To answer my own question:
rake release VERSION=x.y.z

It should have been easy, since it is well documented in "Building Your
First
Gem With Hoe" by Jacob Harris, only that the slides I found on
http://www.slideshare.net/vishnu... have all the interesting
points (the commands) garbled (like where on the 3rd slide it says gem
build, the slide has DFGHIJLM). Might be a browser problem (I'm on
Firefox on Mac) or a codepage problem.

Luckily I found a PDF version on http://www.nimblecode.com/files/h...

Just for the record.
