Dear all    Rclone version 1.73.1 is available; I got it via self-update and [the downloads webpage](https://rclone.org/downloads/) offers that version, Unusually, though, there seems to be nothing about that release here on the forum. That threw me a little. And I'd like to see the changelog. Thanks all for their time. ---

It was released 8 hours ago? You can always see the changelog at github. In this case, [Documentation](https://rclone.org/changelog/#v1-73-1-2026-02-17) ---

So: - at least sometimes, a release is not always immediately accompanied by a forum post about the release; - whenever there is a release, there is a changelog (at, I take it, some URL that starts `https://rclone.org/changelog/`). Right. Thank you. ---

I've got out of the habit of making point release announcements on the forum as there is never too much to say about them. Do you think I should be? ---

Hi Nick It is natural for users to look to the forum in order to check whether there has been a new release - especially since each new release used to be announced on the forum. Yet, I can appreciate that you have better things to do. So, how about _automating_ the on-the-forum release announcements? Or having a stickied link to the latest release? Or something along these sorts of lines? ---

You can always just watch a repo and customize it just for releases: ![image](https://forum.rclone.org/uploads/default/original/3X/7/5/75736421c7cf74ad093dcff575d1b10b3610e3c4.png) ---

Thanks for reminding me. Just now, prompted by you, I've done that. Possibly something stickied on the forum could tell users that they can do that. Or at least something within the documentation could make the point (unless, er, the documentation makes that point already). ---

And if you are old school (?) and use a feed reader, you can subscribe to an Atom feed by appending `.atom` to the GitHub releases page url: [https://github.com/rclone/rclone/releases.atom](https://github.com/rclone/rclone/releases.atom) ---

If I may , I think you should, if you can. I’m maybe paranoid, but github repo takeover/hack exists. So a post on the official forum saying “so we released version xxx” is welcomed imo. ---

I will resume posting point releases to the forum I think. I agree, having an official notification is a good idea. ---

It seems like RSS polling is available in Discourse: [RSS Polling - Plugin - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/rss-polling/156387) . Perhaps just set it up for the Github Releases RSS feed? Any additional info. can then be added as a reply to the automatically created OP. ---

Just a question here. I’m wondering, do you all just check so every often if updates are available or do you have an automation (cron/launchd) tasks running like everyday to automatically update rclone? thanks for the suggestions ---

On Linux: I have a script that I run, manually, frequently. It updates just about everything - including .debs, flatpaks, and (via rclone's self-update command) rclone. On Windows: er, I forget; but I think I've got something that automatically keeps rclone up to date. ---
