Masonry Thumbnail Layout Disappeared in 6.9.2

I almost exclusively use the masonry thumbnail layout for my albums. However, today I republished an older album that I had made some changes to when I noticed that it came out as a fixed-grid. Trying to figure out what happened, I looked at my JAP file and sure enough it showed skin.thumbLayout=fixgrid. Thinking I had accidentally changed this, I went back to jAlbum and sure enough the settings showed the layout as Fixed Shape Grid. Pulling down the layout selection list, Masonry (ie. skin.thumbLayout=horizontal) is no longer an option in 6.9.2. I loaded some other albums that use the Masonry layout and they also loaded as Fixed-Grid in Tiger 6.9.2.
I reverted my Tiger to 6.8.1 and Masonry layout is again an option. Rebuilt my album and everything's fine again. I'm assuming it's a bug that Masonry disappeared at some point after 6.8.1?
Thanks!

I believe that's now called Justified.

I removed Masonry because the Justified layout is a better version of the same. Masonry crops images occasionally, and leaves incomplete rows. When the skin loads an album with Masonry layout, it switches to Justified automatically, so the change is unnoticeable for most. I don't know why it didn't happen in your album.

Thanks for the explanation. I just reinstalled 6.9.2 and re-verified that my albums with "horizontal" layout load as fixgrid. In any case, I did a global search and replace of all my albums to replace "horizontal" with "justified" and then performed a global rebuild. Everything's fine now, but I do notice that some albums that have a large number of thumbnails per row (eg. 7-8) and where there are few thumbnails in the last row, the last row won't justify, similar to masonry. That is well and fine for me, but just curious what criteria you use for deciding when to justify the last thumbnail row.

The last row cannot be fully justified because doing so would result in too large thumbnails. The latest, incomplete row has a 1:1 magnification.
The skin prioritizes shrinking rather than enlarging the thumbnails to fit in a row. This is why you might get more thumbs in a row now.
I checked the logic behind replacing the "horizontal" setting. It turned out it was using the word "masonry," not "horizontal." Gosh. I fixed it for the next release.

Likewise, the explanation is VERY much appreciated! I just duplicated an older album that was using Masonry, but it did not change to Justified when making the copy, it defaulted to Fixed Grid. I'm just glad I decided to google the answer before I started trying to fix it!
And FWIW, Justified does a nice job of mixing landscape and portrait images. Thx for that.
