  correctly with ChefSpec.

## v1.5.1

* Fix the `sysvinit` provider on Amazon Linux under Chef 13.

## v1.5.0

* Added `never_start` and `never_stop` provider options to prevent Chef from starting
  or stopping a service.
* Automatically reload systemd when removing a service if auto_reload is enabled.
* Improved dummy provider, records process output to `/var/run/service_name.out`
  and a `restart_delay` provider option to the dummy provider to wait between
  stopping and starting.

## v1.4.2

* Fix the `noterm` test service to work on Ruby 2.3.

## v1.4.1

* Fix `poise_service_user` on Solaris and make it closer to being usable on Windows.

  `poise_service_user` resource.

## v1.3.1

  with an invalid home directory.
* Use the correct default cookbook for `service_template` when used with additional plugins.

## v1.3.0

* Allow setting `pid_file_external false` as a provider option for the `sysvinit`
  provider to have non-standard path but keep the internal handling.
* Improved quoting for environment variables in the `inittab` provider.

## v1.2.1

  option and defaults to `on-failure` to match other providers.

## v1.1.2

* [#22](https://github.com/poise/poise-service/pull/22) Set all script commands
  for the `sysvinit` provider. This should fix compatibility with EL5.

* [#11](https://github.com/poise/poise-service/pull/11) Revamp the `sysvinit` provider for non-Debian platforms to be more stable.
* [#12](https://github.com/poise/poise-service/pull/12) Improve the `dummy` provider to handle dropping privs correctly.

## v1.0.2

* Fix a potential infinite loop when starting a service with the dummy provider.
* [#2](https://github.com/poise/poise-service/pull/2) Remove usage of root
  default files so uploading with Berkshelf works (for now).
