It is entirely intentional. It is to make you think about what you  
want to release, and to make sure that you've updated the variable to  
match that. The code that this came from would also verify that my  
History.txt file matches as well, but I haven't enforced that in hoe  
yet.

Hrm. I think rake treats env vars and arg vars the exact same way,  
but it may not, so try it like:

rake release VERSION=x.y.z
