Materials release questions

[Drongle McMahon]

I just started using the release viewer with materials and I find some major differences from the last dev/beta I was using. Specifically...

1) If the normal map is set to "Brightness", the shiny and environment spinners no longer have any effect. Instead, both appear to be stuck on maximum setting.

2) You can no longer set the repeats of the normal map independently. Instead they are fixed to those set for the diffuse map. Changing them while vieweing the normal map (selected in the dropdown) has no effect.

Between them, these effects have ruined all the objects I made with materials. It looks as if there are other changes too. I am too depressed to investigate further. Does anyone know whether these were intentional changes?
