Check out the safe method to upgrade to the latest version right from the WordPress Dashboard.
Although this upgrade is dedicated for the multi authored blogs I have upgraded my blog to the latest version to be on safe side and make sure that the things stay good when updated frequently and also I am planning to enable guest posts at TechCats you can wait for the official announcement this week.
