This release packs quite a lot of fixes, additions and new features which have been requested quite a lot. You are now able to fix any errors caused by faulty microdata and you are also able to use the newest Fact Check Content Type in case you have content which checks the claims of other websites and possibly corrects them.
Automatic Removal of Faulty Microdata
The most occuring problem with Joomla and Google's Testing Tool is the errors and warnings caused by the default and incomplete microdata included in Joomla Articles. GSD v3.0.1 now comes with an option to automatically fix those errors for you without having to install any other third party extension.
The Fact Check Content Type
If you have content in your Joomla website that reviews a claim made by others, you can now use the Fact Check Content Type to instruct Google of this special importance. This Content Type enables Google Search results to show a summarized version of your fact check when your page appears in search results for that claim.
More option additions and fixes
This release also comes with new additions which add to customizability and quite a number of fixes which have been reported since the last release.
