PMI is in the final round of publishing the latest version of the PMBOK (version 7). This new version of the Standard and the PMBOK is reported to be much less lengthy than V6, but at this point they are having to keep the actual book "quiet" until publication. Once available, they have indicated that an online version will be available at no cost to PMI members (as they always have done!).

Although we had hoped to see it by December 2020, I suspect it won't be available until Q1 2021, although when in Q1 is not being formally announced yet. 

Remember that the PMP and CAPM exams will both continue to be based on the PMBOK v6, as well as other materials, untll the PMI exam team announces its update schedule. Typically the exam changes within 180 days of the publication of a new PMBOK but so far there has been no formal announcement of the exam changing.
