+
+## Releasing a New Version
+
+Follow these steps to create a new release with auto-updates:
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+<!-- - Apple Developer Account with valid certificates -->
+
+- Homebrew packages: `brew install create-dmg sparkle`
+- Make scripts executable: `chmod +x scripts/update_version.sh scripts/build_release.sh`
+
+### Release Process
+
+1. **Update the version number:**
+
+   ```bash
+   # For bug fixes (1.0 → 1.0.1):
+   ./scripts/update_version.sh patch
+
+   # For new features (1.0 → 1.1):
+   ./scripts/update_version.sh minor
+
+   # For major changes (1.0 → 2.0):
+   ./scripts/update_version.sh major
+
+   # For custom version:
+   ./scripts/update_version.sh custom 1.2.0
+   ```
+
+2. **Build the release:**
+
+   ```bash
+   ./scripts/build_release.sh
+   ```
+
+   This will:
+
+   - Clean build the app in Release mode
+   - Create a signed DMG file
+   - Generate the appcast.xml for auto-updates
+
+3. **Create GitHub Release:**
+
+   - Go to [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/owengretzinger/notetaker/releases)
+   - Click "Create a new release"
+   - Tag: `v1.0.1` (match the version number)
+   - Title: `Notetaker v1.0.1`
+   - Upload the DMG from `releases/` folder
+   - Write release notes describing changes
+
+4. **Update appcast:**
+
+   ```bash
+   git add appcast.xml
+   git commit -m "Update appcast for v1.0.1"
+   git push
+   ```
