Not automatically you will have to choose to upgrade.

You won't need to reinstall, updating as normal will give you the released article.

Using lsb_release -a in terminal will give you something like this at the moment.


Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu Natty (development branch)
Release: 11.04
Codename: natty

You'll know you are no longer using the Beta when the description line changes by dropping the words.. (development branch).

i'm not talking about upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04. i mean i'm using 11.04 already just the beta version. when 11.04 is officially released will the beta update to the final release?
