Documented ffmpeg commands not recognized by ffmpeg

I'm trying to use options like, ldash and http_opts, as the dash muxer docs describe but FFmpeg doesn't recognize them. I'm on the latest released version of ffmpeg, v4.2.2. I see the changes in the ffmpeg master branch but not in the v4.2 release branch. Does ffmpeg not recognize them because they haven't been released yet?

Here's the dash muxer docs for reference: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-all.html#dash-2

Here's a minimal example command with uncut output:

Andrews-MacBook-Pro :: dev/test ‹master› » ffmpeg -re -i test.mp4 \                                   
-map 0 -map 0 -c:a libfdk_aac -c:v libx264 \
-b:v:0 800k -b:v:1 300k -s:v:1 320x170 -profile:v:1 baseline \
-profile:v:0 main -bf 1 \
-b_strategy 0 -ar:a:1 22050 \
-adaptation_sets "id=0,streams=v id=1,streams=a" \
-ldash 1 \
-f dash ./output/out.mpd

Yes, branches are cut from master every few months. ldash was committed on 15th Jan 2020, and the 4.2 series was cut on Aug 5 2019, so it will only be in master till 4.3 is cut. Micro versions rarely get feature updates.
