 * Changed
-  * Hardened JSON imports (via [#1132]) 
+  * Log output is less verbose, can be re-enabled via CLI switch `--verbose` ([#158] via [#1131])  
+    Warnings and errors are still displayed as before.  
+    This is considered a non-breaking change, since only informational logs and debug information is affected.
+  * Hardened JSON imports (via [#1132])
+* Added
+  * CLI switch `-v, --verbose` to increase output verbosity ([#158] via [#1131])  
+    May be used multiple times, like `-vvv`.
+  * More logs on info-level (via [#1131])
+  * More logs on debug-level (via [#1131])
