Comment: Update link to release notes and download (it went to the Islandora 7 1.5 release!

...

The Drupal XML Sitemap module automatically creates and updates an XML sitemap which will show up at http://pathtoyoursite.com/sitemap.xml and can help to guide search engines indexing the website. By default, the sitemap does not include links to Islandora repository objects by defaultand you have to configure it. By using the Drupal XML Sitemap Custom module together with the Islandora XML Sitemap module, URLs for Islandora objects will be automatically added to the XML sitemap module database as custom links. Including Islandora objects in the Drupal sitemap makes them more likely to be correctly indexed by search engines.

Installation

...

Administrators can configure the number of objects to add to the sitemap at once, as well as the Solr field to use to track when objects were last added to the sitemap.

If you change either of the two settings in this menu, be sure to click "Save configuration" before you click either "Generate remaining entries" or "Regenerate all Islandora entries" otherwise those settings will not be saved.

Click "Reset configuration" to return the settings to their original values.

In the administration tools for the Drupal XML sitemap module, the Custom Links tab (admin/config/search/xmlsitemap/custom) provides a list of Islandora links in your sitemap. You can edit or delete Islandora links from your sitemap in this tab.

...

Please also note that objects marked as "inactive", whether manually or by using the Simple Workflow module, will still be indexed by default.   You can prevent this by enabling the option "Lock down inactive and deleted objects" under admin/islandora/configure.

Larger sites with greater than 100,000 objects may encounter issues during the sitemap building process with the default configuration, such as the process hanging around a specific number indefinitely or exiting the process entirely before completion. These users may want to try unchecking the "Prefetch URL aliases during sitemap generation" option found on the xmlsitemap admin configuration page (/admin/config/search/xmlsitemap/settings) and trying the process again.

Viewing your Sitemap

Once you've configured the sitemap, your site map will show up at http://pathtoyoursite.com/sitemap.xml

You can edit that default sitemap and can create and manage additional sitemaps by visiting admin/config/search/xmlsitemap .
