Running a script with OpenSSL 3.0

With OpenSSL 1.1.1, I could write something like:
$ echo version | /path/to/openssl

And it would display
OpenSSL> OpenSSL 1.1.1g  21 Apr 2020
OpenSSL> $

(Where the final "$" is my bash prompt again.)  In an ideal world, it wouldn't display the "OpenSSL> " prompt like that, but that's not a big deal.

With OpenSSL 3.0, this no longer appears to work.  The output from the above command is identical to just "$ /path/to/openssl".

Am I doing something wrong, or does this functionality no longer work?
