property in the value object passed to route handlers. This gives developers more context and enables more powerful and flexible routing logic. (Issue #7773)
• Refactored Portal SEO Handling: The SEO metadata management within the Portal app has been refactored for better maintainability. Metadata is now stored in a dedicated seo.json file and loaded via a new Portal.service.Seo singleton, separating data from view logic. (Issue #7772)
