Going a bit OT now but my comment wasn't meant as an "dont upgrade". more of a "there are issues so be aware of them". i personally found 0.25 to be the most stable for live tv. .26 and .27 have long standing niggly issues on my systems (multiple distros and hardware).
With that said, there are new features and those work well - make the upgrade worth it overall.
