acts_as_audited
acts_as_audited is an ActiveRecord extension that logs all changes to your models in an audits table.
Auditing in Rails
If you’re using acts_as_audited within Rails, you can simply declare which models should be audited. acts_as_audited can also automatically record the user that made the change if your controller has a current_user method.
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
audit User, List, Item
protected
def current_user
@user ||= User.find(session[:user])
end
end
Customizing
To get auditing outside of Rails, or to customize which fields are audited within Rails, you can explicitly declare acts_as_audited on your models:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_audited :except => [:password, :mistress]
end

Awesome plugin. I would really like its functionality to be extended for the ActiveResource feature of Rails 2.0.2 though. Is it already implemented?

Acts and Audited and Authlogic appear to have some trouble working together (at least by default) and I'm hoping to find some help.
When the user access a page, the current_user method is invoked and, with Authlogic, the User object is updated (last_request_at column). This triggers a callback to audit the User object, but this is before current_user (the @current_user variable) is available. This causes an endless look and a stack overflow.
Any thoughts about how to get around this? I am also asking the authlogic guys if they have any thoughts at:
