Before 0.49, the node tool always snapped.
Sorry, I think there is a misunderstood on what we are speaking about. I can't understand what you mean with this. I'm talking about the possibility of enabling and disabling snapping. I don't want to have to turn global snap off to have nodes not snapping, I want to control what nodes do with a button called "node snapping". That's logic for me.
0.48: there is the ability to turn snapping on and off *from* nodes. It is on per default, shift turns it off. Now, 0.49 adds another possibility to turn on/off node snapping, however, it is now no longer possible to only snap *from* nodes without snapping *to* nodes. That is annoying me. It must be very strange to have figured out how to display a grid, and then find out that... "hey! nothing snaps to it! Great program this Inkscape...". And that's because you have to turn on all kinds of snap source+targets per default, so that everything snaps to each other without grid...
I don't see the reason to change 0.48 behavior: snap a node while dragging it, shift disables it quickly. The control you want is: "shift". And we've had that for a long time in Inkscape.
Having control of snap sources can be useful, but only if there are more sources to choose from in the first place. When dragging a node, there is only one source to choose from, so then it's an easy choice, and shift disables snapping.
