In the relay in track and field, when did the style of baton passing change to the current style?

In the olden days, relay runners would hold their hand out behind them and jog facing forward until the previous runner slapped the baton into their hand. When did it change to the receiving runner facing the tossing runner? Is there a trade off in terms of speed and does that new method significantly reduce the chances of dropping the baton or is it about something else?
