February 18th, 2010

· Choose between cleanly closing a program and uncleanly (but faster) terminating a program!
· Be aware that in some cases closing a program won't work! (ex: When having a Microsoft Word or Notepad unsaved document, it will ask if you want to save it!)
· Mute speakers (Master Volume) when hiding programs
· Check for updates automaticlly at Don't Panic! startup (run WebUpdate)

· Other minor changes, bug fixes and UI tweaks

· MAJOR BUG FIX: Pressing the Panic button when Don't Panic! didn't have any software to hide resulted in the imposibility to show it again! (the return HotKey wouldn't work)
· Recompiled help (with a small update to reflect changes)
· Other minor changes, bug fixes and code optimizations
