In previous versions of RepG, when I hit the build button (the arrow pointing at the jelly bean), I was presented with a window with options for layer height, infill, etc. Now, it simply proceeds directly to slicing and then building the model.
The only way I can set those options is by hitting the "Model to G Code" button (arrow pointing to a g). Then, even if I make a gcode file using the Model button, hitting the build button reslices the model (though using the settings I specified).
I can't seem to find a way to tell RepG to use a ready-made gcode file. Nor can I get it to pop up the dialouge regarding the settings. This is all very annoying as I am unsure what settings it is actually using for the build.
Thanks for your help!

go to preferences, it's a setting there

Disable the : "automatically regenerate gcode when building from model view"

New preference in the settings for RepG, as well as new behavior. If you build from the gcode window it will always just execute the file, whereas building from the model view has the default set to generate new gcode before running.

Good god.  I looked at that option like six times and totally ignored it.  Thank you so much!  It was driving me nuts!

Thank you for the advice.  
I finally found the option after staring at that option about 20 times.  Good thing it didn't have fangs, poison and a desire to kill me.  I'd be dead 20 times over.
