I am attempting to discover when a feature was introduced. It is not mentioned in the [Release News](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/News). Does that mean it has to be backtracked via GitHub?

From the differences in the 5.0 & 5.1 wiki, the timer-based [Automatic Backup](https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Automatic_backup) was _probably_ introduced in the 5.1 version. But I have not found a public notice about it.

How is GitHub searched for such things?

And is there a way to retroactively insert a ‘new feature’ listing into the Roadmap and release notes?

There is mention of Automatic backup options in [Gramps 5.0 What’s New](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_5.0_Wiki_Manual_-_What%27s_new%3F#Primary_changes) as a bullet point under “Primary changes” for the release. Is that what you’re looking for?
