You're right, there is a new twist to the rule.  This link explains it all, and is very understandably written.  In short, each team may designate two players that they wish to release as "post June 1" transactions.  This allows the player to be free to sign with another team, but the team doesn't realize the salary cap savings until after the June 1 date passes.
