On Sat, 23 Feb 2008, Nicola Talbot submitted an update to the
glossaries
package.
The glossaries package supports acronyms and multiple glossaries. New entries
are defined to have a name and description (and optionally an associated
symbol). Plural forms can also be specified. New glossary styles can be
defined, and preambles and postambles can be specified. There is provision for
loading a database of terms, only terms used in the text will be added to the
relevant glossary.
Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/glossaries
