After the fantastic (if a tad unstable) 2006r4 release that included universal binary support and could finally handle files greater than 2GB, as well as a host of useful language features and tweaks, what does this version offer?
A few bug fixes for errors that should never have been introduced in the first place, a meager reduction in file sizes (no better than about 20%), and very little in the way of significant new features.
Perhaps for some users the few new features and fixes will be vital, but for me this is the first time that I'm seriously considering skipping an upgrade.

The fix appears to be to delete your preferences file. You'll find it in your users folder under library/preferences/com.charcoaldesign.shades.plist.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
