The same exact option is still there. The GUI has just changed
slightly and instead of the checkbox you have the small color picker
icon on the right. That icon still does the same as the checkbox
(toggle between auto and normal mode). You can figure out what more
you are in by the image having a selection box or not.

You can also try the new automatic mode (top right dropdown) that
allows a similar kind of adjustment with a few differences:

1. Right now it always uses the whole image, instead of an image
region like the old auto mode does
2. The inputs are different but to replicate the old auto do something
like set 99% of the photo to 0EV which means there will be 1% of the
photo clipping. You can fiddle with those values to get something you
like more. The default values should be decent for most cameras.
3. If you copy the settings between photos what you will be copying
isn't the exposure correction but the EV/Percentile settings. The
exposure correction will then be recalculated for the new photo. This
works great when you want a bunch of photos to have the same exposure
(preparing a time lapse for example) but doesn't work well when what
you want to do is "lower exposure by xEVs in all these photos".

Cheers,

Pedro
