Godfrey, then it must have been a year ago then. They were pushing the impending release with a big social media and blogging sites campaign and urging folks to give the beta a test as it was to be released shortly.
You don't _make_ a layered file in Lightroom. You receive one back into Lightroom from an external editor, like Photoshop. Example: starting in Lightroom with a DNG file in your library, you invoke Edit-in Photoshop. That sends the file to Photoshop where it appears as a single layer in a freshly opened file. You edit this. Create some adjustment layers. Now Save. That sends the edited copy of the file back to Lightroom as a layered TIFF where it appears in the catalog as a new file. I stack that with the original for less confusion. If you re-edit that edited TIFF you will find that the entire thing is there intact with all layers, meta info, etc. Clear?
