"release" command from sbt-release plugin is not recognized

I can't get the sbt-release plugin to work at all. The "sbt release" command is not recognized.

As per plugin's documentation, I have this entry added to my ./project/plugins.sbt file in my play application:

addSbtPlugin("com.github.gseitz" % "sbt-release" % "0.8.5")

And I'm running the latest to-date 0.13.6 version of sbt launcher. Here's the error that I get when I execute "sbt release" from my project directory:

[info] Loading project definition from /Users/Projects/project
[info] Loading [pom.xml]
[info] Use auto-generated Build object
[success] POM definition loaded
[info] Set current project to integration (in build file:/Users/Projects/project/)
[error] Not a valid command: release (similar: reload, eclipse, last)
[error] Not a valid project ID: release
[error] Expected ':' (if selecting a configuration)
[error] Not a valid key: release (similar: rpmRelease, rpm-release, resolvers)
[error] release
[error]        ^

And just to make sure, that sbt-release plugin does get loaded into the project, I execute "sbt about", and it does show that sbt-release is in the list of Available Plugins. But again, for some reason, "sbt release" command is not recognized.

> sbt about
...
[info] Available Plugins: ... sbtrelease.ReleasePlugin, ...

As per sbt-release plugin documentation, added this line into my build.sbt file, and it did it! "sbt release" command is now being recognized.

releaseSettings

For some reason, it did not work for me the first time I tried it earlier. Something must have been going on in my environment or earlier version of my build.sbt file.
