I think the major issue with Tent was that their development efforts had always been divided between two Tent servers. Tentd, the reference implementation used by self-hosters, and their proprietary multi-tenant server that powers https://micro.cupcake.io. But in a blog post in November 2013 (https://cupcake.io/blog/2013/new-tent-server), they announced that they will stop the development of Tentd and open source their multi-tenant server. The development of https://flynn.io (another Cupcake project) will simplify the deployment of the multi-tenant server. The first preview release of Flynn was announced two weeks ago (https://cupcake.io/blog/2014/flynn-preview-release).

There hasn't been much updates on Tent since the last office hours in January (https://tent.io/officehours/2014-01-28), but Daniel said a few hours ago that they will announce May office hours in the next few days (https://micro.cupcake.io/posts/https%3A%2F%2Fdaniel.cupcake....).

I'm really excited for the new features in Tent 0.4 (https://github.com/tent/tent.io/issues?labels=v0.4&page=1&so...) and I can't wait to self-host Tent on the new multi-tenant server!

Absolutely correct. We'll also release a protocol validator for 0.4 prior to the server refactor to help other folks implementing other servers.
