No, nothing in that part of Boost has changed for some time I believe.

Boost does define it's own intmax_t etc *in namespace boost*, if you import 
these into the global namespace then expect things to break, sorry but 
that's the way it's *always* been.  My guess is it worked before because the 
Boost and std lib versions happened to be identical by chance.
