Here is the recent version history for Evernote as of 28 Nov 2017.
Version 6.13.1
Fixed:
- A fix for an issue where reminders overlap text and omit notes on macOS 10.13.1
- A fix for an issue where sync intermittently fails for some users after clipping content from the web (CDATA error seen in log)
- An improvement to make it easier to detect and troubleshoot specific notes that are failing to sync – if you see an exclamation mark on a note in the note list (for snippet and card view) and a red dot in the sync status column for the list views, it’s a problematic note
Version 6.13
6.13 and app updates going forwards will be supported on OS X El Capitan (10.11) and above.
Improved:
- Sharing: consolidated share options under the “Share” button in Evernote. Share a note, choose to create a public link or modify share permissions all from one place.
- Navigation and Commanding UI: we’ve made some adjustments to provide more space for your content using a narrower toolbar, and making some tweaks to the sidebar to improve legibility. We’ve also improved the Move Note dialog to make it even faster to move a note across accounts by listing all notebooks from both your business and personal accounts directly in the dialog.

Major improvements to tables!
Some highlights of what you can do with tables now:
- Add more rows and columns with a single click: Point to where you want a new column and click the plus button that appears.
- Select the contents of a cell by clicking and dragging.
- Choose the entire column or row just by clicking the header.
- Drag and drop entire rows & columns.
- Copy and paste multiple cells: Select the cells you want to move, copy them, move cursor to a new spot and paste all the cells with one click.
- Adjust the width of one column without affecting the width of the column next to it.
- Scroll horizontally to view a table with many columns without expanding your window.
- Hover within a cell to activate advanced table options.
- You can distribute columns evenly
- Match the table width to the width of your window
- Change the alignment of items within cells

Multi-tasking improvements
- Keep your Evernote content organized using tabs. Create a new tab by selecting the ‘New Tab’ option under the File menu.
- Pick up from where you left off – if you exit the app and re-open it, you’ll return to your previously opened windows / state.
Separation of Business and Personal
- No longer intermingle your business and personal content in your Evernote experience but still multi-task when you need to. Improving on 6.11 Beta 1 & 2, we’ve added support for having business and personal notes open side-by-side.

- Effortlessly switch between notes. Introducing a new navigation/search feature that lets you switch between notes and notebooks with the tap of a quick key. Just hit “⌘J” to give it a try. (The previous notebook selector is still available with a new shortcut: “⌘⌥J”.)
- Zoom is here! Now you can use “⌘+” and “⌘-” or pinch gestures on the trackpad to zoom in and out of a note. Two of our developers responded to the call of this long-standing user request and knocked it out in our first ever Hack Week. Enjoy!
- You can now easily duplicate a note from the “Note” menu.

- We redesigned the audio recorder for easy, intuitive recording and playback (OS X 10.10+).
Fixed:

Beta Features
We have a couple of features that are not quite finished yet but are available for beta testing purposes.
- Zoom – Use “⌘+” and “⌘-” to temporarily zoom in and out. There are a few bugs, including an issue with resizing images when in zoom mode. To try it out, go to Preferences -> Software Update -> Enable zoom.
- Code Block – This feature basically takes any selected text and converts it to a monospaced font and creates a gray background around the line of text. This also has a few bugs. It’s not recommended to turn this feature on if you’re an Android user because editing the note on Android will undo the code block. This works fine if you’re using the Common Editor beta version of Android, but will break using the standard Android app. To try it out, go to Preferences -> Software Update -> Enable code block.
Version 6.4
New:

- Improved overall stability.
Version 6.3
New:
- Some people were unwittingly deleting notes by hitting ⌫. Totally our fault for not putting a safety on the deleter. So we changed the key command to ⌘⌫, which is much harder to do on accident (and is equivalent to Finder’s shortcut key).

Fixed:
- Fixed an issue where font information was lost when copying from Evernote.
- Fixed an issue where URLs for web-clipped notes wouldn’t appear.
