EasyTable Pro! is derived from our popular EasyTable for J! component and in most core features is very similar — to get an understanding of the components we recommend that you download EasyTable for J! and try it out.

The current version 1.1.4 of the EasyTable Pro! Component is available now to subscribers and is the Joomla! 2.5 native release. Version 1.1.2 is not compatible with Joomla! 1.5, to use EasyTable Pro! with Joomla! 1.5 please use the 1.0.0 release of EasyTable Pro! Component.

There are more details in the EasyTable Pro! Changelog.

As always we would encourage you to provide feedback about the direction we're taking with EasyTable Pro in the forums. We appreciate our active Support Subscribers so please give us feedback on the Pro version of the component in the Subscriber Forum.
