DEV 401 Certification is availble or not for new folks

Hi,  On Salesforce certification web site i found below content what it exactly means ?Does the the certification pattern changed ?

The Salesforce Certified Force.com Developer exam is for individuals who want to demonstrate their knowledge, skills, and abilities building custom applications and analytics using the declarative capabilities of the Force.com platform. Here are examples of the concepts you should understand to pass the exam:

Build custom applications using the point-and-click capabilities of the platform
Design the data model, user interface, business logic, and security for custom applications
Design reports, dashboards, and portals

Please note: Effective September 14, 2015, we will no longer be offering this credential to new applicants. Existing Salesforce Certified Force.com Developers will continue to be recognized in the Salesforce Certification program and can maintain their credentials. We recommend for individuals interested in this credential to consider pursuing the Salesforce Certified App Builder and/or Salesforce Certified Platform Developer I credentials.
