title: Announcing Tent v0.1

The [documentation](/docs) for Tent version 0.1 is now available along with a reference server, [tentd](https://github.com/tent/tentd).
This version of the Tent protocol, apps, and servers are still very young and are all under "heavy development". That means using the software is a lot like living in a building that's under construction. Loud, mysterious sounds are common and things you normally take for granted might be unreliable or not exist yet. At this stage, tentd should not be considered secure or reliable. This will change quickly, but for now so **please don't use it for anything you would not want public and/or lost.**
### What this means for you
**Developers** It's time to start writing apps for Tent and adding Tent support to existing projects based on the current specification. We've built a simple microblogging app and released it under the MIT license [here](https://github.com/tent/statuspro). Both the server and app are alpha releases. There are many bugs and vulnerabilities waiting to be found. Please report and/or repair any problems you find to the development team.

**Users** You need a Tent server to get started. There are two options:
1. If you have access to a server and are comfortable running your own server you can use [this repository](https://github.com/tent/tentd) to get up and running on your own hardware. Several PaaS providers are currently working on a simplified install option. We will publish a list when they are ready.
2. [Tent.is](https://www.Tent.is) offers single-click Tent hosting. [Tent.is](https://www.Tent.is) hosts your Tent server and some apps, so you can start posting right away. Right now it has the microblogging app pre-installed with many more on the way.

Next Steps
Tent will continue to evolve rapidly. Version 0.2 is under development and will offer several features we couldn't finish in time for v0.1. In the mean time, let's start posting, hosting, and developing!

Tent has many open source elements that need your help and accept pull requests. Applications include tentd, the reference server implementation, TentStatus, a Tent microblogging app, and TentAdmin, a server administration app. Most of these apps were developed to demonstrate basic functionality and shipped with a limited feature set. Additions, changes, and forks are welcome. The documentation accompanying these projects and the Tent protocol are also community curated. All can be found on the [Tent github](http://github.com/tent/). Each has a list of TODO priorities in the readme.
