Yes this is a very welcome change and I applaud the facebook team for thinking of users first. Anyone seeking to use fb as a platform for monetizing their spammy/crappy applications should start to think twice before unleashing any more ultimate FAIL on us.

the email options aren't new.

but I am glad to see that it's finally an option to black an app. I'm tired of getting the same ones over and over.

in fact, I've already deleted several of my friends (to some of whom I am very close IRL) because of those damn app invites.

There are a bunch of related 'quiz' applications that seem new. They let you take the quiz, and then don't let you see the result without you inviting 20 of your friends. They are trying to get around the forced invites by doing the forcing later on.

It's backfiring on them, because they are getting crappy reviews by springing this on people. (They all get around 1.2 stars).
