What happened to the status bar?

Updated to 1.5.1, and it seems to have mostly addressed the speed issue, unfortunately it seems to have nixed the status bar at the bottom, like in this sshot: http://nothirst.com/images/MW_WindowAllTransactions.png
That was very handy at-a-glance information, digging around I can't find it anymore, is it gone?

There are now several places to get this type of summary information ...
1) If you click on "All Accounts" at the top of the left pane, you get a mini-net worth view that sums up the balances of all your accounts. You can configure which accounts are included in this list by clicking on that account in the left pane and checking the "Include in account summary" checkbox over in the right pane.
2) If you click on the "All Transactions" smart bucket, you get the total balance of all your buckets compared to the total balance of all your cash flow accounts, along with the difference. You can configure which accounts are included in this list by clicking on that account in the left pane and checking the "Include in bucket summary" checkbox over in the right pane.
3) If you select multiple transactions in the register (by holding down shift or command), the right pane will show you the count, sum, and reconciled sum of those transactions.
Hope that helps.

Hmm, none of those show what that status bar shows. Unfortunately the screen shot has changed to the new version as well.
The status bar showed the balance vs. the reconciled balance. How does one know the total reconciled balance for the account?

I think the reconciled balance is gone at the moment, but Kevin said he wanted to bring it back somehow.

Nick: We will bring back the reconciled balance in one of the upcoming updates.

Doesn't selecting an account and pressing Cmd+A to select all transactions accomplish this (i.e. #3 from my post above)? At least for me this shows a "Sum" (which matches the current balance of my account, assuming no open/pending transactions) and a "Reconciled" total (which matches my account's reconciled balance). Not as obvious as the status bar in 1.4, but pretty quick to get to when you need it.
