Informant has been algebraic since 1966. The first editions of ECO were written by world champions, but more recent editions tend to be done by lower level Serbian players, so it isn't quite as authoritative.Nunn's Chess Openings came out in 1999.
The 15th edition of Modern Chess Openings by Nick De Firmian came out in 2008. The Small Encyclopedia of Chess Openings came out in 2010. I don't think there has been a general encyclopedia released since then. If you want something more up-to-date than this, you could try monographs on individual openings, for example, the GM Repertoire series from Quality Chess. New in Chess Yearbook has articles on many specific lines.
Chessbase and the Chess Informant periodical have annotated games in electronic formats. Perhaps, Small Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings is the last book of this type that we will ever see.If one really wants a detailed general opening reference, I think chessbase sells some sort of updated computer disk from time to time. I am not sure what the desired purpose is here, but I think the common perception is that it is no longer practical to publish a detailed reference in book form for all oenings. There are some not-so-detailed books that attempt to describe most openings (without tables of moves), but I think the last of those was about eight years ago.If one is not too concerned with detail, perhaps it is not so important to have a recent update. Seirawan's Winning Chess Openings is not as comprehensive as FCO, but it is probably a lot more readable.
If I remember correctly, it was written around 1999. Here is a review:For a bunch of sample games, one could consider:'. Nearly 170 pages in The Mammoth Book of Chess are.
Devoted to various chess openings.' - Steve Goldberg (2010)That sort of reading would be a pretty daunting task, but I think this book differs from most others because of its use of a lot of sample games. Mohammad: If you want to buy ECO as a standard reference work, you'd probably be better off buying the first edition of the five volumes, written in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Yes, opening theory has moved on since then (quite a bit with some openings), but as Wayne pointed out above, nearly all the analysis in them was done by world class players at the time (Botvinnik, Geller, Korchnoi, Larsen, Hort, Portisch etc.) - the most recent editions are still worthwile, but the quality of analysis is often criticized (and not without reason). Then complement these with books on the openings you do play.
I don't know which level you're at, but if you are beginner to intermediate, I would suggest Everyman Chess 'Starting Out' series (they will give you an excellent grounding). If you're intermediate to strong, Everyman Chess has several other excellent opening books, too. If you're a strong player then I would recommend checking out Quality Chess and their opening books. Thir books are aimed at very advanced and aimed at really strong players (their most well-known series is called 'Grandmaster Repertoire'). However, they're also full of didactic explanations which will serve amateurs as well.
You just don't have to go through all analysis in one go. (It's great as reference after you've played some games in the opening.) You're already familiar with Watson's excellent books 'Mastering the Chess Openings' from the publisher Gambit. However, I've always found their other, specialized opening books too heavy on variations, and too short on explanation to be really useful. It seems that there is a lot of books on certain openings (which would require a fortune to buy ). I have Watson's 'Mastering Chess Openings' series which I found to have received much praise, still I was thinking about getting a more encyclopedic work.If money is a problem, my guess is that it is not going to be efficient to spend a lot of it on a multi-volume reference from decades ago. I do not know what openings you are considering, but it seems like a good bet that you can learn more about them, by spending the money on recent books on your chosen openings.'

For new players, I cannot recommend books that use an encyclopedic type of presentation of opening theory, because the explanatory prose that elaborates typical plans and ideas is usually absent, thus leaving the student without any clear idea why certain moves are played or even preferred over other apparently equivalent moves.' - FM Carsten Hansen (2010).
