Hi All!

I guess this is intentional, but just in case. Testing 7.99 I found a
change in the gerbers for the Adhesive layer.

If this is on purpose: Why? So I can document it (note: I used the
attributes to detect if the adhesive was there for certain components)

Are you plotting X2 in 7.99?

Yes:

        po.SetUseGerberX2format(True)
        po.SetIncludeGerberNetlistInfo(True)

The settings for 6 and 7.99 are identical

You'll need to file a bug report with the project you are working on.  Test projects here output the attributes correctly in 7.99

Ok, I just wanted to know if this was on purpose.

Note that this is for the Adhesive layer, I get the attributes in the Paste layer.

I tried 7.99.0-unknown-ca0e57f036~170~ubuntu22.10.1 today and the problem is fixed.
