Murthy Nukala posted this, pointing to Phil Plait's article describing latest data (from 1890's :) with a link to the Bradley E. Schaefer's manuscript.
So, what's new? The star in question may have been fading in brightness over a time period of 100 years. What exactly this means? Read more by clicking above links. Nothing conclusive so far, but I am telling you, they are coming :)

Also, Wow! Signal Podcast released a new episode titled 'The Slow and Fast Dimming of Tabby's Star' on Jan 14th with Dr. Schaefer. You can listen to him reviewing and commenting on the data.
Again, Dr. Boyajian et al's manuscript that started it all is here.
