The Panoramic Survey Telescope And Rapid Response System-1 (Pan-STARRS-1, PS1) has been in full survey operation since May 2010. The Medium Deep Survey (MDS) component is allocated 25% of the time to cover 11 fields ( 8 sq. deg. each) typically with significant multi-wavelength overlap from previous surveys (i.e., SDSS, DEEP2, CDFS, COSMOS). The g,r,i,z filters are covered every 3 days (the y filter during bright time) with a nightly depth to sample SNIa beyond redshifts of 0.5 (r,i 16--23.5 mag). To date, more than 1300 optical transient candidates have been discovered in the PS1-MDS, including more than 140 spectroscopically confirmed supernovae. We will present the initial, regular public release of stationary transient candidate events from the PS1-MDS and the future direction of these public releases as the survey continues.
