As Barry reported on Search Engine Land and as the official Google Webmaster Central blog announced yesterday, Google is working to add the functionality to make webmastering a lot easier. With this update, Google announces that it has enhanced their robots.txt reporting tool to consolidate some very useful features, which include recognizing sitemap declarations and relative URLs and reports robots.txt problems in more detail than before.
