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 :)
Does anyone know if there's a way to turn off auto-indenting of new lines
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! :)
