Yes, it appears that there was a change, judging by the history of link.jam:

https://github.com/boostorg/build/commits/develop/src/tools/link.jam

Specifically, it looks like it was this Feb 5 change:

https://github.com/boostorg/build/commit/3116da2b95ad02748c744a44ecec67789a9941c2

In summary, you did nothing wrong, you just did your setup before this 
change. Life in develop is sometimes like that, and having to delete boost/ 
and rerun b2 headers a few times a year is nothing extraordinary. :-)
