Well, first a bit of history:

2012-12-12: backport fix for 985623 -> causes a regression in the snapping behaviour (see this report)

2012-12-17: release of v0.48.4
2012-12-30: Fix for bug #1093739 (snapping regression) -> 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 this report. 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!

We really shouldn't release if we already know it will be a downgrade
from the previous release.

0.48.2, and I guess he'll never think about upgrading Inkscape again)
