 * I did try searching for an answer to this question, but I had no luck.
 * Are there revisions for posts (actual posts)? I see them for pages, but I don’t
   see any for posts.

 * to see revisions, you might need to tick the ‘revisions’ tick-box after clicking
   the ‘screen options’ tab on the ‘edit post’ page.

 * Yes, I knew where you were referring to, but there is no check box in that place.
   I visited the page you linked to, and see that it used to be there, but in 4.0
   it doesn’t appear to be there (or at least not in my version).

 * the screen option for revisions is still there in wp4.0 and wp4.0.1.
 * did you possibly remove revisions with an entry in wp-config.php?

 * does anything change when you temporarily switch to the default theme Twenty 
   Fourteen, and when you deactivate all plugins?

 * Ok, I did another test and uncovered what was happening. I edited the “Hello 
   World” post that comes with a fresh install. After one edit there was no revision
   history (and thus not in the screen options drop down). I did another edit of
   the post and finally the revision history appeared (and appeared in the screen
   options drop down).
 * When there is just one revision there is no history, but once you get the 2nd
   revision it appears.
 * Thank you for your help.
