I'm using it in a project and have passing unit tests.

* As mentioned, state is not set until create, so use Order.create
* I believe the syntax is to list states separately on lines by  
themselves (that's how I use it).

   state :new
   state :placed
   state :confirmed
   ... etc.

This is because the second argument to state can be a callback method.

Documentation is slim and the plugin hasn't been updated much.  
However, it has a good set of features and many people are using it.
