Is daz patching 4.8 with updates? Strange dir structures happening/changing.

I don't know if this has to do with daz' progression towards the Cloud thing or if its something else going on, maybe just with my copy of the program.
For just a little while I've noticed some content changing in various ways. What I have noticed the most, and is most apparent is a change in how my characters and such are listed, this is in reference to "smart content" Tab only. I have not seen any change readily apparent in the 'Content Library' Tab.

ok, what happened is, say I need to load a G2 male (see attachment #2), normally I select something like a light or camera in the node box (because as we know smart content is searched depending upon your selection), ok, I go to Figures>People>Male, and "normally" I find G2M there. uhm, he's missing, errr, missing from this dir, but he IS in the content, but no longer in the smart content for figures>male? I had to go about another way of loading the g2m, but I've never had to do this before, and becuse I was so used to finding him this way, I had to think about another route to him for a moment, lol. This is the same for Females too. There are no male or female genesis, genisis 2, nor 3 in this dir anymore, only the starter essentials. I did the same thing with footwear for a figure. Usually when I do this I'm getting individual thumb nails of all the shoes I have that has meta data included. Nope, now I get a thumbnail of the whole clothing item instead, I cant even "see" the shoes in the thumbnail because it is showing the whole image of the outfit, I did forget to check on individual items that are not in a clothing bundle, e.g., the store item was ONLY a pair of shoes, but maybe all my shoes for g2m came with a clothing bundle, thats possible. Either which way I saw no individual shoes listed (screen shot #1).

Is my 4.8 going silly or is this from some hidden update, or did I unknowingly change something that I'm not familiar with or aware of doing? Clicked something wrong that I've evidently not done before?
