+ =item Complete re-work of Tooltip class
+
+ The L<Win32::GUI::Tooltip|Win32::GUI::Tooltip>
+ implementation has been re-worked to allow
+ all the features to be used, and now there
+ should be no crashes with many of the methods
+ which had been incorrectly implemented. The
+ new implementaiton should be backwards compatable
+ with what was there before, but read the documentation
+ to find out about all the new features you can use.
+
+ The constructor has some new options C<-nofade>, C<-noamimate>
+ and the C<-balloon> option is documented. C<-balloon> option
+ along with the new L<SetTitle|Win32::GUI::Tooltip/SetTitle>
+ method allows you to make use of balloon tooltips.
+
+ The events (NeedText, Pop, Show) now have a second parameter
+ allowing you to correctly determine if the first parameter is
+ a window handle or a tool id.

=head2 Win32::GUI::Constants
! The introduction of Win32::GUI::Constants means that we now have access
! to a very large number of constants, so the current behaviour of Win32::GUI
! to export all constants to the calling namespace by default is no longer
! appropriate. So, a bare
!
! use Win32::GUI;
!
! now generates a warning that the old default behaviour will be deprecated -
! although the export behaviour of Win32::GUI 1.03 is maintained except for this
! warning.
!
! To eliminate this warning and correct your script, do one of the following:
!
! =over
!
! =item If you don't need any constants, use the empty list:
!
! use Win32::GUI();
!
! =item If you need some constants, name them explicitly:
!
! use Win32::GUI qw(ES_WANTRETURN CW_USEDEFAULT); # Two constants exported
! use Win32::GUI qw(/^MB_/); # Export all constants starting with MB_
!
! =back
!
! See the L<Win32::GUI::COnstants|Win32::GUI::Constants> documentation
! for the full allowable syntax.
!
! You are advised to fix your scripts now, as the next version will stop
! exporting any constants by default.
!
! Although not advised, you can supress the warnings by turning deprecated
! warnings off:
!
! no warnings 'deprecated';
!
! Additionally accessing constants from within the Win32::GUI namespace
! is deprecated. I.e.
!
! -addstyle => Win32::GUI::WS_BORDER,
!
! will generate a warning with this release, and will stop working with
! the next release. Use one of the following methods instead:
!
! =over
!
! =item use the Win32::GUI::Constants namespace instead
!
! -addstyle => Win32::GUI::Constants::WS_BORDER(),
!
! =item use any other namespace you fancy
!
! use Win32::GUI qw(-exportpkg => A::B -autoload);
! ...
! -addstyle => A::B::WS_BORDER(),
!
! =item maintain compatibility of exising scripts
!
! use Win32::GUI::Constants qw(-exportpkg => Win32::GUI
:compatability_win32_gui);
! ...
! -addstyle => Win32::GUI::WS_BORDER,
!
! =back
=head2 Win32::GUI::NotifyIcon
! It is no longer necessary to use the '-id' option to any of the
! Win32::GUI::NotifyIcon methods. The ID is now entirely handled
! internally. You will receive deprecated warnings if you use it.
!
! In particular, removing Icons from the system tray should be done
! using
!
! $NI->Remove();
!
! and not by the (now deprecated)
!
! $NI->Delete(-id => 1);
