+release created is completely relocatable on the file system, and is
+the recommended way to distribute binaries of CouchDB. A release can be
+built by running::
 
-    make distsign
+    make release
 
-The release artifacts can be found in the root source directory.

-The release artifacts can be found in the `etc/windows` directory.
+The release tarball and Erlang CouchDB release commands work on
+Microsoft Windows the same as they do on Unix-like systems. To create
+a full installer, the separate couchdb-glazier repository is required.
+Full instructions are available in that repository's README file.
 
-Until the build system has been improved, you must make sure that you run this
-command from a clean source checkout. If you do not, your test database and log
-files will be bundled up in the release artifacts.

 Getting started with developing
 -------------------------------
 
+For more detail, read the README-DEV.rst file in this directory.

 Basically you just have to install the needed dependencies which are
 documented in the install docs and then run `./configure && make`.
 
 You don't need to run `make install` after compiling, just use
-`./dev/run` to spin up three nodes. There is a haproxy config file in `./rel`.
-Just run: `cd rel && haproxy -f haproxy.cfg`. You will now have a local
-cluster listening on port `5984`.
+`./dev/run` to spin up three nodes. You can add haproxy as a caching
+layer in front of this cluster by running `./dev/run --with-haproxy
+--haproxy=/path/to/haproxy` . You will now have a local cluster
+listening on port `5984`.
 
 For Fauxton developers fixing the admin-party does not work via the button in
 Fauxton. To fix the admin party you have to run `./dev/run` with the `admin`
