CTAN package update: glossary

[CTAN Announcements]

Nicola Talbot has uploaded a new version of the glossary package:

The package supports generation of a glossary with makeindex.  It has
a certain amount of flexibility allowing the user to customize the
format of the glossary and define new glossary-style objects so that
you can have more than one type of glossary in your document.
