I like most things there. Specially the pinned colours and the shape builder tool. However there's one thing that worries me:
Node deletion logic changed // Deleting nodes now doesn’t always behave the same, as Inkscape tries to detect whether you want the result to be a straight line connecting the nodes, or whether you want the result to be a round and smooth curve.
I hope that this is configurable. Consistent behaviour is far more important than having the application assume (often incorrectly) that it knows what the user wants.
