 Fixes
+ * Do not raise an Error reading H5MD files with datasets like
+   `observables/<particle>/<property>` (part of Issue #4598, PR #4615)
  * Fix PSFParser error when encoutering string-like resids
  * (Issue #2053, Issue #4189 PR #4582)
  * Fix `MDAnalysis.analysis.align.AlignTraj` not accepting writer kwargs
