I am so happy this was finally released. This update fixed a few major memory leaks they were having in the last release. I love Inkscape but that was unbearable. There was a problem with the color droplet tool, simply moving it around increased your memory usage by folds. A smaller one that became annoying overtime was simply dragging objects around on the grid. The nightly build had that one fixed awhile back but my OS didn't seem to want to play ball with it so I just ended up having to deal with these issues, now I hopefully don't have to.

That's great news that they fixed the memory leaks. Inkscape used to be dangerous to leave open because it would randomly hang your system.
