WordPress 2.7.1 was released late in the day yesterday. It’s a maintenance release as opposed to a security release, so you don’t need to rush to upgrade, but it does fix 68 bugs, which is always a good thing. Assuming you’ve already upgraded to 2.7 (if not, why haven’t you?) all you need to do is go to Tools>Upgrade and it will upgrade your blog in seconds.
The upgrade feature may not work for everyone depending on your host, but it should work for most major hosts. You can check to see if your host is on the list here. The upgrade feature works for all Swank Web Hosting clients, but feel free to contact us if you need help or if you haven’t upgraded to 2.7 yet and would like to. All Swank Web Hosting clients get free WP upgrades!

what happens of you skip 2.7.1 and a new security release version is release? will it upgrade to 2.7.1 then to 2.7.2 or go from 2.7 to 2.7.2 in one go?

2.7.2 will have all the fixes from 2.7.1 plus whatever new things they fixed so if you skip this upgrade you’ll get all the same fixes in the next upgrade. So yes, it would go to 2.7 to 2.7.2.
