Here we go - some info from release notes:
(Scroll down to the bottom of the post to read some additional info from me)
Gordian Knot GPL
==========================================================
Be aware that 0.28 is not an upgrade release! You have to install the following packs in order to get it working (and it's probably good idea to delete previous installation directory):
GordianKnot.CodecPack.x.x.exe contains all codecs and playback
filters you need. (after installing new codec always review default
settings of the codec on option tab)
GordianKnot.RipPack.x.x.Setup.exe contains all applications,
plugins and docs.
FULLY INSTALL BOTH PACKS and you are ready to encode.
(well you can omit non-used codecs from codec pack)
Known problems (both audio related):
1)
audio-bitrates below 128 (in lame) can cause sync-problems (and sound terrible), because lame is automatically downsampling to 32 or even 22kHz. i highly recommend to use 128 or 160 and nothing else. to
avoid downsampling you have to add "--resample 48" to your lame commandline options if you encode at low bitrates.
2)
if you use CBR mp3 you might get your sound out of synch towards the end of a movie. This will only be resolved when VirtualDubMod 1.5.x is released (GK 0.28.1 will be relesed for that). In the meantime you can use AviMux_GUI to mux CBR mp3 in case you have problems.

Special thanks to:
- Doom9 for guides and the best web site: www.doom9.org
- TheWEF for building GK in the first place
- aquaplanning & maurus for help coding new version
- SubConscious, irasnyd, epere4 for making installers
- Eyal Matzkel for new icons
- the rest of forum.doom9.org (and SF section) for help with testing,
suggestions & feature requests.

==========================================================
Change log history:
GK 0.28 GPL:
- added support for any Divx5 & XviD codecs (including compressibility check)
- added support for default codec settings (on options tab)
- works only with VirtualDubMod now
- Avisynth 2.5x based now (i.e. working in YV12 mode)
- crop is now compliant with YV12 (i.e. mod2 width, mod4 height)
- more resize filters added: lanczos resize (default)
- more deinterlace filters added: bob, TomsMoComp, FieldDeinterlace(blend=false)
- changed default noise filters
- auto split feature added - final file can be split into chunks of predefined size
(thanks aquaplanning for providing key-finding routines)
- added support for CBR MP3 (both encoding & muxing)
- fully BeSweet based audio processing (no more other executables)
- some tabs are hidden by default(nandub, stats, file editor), info & donation tabs removed
- Video window settings are persistent across diffrent runs of GK
- Save Avs settings are persistent across one run of GK
- added HalfCD size button & size can be adjusted by 1 Mb
- VSfilter is used for subs processing in AVS (because of YV12 mode)
- VDubMod & NanDub are started in script mode rather than batch mode
- VDubMod is now always used for muxing/splitting
- Save and Save&Encode buttons in both SaveAVS and Edit windows
proposed names for Frameserver script and for Credits Framserver
script (Movie.avs and Movie_Credits.avs). (thanks Maurus)
- Tittles for the Edit script window, adapted to the frameserver that it is edited (titles: Avisynth Frameserver, Avisynth Credits Frameserver and Avisynth comp.test Frameserver). (thanks maurus)
- lots of cosmetics (Including new icons - thanks to Eyal Matzkel )
- lost of 0.27 bugs fixed
====================================================
I'll be away for the next two weeks, so nothing probably will be fixed during that time. I strongly suggest that after you discovered a bug and confirmed with others here that it is a bug - someone submits it to the SF, since I will not be scanning the forum afterwards... The same goes for feature suggestions: if you feel that you didn't have response about request - put in on SF requests section.
I hope seniors will take good care of newbie attacks after 0.28 release here :) (There are lots of questions that can be considered as FAQ already...)
Have fun ripping!
