Hi people I have tried to install the acts\_as\_versioned gem from  
github in rails 2.2.2 but it seems to conflict with some methods in  
the activerecords dirty.rb-file. I can solve some of the problem by  
changing code in the activerecord, but I don’t think that was the  
intention.

Hi Emuen,

I suppose you want to use acts\_as\_git because ~\_versioned won’t be  
fixed, imho.

I would be skeptical that acts\_as\_versioned won't be worked on to be made compatible with Rails 2.2.2. It's been around for awhile and, I would guess, has a pretty decent size install base. Unless there is another plugin that is database backed and a relatively painless switch (i.e. the acts\_as\_taggable... evolution), rather than git backed, that is already compatible with Rails 2.2.2, I can't see acts\_as\_versioned going away.

Cheers,  
Walter

You can get the latest version of acts\_as\_versioned from Github at  
[GitHub - technoweenie/acts\_as\_versioned: ActiveRecord plugin for versioning your models.](http://github.com/technoweenie/acts_as_versioned) which will work with  
dirty objects in Rails 2.1 and later
