The build infrastructure continues to be maintained, and aleph sources
and binaries included in TeX Live.  This is primarily so that existing
omega and aleph documents can still be processed.  No significant new
features have been added to Aleph for some years.

tokens of category 12 (other) representing the featureset
version number; (1.15 for \OmegaVersion, 0 (RC2) for
\AlephVersion, 2.1 for \eTeXVersion) (inherited from Omega)

\<featureset>revision   the expansion is a list of character
tokens of category 12 (other) representing the featureset
minor version number; (.15 for \Omegarevision, (RC2) for
\Alephrevision, .1 for \eTeXrevion) (inherited from e-TeX)

\<featureset>version    an integer value representing the
featureset major version number (1 for \Omegaversion, 0 for
\Alephversion, 2 for \eTeXversion) (inherited from e-TeX)

\<featureset>minorversion   an integer value representing the
featureset minor version number (15 for \Omegaminorversion, 0
for \Alephminorversion, 1 for \eTeXminorversion) (new)
