the catalogue entry will be updated in the next hour or so; the package
itself will be at the other ctan sites in a few minutes, and mirrors
should be up to date within 24 hours.

i have installed the new version and updated the catalogue. as usual,
the update will make its way quickly to the other ctan sites, and more
leisurely to non-core mirrors; the catalogue html will be updated
overnight.

i've installed the update as suggested, and updated the catalogue
repository. thanks for the update.
the package will propagate pretty quickly to the other ctan nodes, and
should make it to all mirrors within 24 hours or so.

thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version and updated the
catalogue repository. the package itself will be at the other ctan
sites pretty soon, and the mirrors within 24 hours or so. the catalogue
entry will be updated shortly.

thanks for the upload; i've installed the fonts and made a catalogue
entry for them.
Interested users may view the catalogue entry at

i've installed the package as requested, and updated the catalogue
repository. thanks for the upload.
users may view the catalogue entry at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/pst-3dplot.html
or visit the package's own directory at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-3dplot/
the catalogue entry will be updated overnight, but the package itself
should quickly make its way to the other ctan sites (though rather more
slowly to other mirrors).
