I am just reporting that this module's current "stable" release does not work in the slightest. Why others aren't complaining I am not sure.

I did a considerable amount of debugging to determine why the base table wasn't showing the views selection only to determine that the structure of the TableConfig object is all messed up and the code for creating the hook_views_data() simply won't work without reworking it.

I do understand it is alpha, but to mark it as stable and possibly cause people to spin their wheels hoping to get it to work is pretty unhelpful to the community. Please consider re-evaluating the stability of this release. Also, if anyone can get things working then great!

Things I noted in debugging:

data.views.inc -> data_views_data():

calls to check_plain(), which no longer exists.
$field_name in the foreach is not a field name it is only a numeric array key which breaks later code.
$table->get('meta'); is always null
direct calls to t()

It does sound like it's maybe not ready for an alpha, but bear in mind an alpha release is *not* a stable release!

Yet the release's status is set to supported and the info states nothing to the effect of the fact it is not at all working at the moment. https://www.drupal.org/docs/7/choosing-a-drupal-version/release-types#alpha I would not claim that "most reported errors are resolved".
