It hasn't changed. Selective Sync has always worked this way. Dropbox only syncs the files and folders you place in the Dropbox folder, and you can use Selective Sync (the window in your first screenshot) to remove the local copy of a folder while leaving it in your account online.
... I do have other dirs I would like to make available to other computers. Directories like shared notes and shared designs, etc.Move those folders into the Dropbox folder and they'll sync to your other devices.
