As I understand it, the previous ID system using integers is still in place, but is being phased out. A quick look at the wiki gives a list of item and block ids given in the newer string identifiers and the old integers, so I believe both still work (I exclusively use the new system now though, so take that with a grain of salt). It also looks like phasing out integer IDs started back in 1.6, so I doubt that there would be much of a problem. The new system is very nice though, as it's easier to remember minecraft:diamond than 264.
