If it goes against our MO, then I'd double-check to make sure it's a decision we actually made. :-) As Otto wrote, backwards compatibility wasn't there. It's back now. The old-style help, if supplied through add_contextual_help() or the contextual_help or contextual_help_list filters, will end up in a "Screen Info" tab. To build your own tabs, you'll need to use the new-style API. What's the new-style API? Not sure yet. It involves the use of $current_screen->add_help_tab(), which you can call off the "load-$pagenow" hook. But note this may change a bit, as I want to make it a bit simpler and more intuitive. So, please do experiment with the code, but note that proper documentation and final code won't come until 3.3 beta 2. I would not be surprised if coding examples break one last time. If you have contributions to WP_Screen, see #18785.
