Description

If I'm right, previous versions of the glossaries package (and, I guess, glossaries-extra) behave as required regarding the plural of the short forms of abbreviations in French: if this package was loaded after babel (with its french option), \glspl didn't add the plural mark to the short form. But that's not the case anymore for both glossaries and glossaries-extra.
