Due to me not being able to imagine that problems regarding drawings could be related to the connectivity algorithm, I started digging around a bit. I searched around the sourcecode for a while and it looks a bit confusing regarding some of the Getter functions for returning objects from the board object. The now non-functional method GetDrawings() is actually implemented in pcbnew/swig/board.i and is thus just available from Python.
I guess the reason it broke yesterday is that Tomasz pushed something along his connectivity algorithm that is not (or is it?) related to the connectivity algorithm. Have a look at this commit from 26. Sep 2016 that got pushed along with the stuff yesterday. https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-source-mirror/commit/08314082dbdfdd634b6cdcaeb000b0e4c23adf26#diff-ce7955f5bf51c6f27b918fe0a0fc2b39 It looks like m_Drawings is now private (before it was public), hence the reason for the python-only GetDrawings() failing (I presume). With this change Tomasz also added DrawingsList() instead, with a hint that it will again be deprecated and we should use Drawings() instead. However as jsreynaud pointed out, a Python compatible DLIST_ITERATOR_WRAPPER does not yet exist (or I cannot figure it out). I am unsure whether the changes that Tomasz did were intentional (because they are from last year and I cannot see the relation to the connectivity algorithm) and whether we should completely switch over to DrawingsList() and remove GetDrawings() from pcbnew/swig/board.i with respect to python. Maybe Tomasz can elaborate, because he seem to know some stuff about the mentioned and planned board item storage refactoring.
