This is a bugfix release containing a lot of little fixes, the most important ones being the fixes to the SFTP and Dropbox backends.
Note that because of a bug in rclone selfupdate fixed in this release, if you run rclone selfupdate it might not work this time on non Windows/macOS platforms. Do give it a try though!
tho i am not seeing a change at https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/#installing-on-windows
"To run rclone mount on Windows, you will need to download and install WinFsp" points to http://www.secfs.net/winfsp/ which if you click the download button, which will download the old version https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfsp/releases/download/v1.8/winfsp-1.8.20304.msi
perhaps the docs should point to https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfsp/releases/tag/v1.9
Running sudo rclone selfupdate on my M1 Macbook Pro I get:
2021/05/09 13:03:23 Error: failed to update rclone: failed with 404 Not Found downloading https://downloads.rclone.org/v1.55.1/rclone-v1.55.1-darwin-arm64.zip
Can you download v1.55.1 manually then try selfupdate again? Maybe update to the beta with the --beta flag then back to --stable? I think we fixed this bug already but I can't remember!

@webreaper
I hope I fixed this bug. The patch has been released today as latest rclone beta. If you wish, you can try it now. Install forked copy of latest beta from Release v1.55.0-selfupdate-osx · ivandeex/rclone · GitHub to a test location and run /test/path/rclone selfupdate --beta. It should run to completion. I can't build arm64 but amd64 should work fine thanks to Rosetta, so please install it to a temporary location for this test, don't overwrite arm64 rclone binary. If you confirm, it will be included in the 1.56 release.
