Mythtv development is ongoing, I have been running 0.28pre (i.e. Master from git ) for months. Note running from Master is not recommended unless you can handle the odd breakage which will happen during development.

Also 0.28 is getting close to being released - target 1st February 2016 - see :

I would suggest you run 0.27.5 it will be supported after 0.28 has been released.

And finally yes you can modify mythtv recording rules, the options are vast, but the defaults work well for most. The area I tend to modify are the start and end padding times (some broadcasters are not known for sticking closely to schedules), also sports events have been known to overrun by a lot, so you may want special rules for sports events.
