Description of the required change.

-### Resources now *all* get automatic DSL
-
-When you declare a resource (no matter where) you now get automatic DSL for it, based on your class name:
-
-```ruby
-module MyModule
- class MyResource < Chef::Resource
- # Names the resource "my_resource"
- end
-end
-```
-
-When this happens, the resource can be used in a recipe:
-
-```ruby
-my_resource 'blah' do
-end
-```
-
-If you have an abstract class that should *not* have DSL, set `resource_name` to `nil`:
-
-```ruby
-module MyModule
- # This will not have DSL
- class MyBaseResource < Chef::Resource
- resource_name nil
- end
- # This will have DSL `my_resource`
- class MyResource < MyBaseResource
- end
-end
-```
-
-When you do this, `my_base_resource` will not work in a recipe (but `my_resource` will).
-
-You can still use `provides` to provide other DSL names:
-
-```ruby
-module MyModule
- class MyResource < Chef::Resource
- provides :super_resource
- end
-end
-```
-
-Which enables this recipe:
-
-```ruby
-super_resource 'wowzers' do
-end
-```
-
-(Note that when you use provides in this manner, resource_name will be `my_resource` and declared_type will be `super_resource`. This won't affect most people, but it is worth noting as a matter of explanation.)
-
-Users are encouraged to declare resources in their own namespaces instead of putting them in the `Chef::Resource` namespace.
-
-### Resources may now use `allowed_actions` and `default_action`
-
-Instead of overriding `Chef::Resource.initialize` and setting `@allowed_actions` and `@action` in the constructor, you may now use the `allowed_actions` and `default_action` DSL to declare them:
-
-```ruby
-class MyResource < Chef::Resource
- allowed_actions :create, :delete
- default_action :create
-end
-```
-
-### LWRPs are no longer automatically placed in the `Chef::Resource` namespace
-
-Starting with Chef 12.4.0, accessing an LWRP class by name from the `Chef::Resource` namespace will trigger a deprecation warning message. This means that if your cookbook includes the LWRP `mycookbook/resources/myresource.rb`, you will no longer be able to extend or reference `Chef::Resource::MycookbookMyresource` in Ruby code. LWRP recipe DSL does not change: the LWRP will still be available to recipes as `mycookbook_myresource`.
-
-You can still get the LWRP class by calling `Chef::ResourceResolver.resolve(:mycookbook_myresource)`.
-
-The primary aim here is clearing out the `Chef::Resource` namespace.
-
-References to these classes is deprecated (and will emit a warning) in Chef 12, and will be removed in Chef 13.
