I'd like to thank all of you for the great reviews and for over 100,000 downloads. That's huge. I never thought this little piece of software would reach something that amazing.
And this is also why I feel quite ashamed - I stopped working on this project almost 4 years ago. I'm really sorry for this -- I didn't have the time and effort to continue working on it. Later on I've put a lot of thought into this, I wanted to continue developing it, then I wanted to start over the whole thing in C++, but I just didn't do anything. And now, in 2010, downloading a shutdown utility is no longer needed, as current versions of Windows have quite advanced energy saving policies, and the system can do most of the things people usually need.
There is still some need for advanced functions, but I think it's negligible. The built-in functions are sufficient for most of us, including me.
Maybe, if I'll have some free time, I'll reconsider the demand for Shutdown Monster, and maybe I'll "resurrect" it -- but this is quite unlikely.
I'm really sorry, I feel bad for killing off "The Monster". Thank you very much for your support, it really meant a lot to me.
Love,
David.

Some bugs are fixed, will get this baby on SourceForge tomorrow.

Version Rebirth - 4.0.5.2 Official Bugfixes
Released [05/23/2006]
! Interface: Some labels are repositioned to make the French texts fit in
! Parameters: Using '-', '--' or '/' prefix really works now
! Interface: The Monster logo won't get hidden if the 'Always on top' function is enabled
! Accessibility: The systray icon is not showed if Shutdown Monster should be completely hidden... (thanks to an unknown man for finding this bug)
* Saving: Everything is saved upon exit WILL ADD A CHECKBOX IN THE NEXT VERSION
* Interface: The icon looks better
+ Interface: French language file added; translated by Nico220 -- thank you! NOT COMPLETE

After seven months of waiting, Shutdown Monster is reborn. Thank you very much for all your feedback you've sent me, I hope I have fixed all the bugs.

I still don't have SMLPack. Someone please get me one for Delphi 2006.
Anyways, the changelog is getting longer:
- Bundling: .beats is not included anymore
! Logging: logs those things only that really happened
! Accessibility: The windows is visible when it should be and is minimized when it should be (hopefully; fourth try)
! Countdown: The SysTray icon shows remaining time normally
! Shutdown: Hibernation works normally (thanks goes to Arne (pi82) for finding the bug)
* Source: Ported to Delphi 2006 -> uses Indy 10, JVCL, doesn't use RXLib anymore. 'Sky' is no longer available
* Shutdown: Shutdown for Sure enhanced
* Accessibility: Parameters can have a '-', '/' or '--' prefix
+ Logging: Verbose logging added. Launch Shutdown Monster with the parameter 'v' to use it
+ CPU usage: 'Shutdown only if there is no data input' should work now (but it is off by default, for stability and security purposes)

I decided not to include .beats anymore. Some people may not like bundled software :)

The change log so long:
- Bundling: .beats is not included anymore
! Accessibility: The windows is visible when it should be and is minimized when it should be (hopefully; fourth try)
! Shutdown: Hibernation works normally (thanks goes to Arne (pi82) for finding the bug)
* Source: Ported to Delphi 2006 -> uses Indy 10, JVCL, doesn't use RXLib anymore. 'Sky' is no longer available
* Accessibility: Parameters can have a '-' or '/' prefix
+ CPU usage: 'Shutdown only if there is no data input' should work now (but it is off by default, for stability and security purposes)... read more

I don't have any more ideas that could make Shutdown Monster even better :P
Anyways, even if I won't add anything to it, I'll re-release it in December - when Delphi 10 comes out.

Finally, Shutdown Monster 4.0.4 is released, with loads of bugfixes - get it now and feel the real power of the monster!

Yeah, Shutdown Monster 4.0.4 is ready, but I will test it for some days :)
So, it's to be released in some days, get ready!
LOTS of bugs fixed :P

Yeah, another release in just a few days - sorry :)
So, 'CSB' is bundled with a neat little clock (just like in the previous version), 'min' is just the program, without clock, without Client-Server support.
If you want to get the source of the clock, drop me a mail! (It's open-source as well :P).

I'm learning French now, so I may translate the program to French.. but I would be happy if someone could please help me :)

This release only contains some bugfixes
