You don't need to do anything special. Just update your PC either using the Upgrade Manager (how you normally get updates) or use the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
There isn't anything special about the point releases, they are just bundled updates. It's more for when you download an iso, so it will have more of the updates already.
I decided to drop Mark Shuttleworth a comment on his blog.
My Question:
Mark – its not clear what the LTS upgrade strategy is beyond 12.04.
i.e. – could a 12.04 business jump to 16.04 directly – i.e. plan to
upgrade in 4 years time?
and Mark's response:
We support LTS-to-LTS upgrades, so yes, you could stay on 12.04 LTS,
then move to 16.04 LTS (in our current testing plan we would test the
migration from 12.04 to 14.04 and then to 16.04, not directly).
Thus, any business on 12.04 LTS staying for 4 to 5 years, their upgrade plan would be first 14.04 LTS and staying with that for the 3-4 years that LTS gives, or to plan a double upgrade - 14.04 and then 16.04.
