thanks for the upload; i have installed the new version and updated the
catalogue repository.
Users may view the package's catalogue entry at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/biblatex.html

what, me? (i'm only working on one latex document, atm -- the faq --
which we call latex as a courtesy, so that it doesn't get tetchy.)
anyway, thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version and
updated the catalogue repository.

the delayed announcement means that the catalogue entry is probably
up-to-date, by now.

thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version and updated the
catalogue repository. (this package provides *such* a lot of
facilities, the catalogue entry looks more than usually sketchy...)

The delay in announcement means that the catalogue entry should
currently be up-to-date.
