 CircleCI will do most of the work for you. You will need to edit the draft release notes.
 
 Please change the version number as appropriate.  Substitute (for example)
-`3.20.0` any place you see `VERSION` in this doc.
+`v3.28.0` any place you see `$VERSION` in this doc.
 
 ## Step 1. Rebuild generated files
 
 ```shell
+export VERSION=v3.28.0
 git checkout master
 git pull
-go generate
+go fmt ./...
+go generate ./...
 go mod tidy
-git add -A
-git commit -m "Update generated files for VERSION"
+git commit -a -m "Update generated files for $VERSION"
 ```
 
-This will update the following generated files:
-
-* `commands/types/dnscontrol.d.ts`
-
 ## Step 2. Tag the commit in master that you want to release
 
 ```shell
-git tag -a v3.20.0
+export VERSION=v3.28.0
+git tag -m "Release $VERSION" -a $VERSION
 git push origin --tags
