-Modern versions of
-Ghostscript do not process transparency operators in ps files unless the flag -dALLOWSPSTRANSPARENCY is added to the function call. In TeXShop 5.18, a preference item titled "Ghostscript Options" under the Typesetting tab can be checked to activate the flag.
-This activation only applies in two circumstances:
-<p><ul>
-<li> When TeXShop opens a postscript file, it calls ps2pdf to convert the postscript to pdf and opens the pdf file.
-Without the flag, transparency will be ignored in the ps file. With the flag, it will be respected.
-<p><li> When TeXShop typesets files in DVI mode, it runs TeX or LaTeX to create a dvi file, runs
-dvips to create a postscript file, converts the postscript file to pdf using ps2pdf, and displays the pdf file.
-Projects typeset in this way can use the package pstricks for extra typesetting effects, and pstricks can add transparency to illustrations. Typesetting
-will only preserve transparency if the flag is set.
-</ul>
-<p>The flag requires Ghostscript 9.51 or higher. It has no effect when used with earlier versions of Ghostscript.
-<p> The flag is added (in DVI mode) only if the user has not added "--distillerops" to the simpdftex preference settings.
-TeXShop does not want to interfere with users who are carefully controlling the Ghostscript flags themselves.
-<p> This preference item should still work when users supply their own Ghostscript, possibly from macports or homebrew, but that has not been tested.
-<p> Two sample files are provided for experimentation with the new setting. Select the TeXShop menu "Open ~/Library/TeXShop" and navigate to
-the folder New/Version-5.18. This folder contains two files which can be copied to your home directory:
-Transparency.ps and Transparency.tex. Open Transparency.ps in TeXShop. If the new item is not selected, the ruler in the illustration will cover the material underneath. If the new item is selected, the ruler will be partially transparent and show items underneath. Typeset the source file Transparency.tex to see the same change of behavior when typesetting in DVI mode. These samples were provided by Antonis Tsolomitis, with email address <a href="atsol@aegean.gr">atsol@aegean.gr</a> and web url
-<a href="https://myria.math.aegean.gr/~atsol/newpage-en/">https://myria.math.aegean.gr/~atsol/newpage-en/</a>.
-<p> When new typesetting methods become available or older methods require new flags to operate properly, the changes are generally handled in TeXShop by creating new engine files. Herbert Schulz created such engines for transparency, available in ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/Inactive/GhostscriptTransparencyEngines. The new preference
-item does not affect these engines, and the engines are more flexible than the preference setting, handling for instance versions of Ghostscript earlier than 9.51. Use Herbert's engines for full control. The new preference is for users who run into a problem and want to click a box for a quick solution.
-
-<p> The following changes were also made:
-<p><ul>
-<li> In Single Window mode, after typesetting a project with a root file the root source was brought forward even if the "Continue Editing" preference was selected. This behavior has been fixed by Matthias Schmidt.
-<p><li>Uwe Schmock improved the formatting of the TeXShop Manual.

+Version 5.19 was never released. The following changes were made in 5.20:
+<p><ul>
+<li> Some people complained that line numbers in the source file are too small to read. A new preference under the "Source" tab allows users to choose between small and large line numbers.
+
+<p><li> The Typst project by Martin Haug and Laurenz Mädje is a complete rewrite of both the input language and the typesetting abilities of TeX and LaTeX. See <a href="https://typst.app">https://typst.app</a> for details. A TeXShop user, Jeroen Scheerder, recently created an engine file that allows TeXShop to typeset Typst sources. Version 5.20 of TeXShop contains that engine in ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/Inactive/Typst. This folder also contains simple typst source files, called templates, and instructions explaining how to download and install typst. Thus users can
+easily experiment with Typst using TeXShop.
+
+<p><li> Typst source files have extension ".typ". This file extension was added to the list of extensions that TeXShop is willing to create and open, and to the list of file types that TeXShop can typeset. Moreover, source files with extension ".typ"
+can be added to ~/Library/TeXShop/Templates and then will appear in the Templates pulldown menu in the source window.
+
+<p><li> Version 5.18 of TeXShop contains a preference which adds a flag whenever Ghostscript is called telling the program to process transparency operators. This flag is understood by Ghostscript 9.51 and later, so TeXShop has code which checks the version of Ghostscript running, and does not add the flag when the version is earlier than 9.51.
+But very shortly after the release of TeXShop 5.18, Matthias Schmidt read that code and discovered that it did nothing because it was deactivated by a line of debugging code I forgot to remove. I silently fixed the bug and most people updating to version 5.18 received a version without this bug. Since the bug was minor, I decided not to release a new version just to fix it. It is fixed for everyone in version 5.20.
+
+<p><li> The TeXShop manual was updated slightly to describe the changes in version 5.20. Uwe Schmock has also improved the manual and some of his changes are in the latest version.
+
+<p><li> Max Horn runs an important web site which may be unknown to most TeXShop users. The site is
+<a href="https://github.com/TeXShop/TeXShop">https://github.com/TeXShop/TeXShop</a> and contains
+the source code for most versions of TeXShop since the program began. While the Horn site was under construction,
+I sent him old sources obtained by turned on computers that had last run twenty years ago; they started right up! That is how I found the original sources for the earliest TeXShop, which are linked from the the main TeXShop page,
+<a href="https://pages.uoregon.edu/koch/texshop/texshop.html">https://pages.uoregon.edu/koch/texshop/texshop.html</a>.
+
+<p> I am ashamed to admit that git remains a mystery to me. So Horn has access to valuable information I know nothing about. Here's an example. Horn recently reported that the 5.18 sources suddenly contained a complete copy of the final program. That was 90 megs of useless information. Sure enough, a copy had accidentally been saved in the wrong spot.
+This problem was immediately fixed on the web, but I'm gradually digesting a list from Horn of other elements in the current sources that are probably no longer relevant.
