What is tentative release date for DraftSight, pricing for released software?

I was a CATIA V3, 4, & 5 programmer for 15 years.  I love the Beta of this DraftSight & am going through the learning curve as a retired citizen now.  I'm wondering what the final cost of the released software might be?  I might think again about learning a new software if it will be priced beyond my reach.  Will the Beta licenses expire, also?
