Ubuntu 18.04.1 is available now, so running `sudo do-release-upgrade`
should work now.

Usually you want to check the Ubuntu blog, or you can subscribe to the
Ubuntu Announce mailing list
(http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-announce).

The actual 18.04.1 announcement is available here:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2018-July/000234.html

You should only see a notification if you are running a DE. I believe
you will not see it on a terminal.

Cheers.
