Awesome, thanks for the pointer Craig. Also, next time we go through a release process, I think we should write a step-by-step flow of the process so anyone can repeat it.
Kalle did a beautiful job getting us through our first release, but I don't think I could brainlessly repeat it (yet). I'm a big fan of making guides like this to essentially eliminate human error (or accidental omission) so that anyone can do the process, even if they're completely new to it.
