How to upgrade Ubuntu 11.04 to 12.04

I didn't see this asked elsewhere here, but how does one go about this? I did sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade on a laptop last night but it did not upgrade up to the latest release as I expected. What do I need to do?

In other words: why did it do a partial-upgrade instead of a release-upgrade?

apt-get update updates the package manager cache of what packages are available. apt-get upgrade upgrades packages that are already installed to newer versions. Neither upgrades to a new release. For that you need to either use the gui update manager, or do-release-upgrade.

You also can not skip releases except from LTS to LTS, so you must first upgrade to 11.10, then to 12.04.
