-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 You get the usual wizard and you have to then explicitly check a box that says "Do It!" before it will actually do the upgrade. You can look at release notes and changelogs in that wizard. I just completed the process in about 9min (includes 2 reboots one of which was because of the installation of a new kernel [3.19]) Very painless and straightforward!
