I am happy to announce new cmus release, containing a lot of work by the members of the community, most notably @pgaskin and @gavtroy. Full changelog is below, but some of the highlights are:

• #1317 and #1318: UI refresh, with updated statusline, more configurability, and a progress bar.
  If you would like to revert to the old look, you have to explicitly re-configure format_statusline, altformat_playlist, format_trackwin_album, format_trackwin and format_trackwin_va

  Also, README now contains an updated list of dependencies for most of popular distributions
