     Library
     -------
-    - Fixed a cache assert with too-large metadata objects
+    - Fixed a cache assert with very large metadata objects
 
-      If the library tries to load a metadata object that is above the
-      library's hard-coded limits, the size will trip an assert in debug
-      builds. In HDF5 1.14.4, this can happen if you create a very large
-      number of links in an old-style group that uses local heaps.
+      If the library tries to load a metadata object that is above a
+      certain size, this would trip an assert in debug builds. This could
+      happen if you create a very large number of links in an old-style
+      group that uses local heaps.
+
+      There is no need for this assert. The library's metadata cache
+      can handle large objects. The assert has been removed.
 
       Fixes GitHub #3762
