Mace or other spray for self defence?

Is it legal to use Mace or other spray against an intruder? Does the new law on defending yourself change anything in this regard?

No does not change a thing about any form of pepper spray etc. Such items are still classed as restricted weapons, have a look at the firearms act for further info.
