This only affected people updating from 4.19 or 4.17 who received small delta updates. There is an easy way to tell if you have this problem. Go to "About This Release" in TeXShop Help. If the document title is "About TeXShop 4.19", you have the bad version.

Thanks for the clarification. This is exactly my case. This explains what I reported off-list this morning: update applied automatically on restart, without dialog telling there is an update and without request for authentication.

Maybe because you turned off the delta updates, starting up TeXShop now what I get is the standard update process (screenshots below): notification an update is available, download, request for restart, authentication.

So I assume the result is a functional 4.20 ("About this release" says 4.20) and there's no need to download the whole TeXShop package from your web site.

By the way, when I started TeXShop as just said, Sparkle correctly detected 4.19 was installed, not 4.20 as the About TeXShop window said. So this seems to mean that, when delta updates are off, Sparkle behaves correctly.
