I don't think this is a new version of Hexagon. The download page says it ver 2.5.1.79. That's the same version I downloaded and installed back in 2012. ;)

I was on a beta team for that a few (maybe more) years ago. We tested and nothing became of it. I'll believe it when I see it.

Looking forward to see where this goes. In the past it looked like Daz abandoned it and they were folding the tools into Carrara. Now Carrara seems dead while Hexagon is maybe showing some life. It would be nice if they made Carrara free too.
