When was alt.selection_point added?

[freddyaboulton]

Hi!

I am a maintainer of a library that uses altair.

I recently noticed the following warnings:

AltairDeprecationWarning: 'selection' is deprecated.
   Use 'selection_point()' or 'selection_interval()' instead; these functions also include more helpful docstrings.

AltairDeprecationWarning: 'add_selection' is deprecated. Use 'add_params' instead.
  warnings.warn(message, AltairDeprecationWarning, stacklevel=1)

When did add_params and selection_points get added to the library? Do they only work in altair 5.0+?
