 ### Core
 - `lib/message`: `Report()` can now create a Report instance from Event instances (#1225).
-- `lib/bot`: The first word in the log line `Processed ... messages since last logging.` is now adaptible and set to `Forwarded` in the existing filtering bots (#1237).
-- `lib/bot`: Kills oneself again after proper shutdown if the bot is XMPP collector or output (#970). Previously these two bots needed two stop commands to get actually stopped.

 ### Tests

 ### Tools
-- `intelmqctl run` has a new parameter `-l` `--loglevel` to overwrite the log level for the run (#1075).
-- `intelmqdump` has now command completion for bot names, actions and queue names in interacive console.
-- `intelmqdump` automatically converts messages from events to reports if the queue the message is being restored to is the source queue of a parser (#1225).
-- `intelmqdump` is now capable to read messages in dumps that are dictionaries as opposed to serialized dicts as strings and does not convert them in the show command (#1256).
-- `intelmqdump` truncated messages are no longer used/saved to the file after being shown (#1255).
-- `intelmqctl run [bot-id] mesage send` can now send report messages (#1077).
-- `intelmqdump` now again denies recovery of dumps if the corresponding bot is running. The check was broken (#1258).
-- `intelmqdump` now sorts the dump by the time of the dump. Previously, the list was in random order (#1020).
