Levelling followers after latest patch... Options

[Burnt Sierra]

Can some clever person who plays on the pc check something for me?

There have been rumours (which nobody seems to be able to confirm yet ) that they actually level properly now, rather than staying at the level of when you first meet them. Stuck on the 360, so I can't check this, so can someone on the pc help please?

It's been one of my biggest bugbears since the game was released...
