The only thing different about the EPG in .15 is the select key 
behavior.  If you press select while a show that is currently on, or 
about to be on is highlited then the channel will change.  If you press 
it on a show that is in the future it will bring up the recording 
options screen.    This behavior can be toggled with a config setting as 
can the time threshold it uses for determining "about to be on".

My main machine that my wife also uses is running CVS build from Sunday 
morning.  I can't say I reccomend running CVS for non developers right 
now though.  There's a few things in a state of flux.  If you have the 
.14 source, my patches should apply cleanly.  Grab them from the dev 
list archives.
