RELEASE_NOTES.md

@@ -22,3 +22,11 @@ CHEF-1761 introduced a regression for signal handling when not in daemon mode
 (see CHEF-5172). Chef will now, once again, exit immediately on SIGTERM if it
 is not in daemon mode, otherwise it will complete it's current run before
 existing.

+#### Ubuntu 13.10+ uses Upstart service provider.
+
+The "compatibility interface" for /etc/init.d/ is no longer used at least as of
+13.10 (per the Ubuntu wiki page). The default service provider in Chef for Ubuntu
+is C:\:\P::S::Debian, which uses /etc/init.d/service_name with the start, stop,
+etc commands to manage the script. If you are able to use the init provider just
+fine, you will need to manually override the provider back to Debian.
