Weird, I am still getting "No new release found." when running `do-release-upgrade`...

EDIT: Found the answer in another comment:

> I also learned that there's an official plan for 18.04.1, to be released July 26th. This is the release that will prompt 16.04 LTS for an upgrade. In other words, the official upgrade path for an LTS is to wait for the first patch release, and not upgrade immediately. So I'm considering waiting to update from 17.10 until 18.04.1 is out.

If you really want to upgrade, you can run `do-release-upgrade --devel-release` (or just -d), which will get you from 16.04 to 18.04. Apparently, 18.04 is considered an development level release from the perspective of 16.04?

(I don't really know what I'm talking about here.)

Upgrades between LTS versions are officially supported until the .01 of the newest LTS afaik (so you'll get the update prompt when 18.01 is released)

Same here, but I think that's because it takes some time for the new Ubuntu releases to be considered stable...

For now its still in development according to them.

That's been the pattern for a few LTS releases.
