Great to hear Mike, do you mind if I forward your email along to the development list? I didn't work on that feature myself but am betting those who have would love to hear your feedback.
Thanks, Bryce

i have to tell you that with the measuring tool in the .92, well, i love it. in .91 holding the mouse to make it stay was a pain. but now click click and it stays on its own. with the awesome work you and your team
have
done with this i would never go to a paid program. keep up the good work.

This is a pre-release for the upcoming stable bugfix release 0.92.1. Download it at:
https://inkscape.org/en/download/development-versionsThe release is:
0.92.1pre2 Source Tarball Bzip https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/10661/inkscape-0.92.1pre2.tar.bz2
We are now in final freeze prior to release. Barring any last minute issues, 0.92.1 will be identical to the above tarball except for the version number. We'll let things settle for a few days and hopefully finalize the release this weekend.
And release notes are here:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.92.1
== Translations ==
Translation work is done. Please hold off on further updates until we're ready to start work on 0.92.2.
== Future Releases ==
0.92.2-targeted bugfixing work can begin on the 0.92.x branch once the 0.92.1 tarball's been cut, probably this weekend. A schedule
will
be established at that time as well, targeting a 0.92.2 release in April.
A 0.92.3 release sometime around July seems likely. I'm hoping to continue with subsequent point releases on a roughly 2-3 month
interval,
so users can depend on the 0.92 series as a 'long term stable' (LTS) product.
Work towards 0.93 is already underway in Inkscape's trunk repository. In order to modernize Inkscape for ongoing maintenance, there are several large transitions we need to undertake, including a move to Gtk3, re-engineering the Mac OS X installation packaging,
introduction
of C++-11 code constructs, dropping of our legacy automake build
system,
migration of the project to git, and more. We had elected to hold
off
on these transitions for 0.92 so that release could focus on long
term
stability first and foremost, with 0.93's focus being on taking the
more
aggressive steps to move Inkscape forward.
I am hoping a 0.93 release can be achieved within the calendar year, though much work remains. Assistance with testing is invaluable and
I
hope many people will join in following the trunk codebase; however,
I
know that building Inkscape can be a challenge, and we lack nightly builds on a few platforms, so I may attempt some form of interim snapshot preview release this summer to enable some broader testing before we're too far through 0.93's development cycle.
