 Abstract. We are currently working on a version of the General
Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS) revised taking into account the
new data accumulated since the 4th GCVS edition. A draft new
version will be released for each constellation as soon as the
work for the constellation is finished. It will contain all stars
of the 4th GCVS edition plus a complete catalogue of the stars
added to the GCVS in the Name Lists of Variable Stars Nos. 67--78.
Now we are ready for the first release, containing more than 1300
variable stars in the constellations of Antlia, Ara, and
Telescopium. When preparing the release, we actively used modern
data-mining possibilities to improve variability types and light
elements. This paper introduces the first release of the new GCVS
version and presents new results (types, light elements), based
mainly on data mining, for 213 stars.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note on Component :designations of components of double/multiple stars :
   A,B; 1,2,3  ... (tau 1). Usually only one component of the binary
   is variable, but there exist two cases (CE Cas A,B; EQ Peg A,B) when
   both components are variable and enter the catalogue as separate lines.
Note on GCVS :traditional transliterations of greek letters
  are used. Lower- and upper-case latin letters must be distinguished
   
Note on RAh, RAm, RAs, DE-, DEd, DEm, DEs :
   the position is not listed when the variable is equivalent to another
   catalogued variable ("=" in column Exists, byte 173).
Note on u_DEs :
  (:) a flag indicating that the coordinates are actually rougher than
  the accuracy standard adopted in the this table
Note on n_magMax, n_magMin :Code for alternative photometric system.
  Field is non-blank if magMin is a magnitude or amplitude given in a
  system other than that indicated by magCode. An asterisk in the
  corresponding position means the amplitude measured in white light.
Note on magCode :the photometric system in which magMin and magMax are
  reported (see also Note on n_magMax, n_magMin). The main codes are P
  (photographic magnitudes) and V (visual, photovisual, or Johnson's V).
  Several stars from the 68th Name-List have in these positions "1."
  designating the 1.04 micrometer band of the system introduced by
  G.W.Lockwood. The designations u,v,b,y refer to the Stroemgren system.
  The symbols "Ic" and "Rc" mean magnitudes in Cousins' I system.
  "g" designates magnitudes in the system of Thuan and Gunn;
  "T" stands for broad-band Tycho magnitudes formed from B and V
  measurements; "r" are red magnitudes not tied to a particular system.
Note on Epoch :Epochs are given for minimum light for all
  eclipsing and ellipsoidal variables, as well as for RV Tau and RS CVn
  types, and for maximum for all other types.  This rule may occasionally
  be broken, but this is explained only in the remarks.
  The epochs are Julian dates, with the starting figures 24... omitted;
 
Note on q_Epoch :the following codes are used (see also note on Epoch)  :
  ":" are used if the epoch is uncertain;
  "+" epoch may be later than that reported;
  "-" epoch may be earlier than that reported.
Note on l_Period :the following codes are used :
  ">" or "<" if period is a lower or upper limit, respectively.
  "(" :the period is the mean cycle time of a U Gem or recurrent nova
  (in this case, there is ")" in pos. 134).
Note on n_Period :the following codes are used :
  "*N" if the period may be a multiple of the quoted value;
  "/N" if the period may be a fraction of the quoted value;
  ")" - see the note on l_Period.
Note on M-m/D :this column holds the rising time (M-m) of intrinsic
  variables, or the duration of the eclipse (D) for eclipsing binaries.
  These values help to define the shape of the light curve.  The value is
  given in percentage of the period of the star.
Note on u_M-m/D :the "*" indicates that the duration of the light constancy phase at minimum light (d) for an eclipsing variable is equal
  to zero.
Note on Exists :the following codes are used in column Exists :
  "N" in byte 173 if the star does not exist.
  "=" in byte 173 appears in three cases.
  First, it is used if the variable is equivalent to another cataloged
  variable. In such case, after the "=" symbol, the alternative name
  of the variable follows, and all necessary information on the star is
  to be found under that alternative name.
  Second, it is used for all variables of the Name-Lists Nos.67-78, it
  is followed by the two-digit number of the Name-list and the four-digit
  number of the star in the Name-list, and the information for the star
  follows the format of the Name-lists (see above).
  Third, the "=" symbol may be followed by the star's name in the GCVS
  Vol. V (see the file v.zip, where the explanation of the designations
  is also given). This means that the star enters also Vol. V, and the
  information of Vol. V makes it possible to improve the data of Vols.
  I-III. In this case, the symbol "*" in column 178 means the presence
  of remarks in Vol. V.
