Embedded Coder changes function names from step to output

We have recently upgraded to R2023b. We have noticed that when we generate code from models a lot of function names have changed from 'step' to 'output'. Whilst this is not a problem we are curious to understand what has caused this change. The code still builds and works fine.

Previous:

// ModelReference: '<Root>/MeasurementController'

MeasurementControllerMDLOBJ5.step(rtu_control_run,

Now:

// ModelReference: '<Root>/MeasurementController'

MeasurementControllerMDLOBJ5.output(rtu_control_run,

Not sure how the method name changed to output ... the default should still be step(). However, you can easily change back to "step" via code mappings:

Thanks. I noticed that the change seems to be anywhere that we generate code for a model reference block. We have a mixture of model reference and subsystem reference blocks in our models. I scanned the release notes going back to the version we moved up from but could not see anything obvious about this change. We don't need to force a change back to 'step' but I will note the configuration possibilities for future reference.
