Rclone 1.44 release

Releases
1

Rclone 1.44 has been released - find it here https://rclone.org/downloads/

Highlights:

  • rclone serve ftp to serve a remote over FTP
  • reworked command line help (no more lists of 100s of options! - use rclone help flags to see the options now.
  • settier to manage storage tiers (azure only for the moment - more coming) (thanks sandeepkru)

Major backend changes:

  • Google drive now supports importing documents.
  • The onedrive backend has been reworked to use Microsoft Graph which comes with many benefits (see the config walkthrough). However this means you will need to reauthenticate onedrive remotes with rclone config.

Welcome to our new maintainers:

  • Alex Chen @Cnly - onedrive backend maintainer
  • Sandeep Ummadi @sandeepkru - azureblob backend maintainer

Thank you to all the contributors to this release, those who contributed code (32 people!) or made issues or answered questions in the forum - your help is much appreciated!

What’s the reason for changing the way special characters are displayed in Jottacloud? After upgrading to 1.44, all my file names with special characters in them (apostrophes etc.) changed into these weird-looking full-width characters, completely messing up my file paths in Plex, Sonarr, Radarr etc.

The new characters looks like ＇ instead of ’ or ＆ instead of &.

Is this intended behavior?

Sorry about the change. Here is the background behind it

What happened is that we rationalised the characters which need to be replaced in this commit.

This was unfortunately and is slightly backwards incompatible as you’ve discovered. It means that if you uploaded files with an older version of rclone with +!&#%'~ in these will now be appearing as the unicode equivalents you’ve noticed.

However you should be able to rename the files to their proper names and all will be OK after that.

Apologies for the inconvenience - hopefully we won’t have to do that again.

@ncw what about fast upload to google drive, we can use the same --drive-v2-download-min-size=1 ???

No that only applies to downloads. I don’t think uploads are affected in the same way.
