Release
Još se ništa ne zna was released by SuperTon some time in 1993 and would become an instant hit. Selling [x] amount of copies, [something about being the 3rd or second best-selling album]. In the same year, the album would receive a VHS release, Najveći Hitovi and would also feature music videos for songs from Ne dam Krajine, Stan'te paše i Ustaše, and Živeće ovaj narod. To this day, Još se ništa ne zna is the only studio album to have a music video for every song. These videos would also be featured in the first installment of the SuperTon Koktel VHS series, also published in the same year.
Most versions of the album have a name crossed out inside of the j-card. It is unknown who "Tanja" is nor why their name was crossed out on subsequent releases.
The titular song would be featured on numerous compilations such as the CD release of Pobediće Istina, 1998's The Best Off, and Moje Najljepše, One Naše!? Vaš Baja Mali. The song, "Obilić me zove" would be featured the 1998 albums, The Best Off and Srpskim radikalima as well as the 2000 compilation album, Čuvaj Nam Bože Srbiju. Although the latter two would list the song under a different name. Another popular song from the album, "Vratiće Se Novak" is also listed on compilations under a different name.
In 2015, the official SuperTon YouTube channel began uploading the tracks individually in high-quality as well as uploading it to other digital platforms like iTunes and Spotify.[1] The music videos would also be uploaded individually in 1080p that included a 35-second intro with the instrumental of "Čuti, čuti ujko" playing.
In 2020, the album would be reuploaded to digital platforms such as iTunes, Amazon Music, and Spotify with the original 2015 upload being delisted on iTunes and Amazon music. Unlike the 2015 cover image where it was a compressed scan of the album's cover, the cover used in this re-release is a reimagined cover featuring a photoshopped image of Baja with different font for the title text. The reason for this redesign is unknown.
In 2021 the channel NSA - Naša Srpska Arhiva would upload the music videos with the ability to play at 50 frames per second, though the resolution was at 720p. They would subsequently be taken down due copyright, but in turn the entire VHS would be posted to the SuperTon YouTube channel at an upscaled 1080p at 60 frames per second. In the same year, the entire album would be posted as one video.

- Compared to its initial release, there are slight differences in times between the original cassette release and the digital releases. The most notable example is "Da ne bješe Nikšićana" where the digital version is 32 seconds faster than the cassette release. Though it could be due to how cassette times were calculated back then.
- The 2015 digital release of the album uses the correct track listing in Latin, however in the 2020 saw the westernization of most titles. The only tracks that are left untouched are tracks 4 and 7-9. Both releases lack any diacritical marks.
- While both the 2015 and 2020 uploads are similar audio quality-wise, the version currently available for purchase on iTunes sounds significantly worse.
- Currently Spotify is the only platform that has the 2015 release.
