+title: Better logs for XCM emulator
+
+doc:
+  - audience: Runtime Dev
+    description: |
+      Now the XCM emulator has a log every time `execute_with` is called, to know
+      which chain is being used.
+      Also, the logs for UMP, DMP, HRMP processing were included in the `xcm` log filter
+      and changed from showing the message as an array of bytes to a hex string.
+      This means running the tests with `RUST_LOG=xcm` should give you everything you need,
+      you can always filter by `RUST_LOG=xcm::hrmp` or any other if you need it.
