I’m building a CakePHP 4 application, and I would like something that creates an audit trail of record changes. I have something in my CakePHP 2 app that does this, but it looks like it would be a beast to convert. In my search for a solution, I came across this:

> **[scherersoftware/cake-model-history](https://github.com/scherersoftware/cake-model-history)**
>
> CakePHP 3 Historization for database records. Contribute to scherersoftware/cake-model-history development by creating an account on GitHub.

It’s not written for Cake 4, but it looks like it could be adapted. Is there anything else out there that does something similar?
