3D stencil and KiCad 8.0.4

[set-soft]

I tested KiCad 8.0.4 (not 8.0.5 yet) and the plot controller changed its behavior, IMHO a nasty bug. Now the drill marks are visible in places where you don't have a pad (before they were invisible, white over white), but now they aren't visible where you have a pad (doing zoom you can see something, but useless if you print it). The result is a damaged 3D stencil.

This is the stencil generated using KiCad 6 to 8.0.3:

And this is the one generated by 8.0.4:

In both cases KiKit is 1.6.0.

Is this a KiCad feature or a bug? Any plans to fix it on KiKit?

Thanks for letting me know! I will explore this and I will try to trace the reason for the change in KiCAD.

Investigating the source of the problem when using KiDiff I found the source is that KiCad 8.0.4 now draws the drill marks for all layers, not just copper layers.
When using monochrome the marks are white for copper layers and black for the other layers. Just asking for the Edge.Cuts you now get the drill marks. The solution is to disable drill marks before plotting the Edge.Cuts and other technical layers.

I think the important change is the color that makes the visible, and I guess is confusing some KiKit filtering

#734 is enough to get the old stencil
