Nobody has answered this question

Note the word version, NOT release

Given that there has been talk of a new release in the spring, you would 
not expect too many substantial changes between now and then

This is one of my biggest annoyances with Myth, some great work is done, 
but the release schedule is WAY too long given that almost nothing is 
backported. For example, when the new channel+1 stations were introduced 
in the UK myth started getting very confused and recording both programs 
with the only way to prevent this was to set "one per day" which then 
caused other scheduling issues. The is a solution, you use the great 
series/program id stuff, but this is only in the dev version.

It's so sad that the great work done on myth takes so long to see the 
light of day for most users. Given the fast moving pace of multimedia 
stuff myth should get new features released once every 6 months.
