+------
+
+* Stop adding `rails_12factor` to the `Gemfile` from `rails generate
+  ember:heroku`. Rails serves the twelve-factor behaviour the gem backported
+  natively since `5.0`, and every Rails version this gem supports is `>= 5.2`.
+  To upgrade, remove `rails_12factor` from your project's `Gemfile`
+
 0.13.2
