Drill Pecking (G73, G83) and pocket milling (G12, G13) are just partially completed and are still on TODO list in ChangeLog.txt
I just ran some gcode to drill a deep hole using peck drilling, but instead it just plunged straight to the bottom of the hole (no pecking). It simulates fine in my CAM software. Here is the script I used:
Code:(1001) (T1 D=4. CR=0. TAPER=118DEG - ZMIN=-18. - DRILL) G90 G94 G91.1 G40 G49 G17 G21 (DRILL2) M5 M9 T1 M6 S4850 M3 G54 G0 A0. M900 G0 X0. Y0. G43 Z20. H1 Z15. G98 G83 X0. Y0. Z-18. R5. Q2. F485. G80 Z20. M901 M30

Thanks, I read this a while ago and slapped myself for not reading the TODO.
Is there a timeframe for the peck drilling? That is the only thing stopping me from actually switching to TNGv2, all the other improvements make it worth switching.
Peck drilling G73 and G83) is implemented and should be released tomorrow.
(Assuming there will be new version tomorrow because I'm still struggling with some context restore issues.)
