First, where QCAD-3.28.2.2 is spread as snapshot?
As far as I know official snapshots are: A) No longer announced; B) Available for Pro licence users in their private download area.
These snapshots never have failed big time and in most cases newer code or patches will live on in further releases.
Or as in the case 3.27.9 >> 3.28.0 the Library Browser was retired for CE and replaced by one for the Pro version.
There is no certainty that all this is bug free but major bug's are handled as soon as they are detected/reported.
e.g:
->
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=9588
The extreme lag in 3.27.7 originated from chopping 480 arcs in 158 line segments each resulting in a hatch boundary defined by 76324 segments.
->
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic. ... 374#p42574
The crash was reproducible and that should be fixed for the next release/snapshot.
-> ...
And then there are still non-critical practical bug's unrelated to newer releases, filed several, some included a fix.

so what is the snapshot and what is the stable release?
As in my reply and confirmed by Andrew these end in
point zero.

QCAD-3.28.2.0 is crashing at the same way of 3.28.2.2
The 3.27.9.0 works fine.
Noop, I can not agree, many users updated to 3.28.x and many even use the 3.28.2.2 snapshot.
I even installed QCAD/CAM 3.28.2 trial aside for the crash mentioned above:
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic. ... 374#p42574
Works just fine on my ancient 32 bit Win7 PC but it remains a limited QCAD/CAM trial.
And then I refer to official releases or snapshots for a specific OS, a specific CPU, with dedicated Qt and/or other specifics.
Under
All Downloads there are 21 choices listed:

Have you even tried to install the official release on your system before saying that it fails big time?
This should be as easy as downloading the correct Pro trial version for your system and remove some files.
See:
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=4668
Did that for this topic, takes about 8min and it works just fine ... Limited as it is only the CE version.
Maybe that is the best way to include it in the repository ... ?
IMHO the compilation from sources failed.
Shot in the dark: If QCAD does startup as you say but fails for executing a command ... What if you startup in debug mode.
Would that tell more than: "
received signal SIGABRT, Aborted."?
As last I can only refer to a reply of Andrew, way back in 2019:
