i have installed the new version, but the change to the catalogue entry
is going to take a little longer than usual.  it will be in place by the
time the catalogue is updated tonight.

Users may view the package's catalogue entry at
  http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/glossaries.html
or browse the package's directory at
  http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/glossaries/

The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) by tomorrow morning.

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.

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).

thanks for the upload.

i have installed the new version and updated the catalogue repository.
the files themselves will propagate to the other ctan sites fairly
quickly, while the catalogue entry may take rather longer.
