To update the download links, on master branch edit src/site/xdoc/downloads.xml After you commit and push, jenkins will build the site and publish it for you.
To update the API Docs and version specific reference guide, update src/site/site.xml with a new section to link to the docs in the drop down list. (only necessary the first time, but it hasn't been done yet for 1.4.x) Then git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/hbase-site.git and make a 1.4 directory there. Copy contents of the docs/ directory from the release tarball to the version directory. Copy target/site/devapidocs and testapidocs from a local build of the tag, since those don't get published in the release tarball. Commit your changes, then do an empty commit with message "INFRA-10751 Empty commit" Push your changes, then pray. Also, if these work for you then consider updating either http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#website_publish or the post-release instructions for people in the future.
