 When cutting a release, follow this checklist:
 
-1. Ensure that all version strings are up to date.
-   Currently this means checking `common/ferrostar/Cargo.toml`, `Package.swift`, and `android/build.gradle`.
-2. Create a GitHub release and use the new version as the tag name (not that it must be in X.Y.Z format to please SPM).
-3. Sit back and watch. GitHub actions take care of the rest.
+1. Run `./update-release-version.sh X.Y.Z` with the new version string. Note that this is currently macOS-specific given the vagaries of GNU sed.
+2. Commit staged changes and push.
+3. Create a GitHub release and use the new version as the tag name (not that it must be in X.Y.Z format to please SPM).
+4. Sit back and watch. GitHub actions take care of the rest.
    Note that iOS CI ends up adding a commit due to the way binary checksumming works.
