i have installed the new version, and updated the catalogue. users may browse the package via the catalogue entry:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/biblatex.html
that page outlines the package:
The biblatex package is a complete reimplementation of the bibliographic facilities provided by LaTeX in conjunction with BibTeX. It redesigns the way in which LaTeX interacts with BibTeX at a fairly fundamental level.
