What's new

Version 4.21

• Fixed some problems with the CPU load meter.

Version 4.20

• Full support of Windows XP Themes (using Windows XP Theme Manager by Mike Lischke).
• Added an option for explicitly reactivate or not the last programmed shut dow. This allows running the program at session start without activating last shut down.
• Related to the previous point, the shut down reactivation works now with all modes.
• Changed the way the shut down by idle CPU works: now it's based in CPU use percentage instead of using CPU idle percentage (which was rather confusing for some people).
• The "Shut down now" menu/button now display a menu for choosing the type of shut down, instead of using the last used shut down type.
• The shut down date (if any is used) is shown in the display.
• Fix: programming a shut down doesn't prevent the shut down of the system via the Start Menu.
• Fix: now you can specify command line parameters for the program that is executed before the shut down.
• Some other minor changes and fixes.

Version 4.10

• Added an option for hiding the tray bar icon (stealth mode). In this mode, the configuration windows can be accessed using a hotkey.
• The cancel button of the shut down warning window now could be disabled, adding the possibility of showing a warning without allowing cancelling.
• Added help hints for all options.
• Fixed the bug when using settings for all users: Now restricted users can read the global configuration.
• Previously, changing the display options from the tray icon menu make permanent that changes, although Save of OK buttons hadn't be used. Now that changes are temporal.
• Some other minor changes and fixes.

Version 4.01

• Changed the order of events before shutdown. The new order is: program execution, desktop capture and modem hang up.
• Fixed a bug that prevent the command-line features to work.
• Some other minor bugs fixed.

Version 4.0

• Added new shut down options: suspend, hibernate and lock computer.
• CPU idle detection now works in Windows NT/2000/XP (thanks to Alexey A. Dynnikov [ http://www.aldyn.ru/ ] for his sample code).
• Fixed a (stupid) bug that prevent the modem features to work in Windows NT/2000/XP.
• Added command-line parameters for hang up the modem, suspend, hibernate and lock computer.
• Added option for disabling the screen saver while monitoring the CPU idle to prevent that it could load the CPU.
• Some other minor features added.
• Several minor bugs fixed.
