* #3586 Fix bug preventing light weight resources from being used with heavy weight providers
* #3593 Fix bug where provider priority map did not take into consideration a provided block
* #3630 Restore Chef::User and Chef::ApiClient namespace to API V0 functionality and move new functionality into Chef::UserV1 and Chef::ApiClientV1 until Chef 13.
* #3611 Call `provides?` even if `provides` is not called
* #3589 Fix errant bashisms
* #3620 Fix issue where recipe names in run list mutate when version constaints are present
* #3623 Allow LWRPs to access the real class when accessed through `Chef::Resource` and `Chef::Provider`
