Small material assigning feature:

in EditButtons, panel "Links and Materials", there's now a browse button
to directly assign a material to selected faces. It does:

- check if material was already in one of the 'slots' of the object
- if so, then use this as index to assign
- if not, then add a new slot, and assign the new index
