Where is Softness and ESM/VSM in latest version 2.91

In the latest version 2.91, When you to into Object Data Properties for Light, the Softness field is gone as is the ESM and VSM options. Softness, ESM and VSM are the video course version. I looked for Softness and ESM/VSM somewhere else and could not find them. I found a checkbox for Soften Shadows (I think that’s what it was called) but a value to manipulate, like in Softness, is what is needed.

Without being able to change the Softness value I couldn’t find a way to make the shadows less harsh.

Is there somewhere else that they put Softness and ESM/VSM?

Thanks!

It is changed into Radius for Pointlamp. Or Size X, Y for area lamp.
The Sun has Anglewhich has a relation to real-world sun and the earth.
Changing them will soften the shadows in Cycles. For Eevee the same but Eevee has different properties for shadows. Which has something to do with render speed vs accuracy.
