I can confirm the change: Your example uses on texlive 2013
different fonts than one texlive 2014 and the line breaking is
different:

<d:/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/urw/times/utmr8a.pfb>
<d:/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/urw/times/utmri8a.pfb>

<d:/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/tex-gyre/qtmr.pfb>
<d:/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/tex-gyre/qtmri.pfb>

You could install the older newtxtext or even a complete texlive
2013 from the historic repositories:
