Intentional Fouls ...

The only change that I can think of is that many years ago the NFHS recognized that coaches used a time management strategy and were allowed to tell their players to foul their opponent. Previous to that change, if a coach instructed their players to foul their opponents, it was always considered to be an intentional foul. Now, the NFHS allows such strategy, and such fouls are no longer "automatic" intentionals but must still meet the requirements of being intentional (no play on the ball, defense grabs the jersey, pushes from behind, or bear hugs the offensive player).
