when we can we have been saying something on here, but as we've already seen, the first initial idea of a new non-AOL release has already shifted into next year and that's not too helpful when you give updates that then change not long after being made.
and trying to sort out some aspects is just dragging on a lot longer than would liked which after a point means the plan needs to be changed again as then other dates start to conflict or change what is needed e.g. patent expiries or service requirements.
so at the moment, things are vague as there's a lot of unknowns and basing things on those is not helpful since as soon as we don't make it, people will get even crabbier.
so it most likely won't be until we're a lot further down the road that we'll be able to give a more definitive eta. and even then things will slip as that's just what happens as you can plan things as much as you like, there are always unknowns that'll crop up (like the additional work i'm doing on SHOUTcast which is needed to improve things for the new site and API and needed tooling updates - which takes time out from working on Winamp but then something needs to be up and running to be able to a) pay the bills and b) allow us to make Winamp into a fully free option which requires point 'a' to be true).
which is why comments such as the one made by jaripako39 are not helpful and like i mention above, a number of aspects are in others hands at the moment, so even if we had a working version, we wouldn't be able to provide it (just like how and why we're not allowed to officially host the downloads).
