You probably mean this set of patches:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/pcb/+bug/699497
... but it broke the "minimum distance" path optimization,
This was fixed the day you mentioned it. Perhaps a day later :-)

- Is there a way to break up the drill file so that I can switch
bits? I'm getting by with using one bit for all vias, but it is not
ideal.
With the above patchset, drills are sorted by diameter and marked
with comments, so it isn't too difficult to hand-edit the G-Code
file. You can get G81 drill cycles with "advanced g-code" or a
replacement using G0/G1 by default.
- I'm struggling with cut lines. Specifically, cutting out the
mounting holes and the circuit board edges.
The patchset also introduces milling the outline layer, if only a
rectangle one for now. Holes can be drill-milled, so the most common
cases go automatically.
For more complex cases, make one layer for each type of milling, then
export with only that layer visible. Layers in the solder/bottom
group are mirrord, others not. Repeat for each milling case. Not
exactly ideal, but a more general approach quickly becomes pretty
complex.
Oh, and I hope the patchset still applies, it was last adjusted on
march 7th.
