Package biber updated
Date: March 21, 2011 1:59:20 PM CET
CTAN is now holding biber 0.8.4 (we "sort of" mirror from sourceforge).
Philip Kime says:

the mirroring process can't (entirely) be relied upon, so for the time
being at least, announcement messages will be generated manually, from
input from philip.
i have also updated the catalogue repository.
Users may view the package's catalogue entry at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/biber.html
or browse the package's directory at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/biblio/biber/
The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.

biber – A BibTeX replacement for users of BibLaTeX
Biber is a BibTeX replacement for users of BibLaTeX.
Biber supports full UTF-8, can (re)-encode input and output, supports highly configurable sorting, dynamic bibliography sets and many other features.
The CTAN distribution offers a compressed tar archive of the sources, etc., together with “binary” distributions for a variety of platforms.
Note: on SourceForge biber is formally named “biblatex-biber”, to distinguish it from an earlier (now apparently moribund) project called “biber”.
