Filter tips

Filter tips are now output through the format selector. Modules no longer need to call filter_tips_short() to display them.

A module's filter tips are returned through the filter_tips hook:

<?php
function hook_filter_tips($delta, $format, $long = false) {
  if (
$long) {
    return
t("Long tip");
  }
  else {
    return
t("Short tip");
  }
}
?>

As in the filter hook you can ignore the $delta parameter if you're upgrading an existing module. If your filter's tips depend on its settings, make sure you use $format to retrieve the setting for the current input format. $long tells you whether to return long or short tips.
