We just released Evernote for Mac 6.1 Beta 2. We have released this to the entire public beta group. We’re really close to shipping this version so it’s pretty stable but let us know if you find any issues. Beta 1 had the following fixes:
A fix for users who run both Evernote for Windows and Mac and encrypt text on Windows with blank lines or tables in them.
A fix for Lion users who are seeing weird selection issues after deleting text.
A printing fix where text would get cut off on the right side of the note.
A number of bug fixes in presentation mode.
In Beta 2 we’ve added some additional fixes:
Fixed an issue where copying and pasting text that started with “{“ would fail. I think this was impacting a bunch our customers who were also programmers.
Fixed an issue on the sidebar where shortcuts, notebooks and tags would always be expanded no matter what they set them to after a relaunch.
Fixed some visual items in card view where attachments would look truncated and sometimes the cards would look blurry if using both a retina display Mac and a non-retina monitor.
Fixed an odd sync issue where some people would get into an infinite sync mode and using the app would get really slow and the app would hang.
Continued to fix crashing issues.
There are some new things as well.
The most obvious one is we’ve made the sidebar dark to better differentiate the sections. If you’ve grown accustomed to the Yosemite style light sidebar you can keep it. Just select the View : Sidebar Options menu and select Use Light Sidebar. Let us know if you like the dark sidebar.
Business users will now be required to use the new notebook view. This is to help improve differentiation between business and personal content but also we allow you to search for notebooks that you haven’t joined.
We’ve also changed the way business tags work. In the past we displayed all business tags. Now we are only going to display the business tags of notes that you have access to. This has already been incredibly helpful here at Evernote where we have a bazillion tags.
Also new in this release is a way to rate the quality of the Evernote for Mac product. We’ll automatically prompt a small select group of you each release but if you’d like to rate the product you can always go to the Evernote menu and select Rate Evernote for Mac. These ratings are sent back to our service and will be used as a way to track the overall quality of the Mac product for each release both here in the US and across the world with the goal of improving the product and the ratings overtime.
Finally, we’ve completely overhauled the underlying technology we use for our communication and collaboration features. There might be some setbacks that occur whenever one makes this large of a change but overall we’re noticing it’s more stable and reliable.
Here’s a link to download the 6.1 Beta 2 release. Please give it a try and let us know if you find any issues. For those of you that are Lion (10.7) or Mountain Lion (10.8) users, please try this beta out. This will be your last release so lets make sure that note editing is in really good shape before we call 6.1 done. What this means is you'll be able to use Evernote for Mac 6.1 indefinitely but you won't be able to upgrade to newer versions of Evernote that we release.
