Well both should be stable, but 4.0.0 introduced some more substantial breaking changes. By publishing 4.0.0 with the 'next' dist-tag, any problems that people experience will be to a smaller group of devs.
So my advice:

Does ng-table use semantic versioning?
If yes, it's understood that 4.0.0 has some breaking changes.
What's confusing in this case is that npm out
shows that 3.0.1 is the latest, when ~4.0.0 is required in package.json:
Package Current Wanted Latest
ng-table 4.0.0 4.0.0 3.0.1
Also the fact that 4.0.0 is marked as a pre-release in GitHub just adds to the confusion.
I suggest you release 4.0.1 and mark it as a regular release so it becomes the latest release solving both issues outlined above.
The project uses semantic-release to automate version number assignment and to publish to npm. This dictates certain conventions.
One of which is NOT to use pre-release version numbers but instead use release channels via npm dist-tags to indicate whether the version is considered "battle tested". Interestingly, this is what the npm team uses itself to version the npm client.
For ng-table, this leads to the following...
next
latest
(eg 3.0.1)next
version; no adverse feedback is receivedlatest
and the pre-release marker is removed from githubUnfortunately tooling is not perfect. npm doesn't place meaning on the dist-tags and so npm out
says what it says.

I've added a small clarification to the readme that points to this conversation.
Hopefully, that will clear up some of the confusion for others
That's great. Thank you for investing your time into this project.
Cool. I'll close this issue now.
