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.
