 ## [Unreleased - 0.9.2+snapshot]
 ### Fixed
+- #682 When enabling IPM in a namespace using local IPM caches, check for existence of `<iris-root>/lib/ipm/` beforing querying it.
+- #682 Use more standard wording of mapping when enabling IPM
 - #681 Convert specified namespaces to upper case for `enable` and `unmap` commands.
 - #680 Always export static files (README.md, LICENSE, requirements.txt) if existent
 
+### Changed
+- #682 When downloading IPM via the `enable` command from a remote registry, allow user to pass in the registry name (or get the only existent one), instead of the deployment enabled registry.
+
