Anyone used jags.parallel in latest version of R2jags?

Ubuntu Oneiric, just ran updates in R to get latest R2jags package which 
supposedly has added jags.parallel command to send chains to multiple 
cores ... but when I submit, I get:

test <- jags.parallel(d, inits, param, model.file="rats.bug",
                      n.chains=3, n.iter=2000)

Error: could not find function "jags.parallel"

checked sessionInfo() to be sure I did actually have the udpated version:

R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22)
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)

locale:

other attached packages:
  [1] R2jags_0.03-02   rjags_3-5        arm_1.4-14       abind_1.4-0

loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
[1] grid_2.14.1   nlme_3.1-102  stats4_2.14.1

And then checked the library information and see that the jags.parallel 
command doesn't actually appear:

 > library(help=R2jags)
