If $X is the parameter where the new version is stored,

ed file << EOF g/^version =/s/.*/version = '$X'/ g/^release =/s/.*/release = '$X'/ w q EOF

This assumes $X has a reasonable value, like 1.2.3-foo, and no characters that are special to the ed command interpreter.

If $X is the parameter where the new version is stored,

ed file << EOF g/^version =/s/.*/version = '$X'/ g/^release =/s/.*/release = '$X'/ w q EOF

If $X is the parameter where the new version is stored,

ed file << EOF g/^version =/s/.*/version = '$X'/ g/^release =/s/.*/release = '$X'/ w q EOF

This assumes $X has a reasonable value, like 1.2.3-foo, and no characters that are special to the ed command interpreter.
