For some strange reason, the 14.04 release is not showing up for me with "sudo do-release-upgrade". I have tried to update my primary software source to their main server and main for the US, and both did not show the availability of the new release.

As a friendly reminder, if you want to download the release as quickly as possible, use the torrent from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads and be sure to seed for others.

It is by design!

Upgrades between LTS releases are not enabled by default until the first point release, 14.04.1, scheduled for July. It is recommended that most LTS users wait until then before upgrading to 14.04. You could add a '-d' flag if you're in a hurry!

I used the '-d' flag and the release that it showed was the development release. I tried to proceed with the 14.04 development upgrade, but the upgrade failed.
I'm not seeing it either, its not just you. Probably still propagating or something. Hopefully soon!
