 # Change Log
 
+### 1.76 - 2020-12-01
+
+##### Fixes :wrench:
+
+- Fixed an issue where tileset styles would be reapplied every frame when a tileset has a style and `tileset.preloadWhenHidden` is true and `tileset.show` is false. Also fixed a related issue where styles would be reapplied if the style being set is the same as the active style. [#9223](https://github.com/CesiumGS/cesium/pull/9223)
