Keeping production current.

I run a production DW-powered site and I want to keep it up to date with the latest code fixes and features.

In asking #dreamwidth-dev about following this procedure: http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Dev_Maintenance firefoxfey recommended that I find out what the latest post-release final tag is an update only to that tag to avoid getting untested dev features, but didn't know the procedure. I was advised to ask here and so I am :)

If I want to keep my code current, but reduce the chance of pulling down untested code, how do I find and limit code to the post-release final tag?

Also, Fey suggested making sure that I'm aware of any database changes. Are those announced separate from code pushes?
