Well, first a bit of history:
2012-12-12: backport fix for 985623http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Einkscape.dev/inkscape/RELEASE_0_48_BRANCH/revision/9938-> causes a regression in the snapping behaviour (see this https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1093739/comments/10 report) 2012-12-17: release of v0.48.4 2012-12-30: Fix for bug #1093739 (snapping regression)http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Einkscape.dev/inkscape/RELEASE_0_48_BRANCH/revision/9941-> will be included in v0.48.5
So the question is: when will v0.48.5 be released?
What's still remaining is that in 0.48.4 also some changes were backported from trunk which affect the snapping of very large selections (in which case some kind of a convex hull is being calculated), see thishttps://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1093739/comments/10report. This should have been improved too in rev. 9947, which I just committed to the v0.48.x branch.
I'm not aware of any other snapping regression in v0.48.x branch.

I'm working on it. Expect a fix over the weekend!

As for merging stuff like the grids/guides branch, if you feel okay with merging that as is and if it's complete enough to not break anything, please feel free to merge it. This is a refactoring cycle and we have 11 blockers for a release with some of those probably waiting until late summer for Krzysztof to work on them. I also have to throw out that I still don't believe the cairo folk have added the api hooks to utilize the new pixman bitmap scaling stuff... so we may still be waiting a bit on upstream.
Jasper's recent temporary solution of scaling the image on our side, then using Cairo only to rotate / skew might be acceptable for the common case of embedding photos.
We really shouldn't release if we already know it will be a downgrade from the previous release.

Shortly after I received a mail telling me that he could no longer get grid-snapping to work (anybody working on fixing the very broken settings system and restoring the previous behavior?) and that memory usage had exploded, so he went back to 0.48.2, and I guess he'll never think about upgrading Inkscape again)
