Just before RailsConf 2008 I published ActsAsWizard. A rails plugin for creating RESTful multi-step wizards. I've been really happy with it, but hadn't pushed it much because of a dependency on acts_as_state_machine that I wanted to remove.

Well, I've done it. Just yesterday I removed all dependencies on acts_as_state_machine, and ActsAsWizard is finally a standalone plugin for rails. In removing acts_as_state_machine I have also removed a lot of dependencies on active record. The plugin modules are still automatically added to ActiveRecord::Base, but the functionality can be now be used with models that are not ActiveRecord. In fact I was contacted by one user that is using the wizard to populate session information.

If anyone tries out ActsAsWizard, please send me any comments or suggestions. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and patches are always welcome.
