No, both were introduced in 10.1.2. In most cases, this is the wording 
that is used, and all synonyms are assumed to be introduced at the same 
time. Only in the case of the ST_ synonym being introduced at a 
different time does the text state "... introduced as a synonym in 
version ...". So unless specified, assume in cases like these that both 
arrived at the given version.

As for deprecated functions, assume they're not unless specified, but 
it's possible something has been overlooked. I know in the past features 
have been deprecated with a small note in the code, and this has never 
made it to the documentation. ConvexHull does not appear to be 
deprecated though.
