Also, upgrading to the final release will happen automatically with your usual `apt-get upgrade`.
Edit: to clarify, I mean upgrading from this release to the final.
Would that be the same case if I installed a daily build from a week ago?
Yes, but I would either use Software Updater (update manager) or "sudo apt-get update" followed by "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" (not upgrade as suggested above). Just a minor nitpick.
That's only if you guys ship a new kernel in the next couple of weeks, right?
Are you sure that's true? Normally it requires do release upgrade?
Normal upgrades also require apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade the kernel as there's a new package.
Upgrading from beta to release is apt-get upgrade.
Update from 13.10 (or 12.04) to 14.04 is do-release-upgrade.
Not just kernel. dist-upgrade will pull in any new dependency required by an upgraded package.
don't forget the time, am not exactly sure of the timezone but it'll be released at EXACTLY April 17th, 2014 @ 14:04
