Rclone 1.66.0 has been released. Find it in the [rclone downloads](https://rclone.org/downloads/) or use [rclone selfupdate](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_selfupdate/) to upgrade. Some highlights of the release: - Rclone will now sync directory modification times if the backend supports it. - This can be disabled with [--no-update-dir-modtime](https://rclone.org/docs/#no-update-dir-modtime) - See [the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#features) and look for the `D` flags in the `ModTime` column to see which backends support it. - Rclone will now sync directory metadata if the backend supports it when `-M`/`--metadata` is in use. - See [the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#features) and look for the `D` flags in the `Metadata` column to see which backends support it. - Bisync has received many updates see below for more details or [bisync's changelog](https://rclone.org/bisync/#changelog) Thank you to all the contributors to this release, those who contributed code or doc fixes (34 people) or made issues or answered questions in the forum - your help is much appreciated!

Thank you all but special thx to @nielash for making mounting on macOS finally working 100%. After years of unresolved issues now [NFC/NFD problem](https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/7072) has been fixed. In addition `rclone nfsmount` allows running mount without problematic macFUSE support. Great day for macOS users:) ---
