This is all well documented on the Ubuntu documentation website:-
For 6.06 to 6.10:-

For 6.10 to 7.04:-

For 7.04 to 7.10:-

General notes:-

In a nutshell the upgrade manager in an LTS release won't automatically
prompt you when there is a newer release available. So on 6.06 you need
to run "gksu update-manager -c" to force it to check. For all (non-LTS)
releases after 6.06 you just run update manager and it will find the new
release and offer an upgrade option to that version.
Cheers,
Al.
