It never changed! The word 'oblong' still exists as a non-square rectangle.
Unfortunately the way shapes tends to be taught to pupils is through drawings rather than looking closely at properties; the latter identifies the fact that a rectangle is simply a quadrilateral with 4 right-angles. This means a square is a rectangle with equal sides and an oblong is a rectangle with unequal sides.
