Description

This release:

https://github.com/dolthub/dolt/releases/tag/v0.75.13

overflowed the length that shows on the release page:

https://github.com/dolthub/dolt/releases

Multiple people contacted us looking for a PR number they could not find when searching the releases page.

We need our release notes generator to truncate descriptions down so that we never over-run the allotted space on the releases page.
