Nothing changed with the part splitter between BETA and production. Can you provide more details about your workflow?

Re: What happened to "select part to split"?
Then I can only assume it's a difference between Standard and Professional, since the beta version was Pro.
When I used the splitter there a dialog would pop up, where I could set the angle tolerance for the face selection. If I'd click a face it'd be highlighted in blue, and executing the split would separate that face from the body.
I don't get that in standard.
I want to be able to assign another material to the cylindrical holes:
Body selected, clicking "select part to split".
Here's where the dialog box used to appear in beta. Now all of the body's faces are split instead.
I now have to select all the faces that I DIDN'T want to be separated, and merge them.
I can now select the cylindrical faces separately, and assign them their own material.

Sounds like your Facet Angle Tolerance may have changed. That would affect the sensitivity of the part splitter and ultimately determine where its just a single triangle you're selecting to split out vs. the whole part. Try adjusting the Facet Angle Tolerance when the part splitter wizard window is open.

But I don't get any splitter wizard window opening anymore post-beta... That's the whole point. It just splits the whole part as soon as I click "select part to split".

Try enabling the blue Part Selection tool from the main Toolbar, then right click in the Viewport on the part you want to split and select Extract Part.
Although your workflow should also bring up the Part Splitter wizard, try my recommendation above and let us know if it works.
