Genero Inc. (Headquarters: Ota-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Taishi Takeuchi), a consulting firm that supports in-house DX transformation by leveraging the power of open-source technology, is pleased to announce the release of Kamihaya CMS v1.60.0—a Drupal-based distribution—on March 5, 2026.

〜About KamihayaCMS〜
KamihayaCMS is a content management system designed to build secure, high-functioning websites quickly and efficiently.
Kamihaya CMS v1.60.0 is available for free download.
〜New Features in v1.60.0〜
With the release of KamihayaCMS v1.60.0, we have introduced standardized sitemap control and enhanced security features. Furthermore, by advancing our infrastructure preparation for the next-generation Drupal 11, we have significantly strengthened both website reliability and future-proofing.
1. Universal Sitemap Control: Eliminating "Noise" from Search Strategies
We have implemented a flexible control feature as a standard KamihayaCMS module to exclude unnecessary paths from the XML sitemap.
This addresses a challenge inherent in standard Drupal specifications, where duplicate paths (such as "/top") are listed, causing search engine evaluation to be diluted. Additionally, we have ensured that 403 and 404 error pages are excluded from the sitemap.
Key Benefits:
- Enhanced Discoverability: By accurately communicating only the "URLs intended for evaluation" to search engines, we improve overall crawlability and search performance.
- Automated Optimization: The system maintains an optimal sitemap without requiring manual technical configuration, directly contributing to more effective digital marketing strategies.
2. Advanced Security & Brand Protection
We have integrated sophisticated controls to prevent custom login pages from being detected by search engine crawlers.
Key Benefits:
- Proactive Security: By hiding administrative entry points from search results, we mitigate the risk of unauthorized access attempts before they occur.
- Brand Integrity: By ensuring search results consist only of "customer-centric content," we maintain a professional corporate image and prevent user confusion.
3. Continuous Progress Toward Drupal 11 Compatibility
Following our previous update, we are continuing to prepare for Drupal 11 (D11), the next major version.
This release includes:
- Refining code in anticipation of the upgrade.
- Removing or streamlining implementations that will be deprecated in the future.
These proactive measures establish a solid foundation that minimizes business disruption and ensures a seamless transition when the major update arrives.
A Flexible and Sustainable CMS
KamihayaCMS reflects its core development philosophy by continually improving the product while also contributing to the open-source community.
From resolving minor bugs to enhancing system stability, KamihayaCMS takes a thoughtful and reliable approach—supporting business continuity through a sustainably evolving CMS.
