 * Fixed a bug causing Point Cloud tiles with unsigned int batch-ids to not load. [#6666](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/pull/6666)
 * Fixed a bug with Draco encoded i3dm tiles, and loading two Draco models with the same url. [#6668](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/issues/6668)
 * Fixed terrain clipping when the camera was close to flat terrain and was using logarithmic depth. [#6701](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/pull/6701)
+* Fixed KML bug that constantly requested the same image if it failed to load. [#6710](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/pull/6710)
 * Fixed an issue where KMLs containing a `colorMode` of `random` could return the exact same color on successive calls to `Color.fromRandom()`.
