Probably only in past release notes.  If it's not obvious, we're in
bad need of good documentation writer.  Volunteers welcome.

That's the new, initial rule dialog.  It has nothing to do with
templates.  Basically, if the selected program is not generic, you'll
get one of two "Record one showing" options.  If it's a series, you'll
get a "Record one showing (this episode)" option.  If it's a movie,
you'll get a plain "Record one showing" option because there shouldn't
be any other "episodes".

FYI, the "(this episode)" text and the "(this channel)" part of the
"Record all showings" option text are meant to be a subtle hint that
filters are involved.
