janndk 530 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 According to "release notes" https://evernote.com/release-notes there are some updates for EN windows available. Seems though that everspooners have either messed with the information or have forgotten to upload the right file, as this "latest" installs EN 10.68.3. 🤔😒 ⬇️ 2 1 Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 3,979 Posted January 3 Level 5 Share Posted January 3 I'm seeing the same thing. However, my Web client just updated automatically to 10.70.2, for what it's worth. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,186 Posted January 3 Level 5 Share Posted January 3 There was an error introduced into the MATRIX 😱 But it was corrected - my web client shows 10.68.3, as my installed clients do 😮💨 OK, seriously: I think they probably had a mixup in their version management. Quite interesting, kudos to @janndk : Your Observation gives us an idea of how far they are ahead with coding, internal release and (maybe) testing. 3 Link to comment
Victor Tan 2 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Hi I am still using Evernote Legacy, mainly because the new versions I installed is REALLY SLOW on my Windows desktop Would this latest version 10.70.2 makes the software run smoother and faster? 1 Link to comment

Any of the recent versions should run pretty smooth. Version 10 uses a different sync technology from Legacy. When you first run V10 notes have to be converted over to a different format needed by the new sync technology. It doesn’t do this in the background, rather it does it note by note as you access them. This will make the new version seem slow initially until notes have been converted over. It still may not run quite as fast as Legacy but I find it fast enough. Link to comment

It still may not run quite as fast as Legacy but I find it fast enough. I disagree from my perspective. The recent versions are WAY slower in use (for my use-cases) than legacy, though not unasable like the first v10 versions. But I'm happy for you that it is fast enough for your experience to be good. 🙌👊👍 2 Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 2,955 Posted January 4 Evernote Expert Share Posted January 4 I got 10.70.2 as an in-app update today. Just looks like the download is lagging. 1 Link to comment
VincentC 273 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 @Victor Tan, are you running Windows 10 or 11? If not, that could an explanation for what you are seeing. Power users have different opinions about what constitutes "slow"... I'll just say from my non-technical, typical user perspective, Evernote 10 is plenty fast. If you're on Win 10 or later and your experiencing slow performance, you might want to look at some of the other threads about that topic, with particular attention to how to reinstall Evernote and refresh your local database. Often, a problem in the local copy of your data can cause slow performance by anyone's definition. Vinnie 1 Link to comment

OK, but if this is the reason, it should be known on EN site. I'm sure they have (internal?) tools check a database for any such problem. If so, they should execute repair procedures either in the background or explicitely by informing the user what's going on... It's not a good idea to let users make bad experiences, cry for help and see that there are no official answers. Suggestions from other users are not useful to strengthen the believe in vendor skills. 1 Link to comment

AdmiralP 87 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 At 14:16 GMT here in the UK today (6th Jan 2024), on downloading the Windows Evernote-latest.exe file from the Download page, and checking the Properties in File Explorer, (see atached) it still shows that this is version 10.68.3, so update availability still lagging BTW - someone mentioned that their Web client had updated to 10.70.2 - how can you tell what version of the Web ckient is being used? Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 2,955 Posted January 6 Evernote Expert Share Posted January 6 For whatever reason, the download file hasn't been updated. At this point the only way to get the most recent release for a desktop app is to install 10.68.3 and waits for it to update. The web clients only update on the background. You will see an on screen flash that tells you if the client has just been updated but if you blink you'll miss it. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,186 Posted January 6 Level 5 Share Posted January 6 For the Mac, the website delivers 10.68.3 as well. No issue for me, it works fine. Link to comment

mackid1993 776 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 For anyone on Windows in %localappdata%\evernote-client-updater\pending you can always find the exe for the latest downloaded installer. So if one machine gets the download you can copy that exe to another machine and upgrade there too. Good for situations like this. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,186 Posted January 6 Level 5 Share Posted January 6 Good hint - although if it was there, and then disappeared, it probably was withdrawn for a reason. What had me wonder from the very start of it was the jump in version numbering. We now have 10.68.3 - why should it go right to 10.70.2 ? Jumping 10.69 altogether ? So I think this was an accident in release management. I will happily install 10.70.2 - once it is officially released. Link to comment

AdmiralP 87 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Well, both the Windows evernote-latest.exe and the web client o my PC are still at v10.68.3 That's not causing mea problem as such, it just a bit annoying that I'm not able to download the latest version - something I've been able to do regularly in the past. It does appear that the advertised v10/70.2 may have been "suspended" or wirhdrawn, but we'll await future developments. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,186 Posted January 6 Level 5 Share Posted January 6 19.70 was never declared to be an official release - and it’s not available. From all we know with 10.68.3 you ARE currently on the latest released version. Link to comment

And yet Evernote on my Windows 10 laptop automatically downloaded 10.70.2 yesterday and invited me to install it, which I did. It hasn't given me any problems so far. Also, 10.70.2 has official an "release note," such as it is, on https://evernote.com/release-notes. 2 Link to comment
Level 5* s2sailor 2,251 Posted January 6 Level 5* Share Posted January 6 This looks officially released to me. Maybe they later pulled it, but I've had it for a couple of days. It was an in app update. No problems with it that I've noticed. Link to comment

mackid1993 776 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 If anyone is frustrated I don't mind sharing the 10.70.2 Windows installer from my machine as long as it's allowed per the forum rules. I'd want to hear from @gazumped or @s2sailor to ensure this doesn't violate any rules. Link to comment
Level 5* s2sailor 2,251 Posted January 9 Level 5* Share Posted January 9 We appreciate the offer, but I would suggest that folks wait for it to become available either in app or downloadable from the EN site. It is starting to show up for some so the wait for others shouldn't be much longer. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,186 Posted January 9 Level 5 Share Posted January 9 On my Macs the automatic update now rolls out 10.70.2. Link to comment
AdmiralP 87 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Jusdt to really confuse the matter, looking at the Download page this morning, the Release Notes say the latest release is 10.69.5... Link to comment
Spark594 5 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Looks like the 10.70.2 Release has been stopped. The question now is, can the 10.69.5 installed over 10.70.2, or is a fresh installation needed? Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,186 Posted January 9 Level 5 Share Posted January 9 (edited) I have never seen 10.69.5. The download gave 10.68 until recently. The automatic update installed 10.70.2. It seems they provided 3 versions more or less simultaneously. To me this looks as if release management is a bit shaky at the moment. Edited January 9 by PinkElephant Link to comment

On the 9th, EN upgraded me to Windows 10.70.2. Afterwards, it stopped working. While waiting on the next upgrade, I'm decided to use the web or iPad versions. On the 10th, I uninstalled 10.70.2 and tried using old versions going back to 10.67.4... but none of them work. Today (11th), EN has to 10.71.2... but it has the same problems as the previous version. After installing, it tried to start... but then just crashes. So this time, I deleted my complete "Evernote" offline folder (17GB that takes 3 days to download), then installed EN 10.71.2 again, but it gives the same problem as before. I don't know what to try next... your ideas? Thanks, Duhtch Link to comment

gsmith58v3 28 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Not so fast..my version has been toggling between 10.68.2 and 10.71.2 (installed on 01/12). This morning, it went back to 10.68.2. It isn't causing me issues, but this certainly is interesting behavior. On 1/11/2024 at 12:26 PM, Dave-in-Decatur said: And today has 10.71.2, so it seems to be fixed. 1 Link to comment
