How to capture audit history on ActiveRecord tables

Question

I would like to turn on audit history of all changes which happens on certain tables exposed as ActiveRecord interfaces. Are there any gems which can enable this functionality?

create table foo (id, field1, field2, field3 ...)

It should be possible to create an audit on all field transitions either on creation | updation.

e.g. field 1  transitioned from value1 --> value11
e.g. field 2  transitioned from value2 --> value22
