Missing Ipython Cell Magics

In an ipython notebook when I run %lsmagic I get:

Available cell magics:
%%!  %%bash  %%capture  %%file  %%perl  %%prun  %%python3  %%ruby  %%script  %%sh  %%sx   %%system  %%timeit

I'm expecting to see:

Available cell magics: %%! %%HTML %%SVG %%bash %%capture %%debug %%file %%html %%javascript %%latex %%perl %%prun %%pypy %%python %%python3 %%ruby %%script %%sh %%svg %%sx %%system %%time %%timeit %%writefile

(From http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/ipython/ipython/blob/master/examples/notebooks/Cell%20Magics.ipynb)

My python version is 2.7.4 and my Ipython version is 0.13.2. Also I'm doing this on Ubuntu. How do I update my ipython magics?

Meta-question: What is the proper etiquette for answering your own questions? Especially if the answer turns out to be rather simple.

The solution to this problem was rather easy. My ipython version was out of date; apt-get had an outdated version of ipython. To remedy this I used pip (which I just learned is the canonical way to update and install python packages) to upgrade ipython to the current stable release.
