Trying to bring window to the foreground more aggressively (Roger Pack)
Added utility class Win32::Screenshot.Util with some helper methods not related directly with taking of the screenshots:
- all_windows - enumerates all windows and returns their titles and window handles as an Array (Roger Pack)
- window_title(hwnd) - returns title of the window for specified handle (Jarmo Pertman)
- window_hwnd(title_query) - returns handle of the window for specified title (Jarmo Pertman)
- dimensions_for(hwnd) - returns a width and height for a window with specified handle (Jarmo Pertman)
Removed a file ‘win32screenshot.rb’ which was solely used for displaying deprecation warnings for versions older than 0.0.4. Make sure than from now on all require statements require ‘win32/screenshot’!

Fixed usages of gdi32.dll BitBlt (Roger Pack)
It was impossible to specify correctly window titles with regular expressions special characters in them (Roger Pack)

Added method window_area for capturing specified area of the window instead of full window (Jarmo Pertman) Usage: Win32::Screenshot.window_area(title, x1, y1, x2, y2) {|width, height, bmp|}
Added method foreground_area for capturing area of the foreground (Jarmo Pertman) Usage: Win32::Screenshot.foreground_area(x1, y1, x2, y2) {|width, height, bmp|}
Added method desktop_area for capturing area of the visible view (Jarmo Pertman) Usage: Win32::Screenshot.desktop_area(x1, y1, x2, y2) {|width, height, bmp|}
Added method hwnd_area for capturing area of the window with specified handle (Jarmo Pertman) Usage: Win32::Screenshot.hwnd_area(hwnd, x1, y1, x2, y2) {|width, height, bmp|}

Removed usage of ShowWindow with parameter SW_SHOW when trying to bring window to front due it’s behaviour of resizing window if it was maximized (Jarmo Pertman)
Using FFI::Struct when searching window handle (Roger Pack)

Fixed a bug where taking of screenshots failed on some sizes of windows (thanks for the tip from Tony Popiel)
Blocks should be used when taking screenshots for cleaning up resources after usage (Aslak Hellesøy)
Changed library structure - it is now needed to require ‘win32/screenshot’ (Aslak Hellesøy)
Replaced Ruby::DL with Ruby-FFI for better VM support and less segfaults (Jarmo Pertman)
Added Ruby 1.9.1 support (Jarmo Pertman)
Win32::Screenshot.window restores window if it’s minimized before taking screenshots and brings it to the foreground (Jarmo Pertman)
Changed some internal method names (Jarmo Pertman)
Replaced Test::Unit with RSpec and made specs more robust (Jarmo Pertman)

PS! This version is not backwards compatible due to different method names and usage, but upgrading should be relatively easy nevertheless.
