react-bootstrap-table will stop develop new feature and move to react-bootstrap-table2, but keep to fix critical bugs.
react-bootstrap-table2 still work in progress, we will drop a first release ASAP.
In addition, I don't think react-bootstrap-table is a good table component for developer, but I trust react-bootstrap-table2 will be in the future.
If you face too many issues to feel it's hard to custom or work with remote data, I'll suggest you to not use react-bootstrap-table.
