I've installed the update to the package, and (minutely) updated the
catalogue repository.  Thanks for the upload.

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

The catalogue entry will be updated overnight, but the revised package
is already on its way around the world.
