 Uploading
 ---------
 
-Upload the files to SourceForge (the simplest is to scp them to
-sfusername,wxwindows@frs.sf.net:/home/frs/project/w/wx/wxwindows/x.y.z) and to
-ftp.wxwidgets.org (ask Chris to do it).
+Upload the files to SourceForge. This can be done via the web interface or just
+scp to sfusername,wxwindows@frs.sf.net:/home/frs/project/w/wx/wxwindows/x.y.z
+The following files need to be uploaded:
+
+    wxMSW-Setup-2.9.3.exe
+    wxWidgets-x.y.z.7z
+    wxWidgets-x.y.z.tar.bz2
+    wxWidgets-x.y.z.zip
+    wxWidgets-x.y.z_Headers.zip
+    wxWidgets-docs-chm-x.y.z.zip
+    wxWidgets-docs-html-x.y.z.tar.bz2
+    wxWidgets-docs-html-x.y.z.zip
+
+You will need to use the web interface to mark the latest uploaded files as
+being "default downloads" for the appropriate platforms (.zip or .exe for MSW,
+.tar.bz2 for everything else) as otherwise SourceForge would continue to suggest
+people to download old files.
+
+Next, update (at least the versions and SHA1 sums, but maybe more) and upload
+docs/release_files.mdwn and docs/release_binaries.mdwn files. They need to be
+renamed to README.md on SF to be shown when the directory is viewed, i.e. do:
+
+    scp docs/release_files.mdwn \
+        sfuser,wxwindows@frs.sf.net:/home/frs/project/w/wx/wxwindows/x.y.z/README.md

+        sfuser,wxwindows@frs.sf.net:/home/frs/project/w/wx/wxwindows/x.y.z/binaries/README.md
+
+And upload the change log too:
+
+    scp docs/changes.txt \
+        sfuser,wxwindows@frs.sf.net:/home/frs/project/w/wx/wxwindows/x.y.z
