Inkscape 0.48.1 is a stability and bugfix release. For a complete list of bugs fixed in 0.48.1, see the Launchpad milestone page.

Many small regressions in the node tool were fixed. Here are some examples:

Shift will turn off snapping in the node tool. Bug #588628
Duplication of nodes in the node tool using Shift+D works again. Bug #555449
Changing all selected segments into straight lines in the node tool using Shift+L works again. Bug #532905
Changing the type of nodes to cusp will retract their handles only if all selected nodes are already cusp. This improves usability when working with selections that contain both cusp and smooth nodes.

Exporting of masks has been substantially improved in all Cairo-based output formats.
Several crash bugs in the node tool have been fixed. Bug #544599, Bug #591986, Bug #605575
Rulers are redrawn properly with recent versions of GTK. Bug #627134
Unlinking an orphaned clone no longer causes a crash. Bug #675309
Problems with extensions sometimes not working at all on Mac OS X have been fixed. Bug #482993
Inkscape should no longer crash due to missing icons at startup or when opening the document properties dialog. Bug #658055, Bug #651678
Shift-clicking on the top rounding handle of a rectangle will no longer cause a crash. Bug #680520
Inkscape builds correctly with recent versions of Poppler. Bug #676271

Stamping in the node tool does not work.
Closing an unchanged document that contains connectors might ask to save, as if the document was modified. Pressing Ctrl+Z before closing will avoid bringing up the dialog.
