The rule has not changed. Neither has the interpretation. It's been the same for years. But you're definitley confused by it and I can understand that.
There are two different jump stops.
1- Player catches the ball with neither foot on the floor.
a- If he lands on both feet simultaneously, either foot can be the pivot.
b- If he lands on one foot followed by the other, the first foot to land is the pivot.
2- Player catches the ball with one foot on the floor.
a- He must land on both feet simultaneously. If he lands one, then the other, he's traveled.
