One of the Tent architects here. We're actively working on 0.4. The big challenge right now is that a number of organizations are considering using Tent is very large scale deployments for sensitive data, so we're making the transition from move fast and break things to enterprise grade reliability. This includes everything from a solid protocol validator (future versions of the protocol will have complete validation coverage before we release a reference implementation) and a highly scalable multi-tenant server that large service providers can easily deploy. We're refactoring the server we use for hosting Cupcake users and releasing it under a permissive license in the next few months to make that transition easier. So it's an exciting time for the core team but there isn't a ton happening on the surface just yet. Our goal has always been to get Tent to a solid 1.0 after which the APIs could remain unmodified for several years at least (similar to HTTP and SMTP). The tradeoff is that we then need the freedom to break things between versions of the pre-1.0 versions. It's frustrating for early app developers (one of the reasons we don't encourage adoption) but will pay off once we hit 1.0 |
