Advice: be patient :)

The release date given by the development team is for the source code, not for 
repositories. 
Such repositories are maintained by third parties, and the Digikam developers 
have no relation with them, and no influence on when they will pick up the new 
version. So packaging for your distro usually takes some time (from days to 
weeks, depending on the distribution/packager).

In the mean time, you could try to grab the appimage or flatpak. Those are 
(afaik) prepared and maintained by the digikam developers.
