Description
This probably requires bumping the rec file format version (RECOVERY_V in params.h), so it needs to be coordinated with master. And this change alone most likely isn't a good enough reason to bump the .rec file version. So may be we should keep this in mind when the version needs to be bumped anyway.
The struct status_main definition in status.h would also need to be adjusted.
Currently, when running ./john --status, the two decimals of the reported progress will always be 00.
Would be nice to get the same level of detail you get when pressing any key or with kill -s USR1 <pid>.
Worth discussing on john-dev?
