Bonsai

Blender and IFC, from IfcOpenShell. The newest tag we read was marked unstable, published 20 Oct 2026.

The COPYING file in IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell starts as GPL version 3, which is the license recorded here. The newest tag we read was bonsai-0.9.1-alpha2610201909, published 20 October 2026, and the name marked it unstable. The recent tags that were listed were alphas. No stable tag was in that set.

No Blender version matrix was recorded, so compatibility is empty. The link is the repository. Price is zero. Treat the version as an unstable tag, not a finished release.

Price history

One check, from 22 Oct 2026. A later row is written only when a permitted price check says the number moved.

Blender compatibility

No row, because the source did not name one of the Blender versions this site tracks: 4.2, 4.5, 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2.

A “works” row means the vendor named that version, or a range that includes it. It is not a test run on this desk. Blender 5.2 is marked LTS because the Blender download page called v5.2.2 LTS. The date of that build was not on the page.
