So far as I know it has always been possible to define minor tics.
However, no associated text label is drawn for the minor tics.

Labeled major tics at 0, 0.5, 1.0,  unlabeled minor tics at 0.25 and 0.75:

   set xtics ("Zero" 0 0, "Half" 0.5 0, "One" 1.0 0, 0.25 1, 0.75 1)

The form for each tic is ("Label" <position> <level>)
where level 0 is major tic, and 1 is minor tic.
Both the label and the level are optional.   

Levels > 1 are currently treated exactly the same as level=1 
(label is not printed, minor tic is drawn) but in the future may have 
some different treatment.
