Hello Great Manjaro Community!!
Do any of the developers have an idea when DR18 will be ready through the AUR link in any of the package managers? Very excited to get started with it.
Regards,
Gerry
The AUR is not maintained by Manjaro, nor by Arch itself upstream. It is the Arch User Repository, where individuals can upload PKGBUILD files — which are scripts — for getting certain software installed and working in Arch and (optionally) other Arch-based distributions.
Therefore, your guess is as good as ours. 
Flagging packages out-of-date
First, you should flag the package out-of-date indicating details on why the package is outdated, preferably including links to the release announcement or the new release tarball.
You should also try to reach out to the maintainer directly by email. If there is no response from the maintainer after two weeks, you can file an orphan request. See AUR submission guidelines#Requests for details.

If you want it now you could probably download it from Blackmagicdesign and build it yourself
But the new version might be available from AUR tomorrow (Saturday)
