The difference between the version June 2003 and January 2004 consists in the following:
The fourth volume of the revised version 1.4 of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS) contains cross-identification tables. The tables contain all GCVS (including extragalactic variables from vol.V), NSV (New catalogue of Suspected Variable stars) and Supplement to the NSV stars as well as stars from the name-lists of variable stars nos. 67 - 77; it also makes it possible to find out identifications between the GCVS and the NSV catalogue.
The differences between the computer-readable version 1.3 and 1.4 of vol. IV are the following :
We present a new electronic version of the second volume of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS), fourth edition, which contains data on 13480 variable stars in Cygnus - Orion. This version incorporates the name lists of variable stars from no.67 to no.76 for the same constellations. The main distinctive feature of the new version is that it provides improved equatorial J2000.0 coordinates for 13446 stars (including those for 5052 stars corrected for proper motions). These are based on identifications with positional catalogs using finding charts and on our new measurements.

THE 77TH NAME-LIST OF VARIABLE STARS (files)
We present the next regular Name-List of variable stars containing information on 1152 variable stars recently designated in the system of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars.
The fourth volume of the revised version 1.3 of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS) contains cross-identification tables. The tables contain all GCVS (including extragalactic variables from vol.V), NSV (New catalogue of Suspected Variable stars) and Supplement to the NSV stars as well as stars from the name-lists of variable stars nos. 67 - 76; it also makes it possible to find out identifications between the GCVS and the NSV catalogue.
The differences between the computer-readable version 1.2 and 1.3 of vol. IV are the following :
We present a new electronic version of the first volume of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS), fourth edition, which contains data on 10558 variable stars in Andromeda - Crux . This version incorporates the name lists of variable stars from no.67 to no.76 for the same constellations. The main distinctive feature of the new version is that it provides improved equatorial J2000.0 coordinates for 10351 stars (including those for 4592 stars corrected for proper motions). These are based on identifications with positional catalogs using finding charts and on our new measurements.
The version also includes a file of remarks to the first GCVS volume and a preliminary version of the file of bibliographic references to the entire fourth edition of the GCVS. Apart from a complete update of the positional information, the new version incorporates all the other corrections that were found to be necessary after the first GCVS volume was published (1985).

The differences between the computer-readable version 1.1 and 1.2 of vol. IV are the following :
Stars of the 73th and 74th name-lists of variable stars and stars of the Supplement to the NSV have been added.
