Relative image paths are no longer stored as absolute (regression introduced with 0.47).
Many rendering glitches were fixed.
The rendering of the stroke on transformed objects now matches the SVG specification.
Values entered in the numeric input boxes for the selector tool (X, Y, width, height) are much more accurately applied.

NB for anybody using BLFS from before mid-October, cairo-1.14.0 is needed. 
But comments in the inkscape archives [http://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/message/33245744/] suggest cairo needs to be patched (or sedded), see e.g. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85591
