There is nothing recent really comparable to Pokorny (the "new Pokorny" is
being worked on at Leiden University, see:
http://iiasnt.leidenuniv.nl/ied/index2.html)

What I have, besides Pokorny, is C.D. Buck's "A Dictionary of selected
synonyms..." (that's even older than Pokorny), and the much more recent
"Encyclopaedia of IE Culture", by Mallory & Adams.

There's no IE etymological dictionary by Don Ringe...
