 ### Update the Github Pages (as needed)
 
+___Note: This is going to change right after 2.0___
+
 Github pages have to exist in a branch called `gh-pages` in order for their app to serve them. This repo adds that branch as a submodule under the `pages` directory. This is a bit of a hack, but it allows us to work with the pages and the source at the same time and with one set of rake tasks.
 
 If you want to submit changes to this repo and aren't a Pivotal Labs employee, you can fork and work in the `gh-pages` branch. You won't be able to edit the pages in the submodule off of master.
 
-The pages are built with [Frank](https://github.com/blahed/frank). All the source for these pages live in the `pages/pages_source` directory.

 ## Release
 
 When ready to release - specs are all green and the stories are done:
 
-1. Update the version in `version.json` to a release candidate - add a `release_candidate` property with a value of 1
-1. Update any comments on the public interfaces 
+1. Update the version in `package.json` to a release candidate
 1. Update any links or top-level landing page for the Github Pages
-1. `thor jasmine_dev:release_prep` - updates the version, builds the `.js` files, builds the standalone release, and builds the Github pages
-1. `rake release` - tags the repo with the version, builds the `jasmine-core` gem, pushes the gem to Rubygems.org
+1. Build the standalone distribution with `grunt buildStandaloneDist`
+1. Make sure you add the new ZIP file to git
+1. Copy version to the Ruby gem with `grunt build:copyVersionToGem`
+1. __NOTE__: You will likely need to point to a local jasmine gem in order to run tests locally. _Do not_ push this version of the Gemfile.
+1. __NOTE__: You will likely need to push a new jasmine gem with a dependent version right after this release.
+1. Push these changes to GitHub and verify that this SHA is green
+1. `rake release` - tags the repo with the version, builds the `jasmine-core` gem, pushes the gem to Rubygems.org. In order to release you will have to ensure you have rubygems creds locally.
