There is no set time as mentioned many times before, it's ready when it's ready, just because other vendors have released a version that has got nothing to do with Avast ;)

If you'd like to know what it will be like then you can test a beta version.

I hate these artificial deadlines essentially to "sell" products, some vendors will release a new version every year, just to promote sales.

If you have a paid version of avast, it lasts for one or more years (depending on what you purchased), that isn't artificially tied to a product version. You can still get new program update so long as your license is valid.

Avast have also started pushing out monthly program updates. This has been complicated by the fact that Avast have purchased a controlling interest in A V G. So at this moment there is a lot of work on both products to give better protections. Whilst this is going on it wouldn't make much sense to push on with a program update that didn't benefit from this improved protection.
