1.
The package name of the class was changed from:

com.newatlanta.commons.vfs.provider.gae.GaeVfsServletEventListener
to
com.newatlanta.appengine.servlet.GaeVfsServletEventListener

However the web.xml that ships with the distribution was (mistakely)
not updated to reflect this change. I just checked-in an updated
web.xml. So the next build will include that change.
In the meantime just edit yours to refer to the new package name.

2.
I enabled the SearchEngineFriendlyURLFilter on purpose since my
current effort of running Commercial BlueDragon's suite of Regression
tests against OpenBD-Google revealed it was needed for some tests to
pass.
It also revealed a bug in that Filter code which I fixed and
checked-in some weeks ago (improved stability of that Filter).
Enabling it adds only a tiny bit of overhead in exchange for making
OpenBD more bulletproof. Is there a specific reason to turn it off?
Is it causing a problem for you?

3.
The CachingDatastoreService is used by GaeVFS, so it must always be enabled.

4.
I don't know about the timing of a point release, but as for improving
the stability of OpenBD... I am currently working to get Commercial
BD's suite of regression tests running (and passing) on OpenBD. Tandem
to that I'll also be merging the OpenBD-GAE branch with OpenBD. The
results should be improved stability of OpenBD.
