Blender 2.5 Beta Is Here!
(My next post won’t be about Blender, I swear.)
You can now get Blender 2.53, with the bug fixes I’ve been raving about as an official Blender release which last I checked was very stable and quite ready for prime time. (They’ve got to fix the Python API and a few other things before this replaces 2.49 as the main download.)
Open Source FTW!

Does it have already the boolean operations?
We are using Blender to convert Gerber files to GCode, to be able to plot our circuit boards on RepRap

Blender has boolean operations, and even has a nondestructive “Boolean Modifier” to make designing in a method similar to CSG packages more tractable.
However, I should caution you that in any mesh-based modeler, boolean operations are going to run into some difficulty, depending on how many of them you stack on top of one another.
I like your circuit boards! If there isn’t already a way to convert directly from SVG to GCODE, there should be…
EDIT: Take a look at this!
