 ## Creating a new Stream Engine release
 
+__Note: this is out of date: the new procedure involves creating an updated ooi conda-forge package from the ooi-config repository.__
+
 1. Update preload database submodule (if needed)
 2. Update conda_env.yml with any desired library updates
 3. Update config/default.py with the new version
