Please add unpacked Sitemap.xml to root folder

Not all search engines index sitemap.xml.gz, even those defined in robots.txt. Thank you for v3.1.

Hi @sergeykorobeynikov,

Do you know what search engines do not support the .xml.gz format?

As a work-around, you could manually unzip the sitemap.xml.gz file and add the sitemap.xml into the root of your project, and add the following retype.yml project config:

include:
  - "sitemap.xml"

When Retype builds, the sitemap.xml file will be automatically copied to the output folder.

Hope this helps.
