Can't speak to the external recorder  option, haven't used it myself.  
As to  the status of 0.28, my household has been running it for a couple 
of months now with *no **real issues.

* I'm actually about a month behind master right now, haven't had time 
to push any recent updates from my test system(s) to the house's network.

** Had a issue with a few isolated easily avoidable things, but they've 
been resolved in master, just haven't fixed them on my system yet.
