 * Fixed a bug with rotated, textured rectangles. [#4430](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/pull/4430)
 * Fixed a bug when morphing from 2D to 3D. [#4388](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/pull/4388)
 * Added `Rectangle.simpleIntersection`.
+* Added the ability to specify retina options, such as `@2x.png`, via the `MapboxImageryProvider` `format` option.
 * Removed an unnecessary reprojection of Web Mercator imagery tiles to the Geographic projection on load.  This should improve both visual quality and load performance slightly.
