+### ActiveJob jobs now inherent from ApplicationJob by default
+
+In Rails 4.2 an ActiveJob inherents from `ActiveJob::Base`. In Rails 5.0 this
+behaviour has changed to now inherent from `ApplicationJob`.
+
+When upgrading from Rails 4.2 to Rails 5.0 you need to create a file
+`application_job.rb` in `app/jobs/` and add the following content:
+
+```
+class ApplicationJob < ActiveJob::Base
+end
+```
