more recent Verdana versions (v2008 and v2010).

CTAN is now holding biber 0.8.4 (we sort of mirror from sourceforge).
Philip Kime says:

the mirroring process can't (entirely) be relied upon, so for the time
being at least, announcement messages will be generated manually, from
input from philip.
i have also updated the catalogue repository.
