+            This release contains the `_freeze` folder generated by Quarto when
+            rendering the docs. You can use this to speed up the rendering
+            process on your local machine by downloading and extracting the
+            `_freeze` folder, then placing it at the root of the project.
+
+            Note that the contents of the `_freeze` folder only hash the
+            contents of the .qmd files, and do not include information about
+            the Julia environment. Thus, each `_freeze` folder is only valid
+            for a given Julia environment, which is specified in the
+            Manifest.toml file included in this release. To ensure
+            reproducibility, you should make sure to use the Manifest.toml file
+            locally as well.
+
+            These releases are not automatically generated. To make an updated
+            release with the contents of the `_freeze` folder from the main
+            branch, you can run the `Create release with _freeze` workflow from
+            https://github.com/TuringLang/docs/actions/workflows/create_release.yml.
