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.
