The web site doesn't appear to mention what OS versions it can *build* on. It just mentions what OS versions it's "for". Previous versions would have run on earlier OS versions, but required a newer SDK to compile, and judging by the fact that TeXShop4 only built on our High Sierra builder, I guess that's still the same. I have been working on adding ports for older SDKs, so maybe then we can fix this situation. >> It's a little weird that you have the TeXShop 2.47 port for Snow Leopard and >> older, and the TeXShop 4.00 port for Mavericks and newer, and no TeXShop >> port that works on Lion or Mountain Lion. > > I was considering leaving TeXShop3 for Lion, but that would have meant adding > epoch, as the currently supported version for Lion is 3.65. Right. Or you could combine everything into a single TeXShop port, and offer different TeXShop versions to different OS versions as needed.
