Brand new version 1.0.0

Breaking changes: - Options now are forwarded to all resources' methods - Main "meta" moved from options hash to be the third argument New features: - Added "json_api_meta" resource method - Errors rescuing Refactored code and tests, thanks to @aJIeks, @spscream & @DNNX from https://russiandevs.slack.com ✌️

 I'd like to notice that there already is one gem called [jbuilder-jsonapi](https://github.com/csexton/jbuilder-jsonapi) by [csexton](https://github.com/csexton), but it adds a links helper only. It's not enough for me! :facepunch:

Then you should delete everything within your `*.json.jbuilder` files and replace it with below recommendations (just one line! :flushed:).

+Each resource instance, as well as the included one, will be invoked with `json_api_attrs (options)`, `json_api_relations (options)` & `json_api_meta (options)` methods. These methods **MAY** be implemented within each model. `api_format!` method will try to get an object's permitted attributes (**remember, you are free do define authentication logic yourself!**) and relations and meta information via those three methods.
 
 Here is an example of implementation:
 ```ruby
-# Item model
+# Inside Item model
 
-def json_api_attrs (access_level = nil)
+def json_api_attrs (options = {})
  attrs = []
- attrs += %w(name description price buyoutable item_type category) if %i(user admin).include?access_level
- attrs += %w(real_price in_stock) if access_level == :admin
+ attrs += %w(name description price buyoutable item_type category) if %i(user admin).include?options[:access_level]
+ attrs += %w(real_price in_stock) if options[:access_level] == :admin
  attrs
 end
 
-def json_api_relations (access_level = nil)
+def json_api_relations (options = {})

 end
 ```
-**Note** that the gem will call methods pulled with `json_api_relations and _attrs`. As for the above example, methods like `:name`, `:description`, `:orders` will be invoked for an Item instance. And yes, relations are fetched properly if an object responds to `orders`.

 ## ToDo
 
 - [ ] Maybe add `Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json`. This spec is ignored right now :smirk:
-- [ ] Add links tests
+- [ ] Add links tests and improve them. Links now work only within views (where `@context` is present).
 - [ ] Somehow implement `[fields]` parameter

+## Versions
+
+#### 0.0.1 -> 1.0.0
+
+**Breaking:**
+- [x] Now any value can be forwarded to resources' methods via last `options` argument.
+- [x] Added third argument `meta`, which is used to show meta information in the context of request
+
+**Not breaking:**
+- [x] Added support for `json_api_meta (options)` method.
+- [x] Any internal error is now properly handled.
