• Fix a potential crash in the C++ API (#91, @jimhester).

progress 1.2.0

• Option to change the 'current' character in the progress bar. #47

• All progress bars (including the ones from the C++ API) can be turned off via the progress_enabled option #44

• The stream argument is deprecated and the progress bar is always printed with message() calls.

• Outputs greater than the bar width are automatically trimmed, @jimhester.
