     A new intermediate set of products from the GAIA project has been issued that includes items of interest to variable-star observers.  The data are accessible as item I/361 in the CDS VizieR catalogue-query service.  One of the news items is a catalogue of half a million stars in omega Centauri.  But there are also lightcurve and radial-velocity data for about 10,000 variable stars and long lists of data for gravitational lens candidates.

     Some description is here:
