I wish to upgrade to the latest LTS version of Ubuntu and since the first point release has been released in images yesterday and I am using the main server I expected I would be able to update but after
Code:
sudo do-release-upgrade
I get
Code:
No new release found
What is going on here? Everything is in order but I still can't update.

Not sure why but as an alternative, download, burn to disk and upgrade from that.

This happened to me, IIRC you needed to input the new REPOs. I'm not home at the moment but its something to look at.

You might want to wait a few days.
I only did a few clean installs of 16.04, but from what I've heard, the official upgrade won't be available until 16.04.1 release.
According to schedule, it came out yesterday, but it might not be in repo at least for a few more days.

Alternatively you can perform "do-release-upgrade -d" to install the latest dev. release.

If you have any custom init scripts, just keep in mind that 16.04 uses upstart whereas 14.04 uses systemd.

I kind of expected that as soon as the first point release would come out it would be available in the repositories.
