What happened to BricsCAD Shape?

Octave BricsCAD Shape was discontinued with BricsCAD V26. It was previously offered free of charge, but it is not part of V26 or later, and there is no longer a Shape download or free download. Shape saved models as DWG, so your files open directly in BricsCAD. New to BricsCAD?
