3. Create a new tag for the release in github based on the assigned version number
4. Download the .zip and tar.gz tags and upload each as a new Latest Stable Release download with the release date in parentheses
5. Remove the previous Latest Stable Release download links
6. Release to production nodes
7. Release to sandbox node
8. Update the list of known nodes to reflect the release each node is running
