PLUGINLIB_EXPORT_CLASS vs PLUGINLIB_REGISTER_CLASS

I am following the tutorial for Diagnostic Analyzers. In the source file there's the macro PLUGINLIB_REGISTER_CLASS, which seems to be deprecated under ros noetic, the only one I can find in class_list_macros.h is PLUGINLIB_EXPORT_CLASS. Are these interchangeable? If not, what would be the right usage in this tutorial? There is not much information given on this aspect.

Thanks!

Must have been a mistake.

Yes, you need to replace PLUGINLIB_REGISTER_CLASS with PLUGINLIB_EXPORT_CLASS in the source code, and IIRC there is a small change in the arguments. The new usage is explained here:
