Interesting! Before the release I asked in #macdev if anyone could 
provide me with a reason to allow disabling of auto indent -- everyone 
was opposed to removing that option (coders generally want options even 
for stuff they would never use ;) ), but none could give me an example 
in which it was useful (to disable it), so I removed it.

Three months have passed, and this is the first I hear about the option 
missing :)

You can disable auto indent. But you'll need to quit TextMate and open 
up Terminal.app and paste this (one line):

defaults write com.macromates.textmate OakTextViewAutoIndentEnabled 
-bool NO

Then it will be disabled (the next time you start TM). To enable it 
again you'll need to do the same, but this time with YES.

You're welcome, and I'll do my best! :)
