Note the differences among "apt upgrade", "apt-get upgrade",
"apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs" and "apt-get dist-upgrade.
"apt-get upgrade" will not install new packages.
"apt upgrade" will.
"apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs" also will.
"apt-get dist-upgrade" will install new packages, and potentially
remove packages, if the situation requires it. For a simple point
release, it should be vanishingly rare that a package would be
removed, so this is hardly ever needed. But "dist-" is a lot easier to
type and to remember than "--with-new-pkgs", so people tend to use it
as a synonym.
