Excellent new!! 
BTW the plane do not really "looks" that good
That do not matters anyway!!
A great step froward to exploiting the export potential and also meeting domestic needs.
It will be interesting to know what engine was used. It looks a little different to me than what we are using on our JF17-As Blk-I and Blk-II planes. Also there were talks of a different engine to further improve export prospects.
One more thing to point out here, may be not that significant, is that it is quite different from the model we were shown earlier.
The forward fuselage is a lot shorter and i am not very excited about that (keeping in mind possible radar and IRST).
The LERX seems a bit shorter too but may be this is just the viewing angle, plus the much known larger spine is pretty clear to see and notice.
It is being reported that it features the new 3-axis FBW system.
Anyway, i am happy because this will help the exports, the twin seat variant was mainly envisioned for exports and as LIFT platform for PAF as well as active combat role. The number of hard-points, payload, radar and avionics and engine details will be interesting and will give more idea about its capabilities.
