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.
