when, exactly?

index hasn't changed in ages, but hyperref was last updated on the
_archive_ on 10 april.  the latest snapshot of pdftex was 17 april,
which is exactly a month ago (though i doubt that is your problem).

of course, if you update your stuff from places other than ctan you
would no doubt get more recent versions, but since you updated index
you've visited ctan for at least one thing...
