Active_model_serializers: Upgrading path
Just a reminder that we have to write a clear note on how to upgrade from 0.8/0.9, with new features, changed behaviors, and removed features.
ref: #1005, #1683

@beauby Are there any upgrading docs for moving from 0.9 to 0.10? I looked through the docs but couldn't find a link - apologies in advance, if I missed something.

@oyeanuj Not that I know of, no :/

@beauby :( Do you know if it is on the radar or a priority?
As someone who is on 0.9, I feel a little stuck - can't upgrade to Rails 5 because 0.9 has some issues with it (#1923) and hard to go from 0.9 -> 0.10 (to use Rails 5) as there isn't feature parity(#1845) and lack of documentation, which means more unknowns of what might or might not work.
Hopefully, it doesn't come off as a complaint or an entitlement, but as a perspective of someone who is excited about upgrading but is encountering issues. I know you guys are doing the best you can!

@oyeanuj I'm afraid it will have to come from the community as:
- AFAIK, no current maintainer has much experience with 0.9 (or 0.8 for that matter), and
- focus (at least on my side), is mainly on jsonapi support (though I'm currently focused on jsonapi-rb more than AMS).
Listing all the issues/missing features you are encountering would be a great start though.

Not at all! (:

@oyeanuj I did the update recently, haven't had the time to compile a list of rules that classify all the changes, but I have a single commit (private repo) that did it and I should be able to go back and start listing each change. I don't have much time now, but I will be happy to chat and help you through the process, just so we can produce a guide for the community. My email is publicly available at my Github page, feel free to contact me through there so we can coordinate the effort better.

@leonelgalan @oyeanuj -- I'm running into similar issues (stuck on 0.9). Would love some insight into the overall changes!

@toobulkeh Sorry, I haven't been able to. Ran into some issues and was fairly overwhelming. Personally, I think I'll focus on #1923 and not upgrade. And if that fails, then try this one again!
