The following information was provided by the package's contributor.

Name of contribution: glossaries Author's name: Nicola Talbot Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/glossaries Summary description: Create glossaries and list of acronyms License type: lppl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

v1.12 (8 March 2008):

• Fixed bug that causes glspl to print the plural short form on first use instead of the plural long form.

• Added descriptionplural and symbolplural keys.

• Added glsshortkey, glsshortpluralkey, glslongkey and glslongpluralkey.

• Fixed bugs in glsname, glstext, glsdesc etc.

• Added a check for hypertarget in addition to checking for hyperlink (in the event that hyperlink is defined but not hypertarget).

• Changed #! line in makeglossaries to use /usr/bin/env

• Added package mfirstuc.sty which provides the command makefirstuc{<stuff>} which makes the first object of <stuff> uppercase unless <stuff> starts with a control sequence followed by a group, in which case the first object in the group is converted to uppercase. Examples:

  makefirstuc{abc} -> Abc makefirstuc{emph{abc}} -> emph{Abc} makefirstuc{{a}bc} -> {A}bc makefirstuc{ae bc} -> AE bc

i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue. i've also added a catalogue entry for mfirstuc, on the grounds that it surely has other uses.

thanks for the upload.

Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/glossaries.html or they may browse the package directory at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/glossaries

the package itself is already on its journey to mirror sites around the world. the catalogue entry will be updated overnight (i.e., pretty soon, here in cambridge, but different times at the other two main sites).
