I’m looking for a solution to read and store the differences between
two updates to a row in my DB.
For example, if a user changes the number of hours they worked after
submitting their timesheet, I want to be able to show a manager the
change they made and then report that adjustment.
From looking at the docs, acts_as_versioned works for versioning a
model and then stepping through previous revisions, but there doesn’t
seem to be a way to compare the differences between two revisions. Am
I wrong in that assumption? If so, can someone point me to the docs I
should be looking at.
If I’m not wrong, is there another plugin available or does anyone
have any suggestions for how to go about implementing a versioning
system in the way I’m looking for.
Thanks.

I’ve been using the riff plugin with Lighthouse.

It helps to store a serialized hash of the diffs in the version model
too, otherwise you have to recalculate each time the view is rendered.

Awesome plugin suggestion, Rick. Thanks for pointing it out.

Great for logs or versioning (which was recently added).
Much more efficient than acts_as_versioned.
