Changed handling of blank environment, fixed section handling on command line, cleaned up testing, added release changes

* Changed behavior if environment name is set but empty: now uses default instead of looking for '' environment
* Fixed command line handling: different variables in the same section are now all recognized (see IssueID #5501). The test cases are updated accordingly
