-== 0.8.6 - 21-Aug-2014
-* Some internal changes that make stopping a service more robust. Thanks go
-  to Ethan J. Brown for the patches.
-* Renamed the constants module to avoid name clashes. Thanks go to Michael
-  Smith for the spot.
-
-== 0.8.5 - 2-Jul-2014
-* The service type for Service.new no longer defaults to being an interactive
-  process. This could cause process credential issues and wasn't very
-  useful in practice anyway. Thanks go to Pierre Ynard for the report.
-* More tests skipped unless run with admin privileges.
-* Use relative_require instead of doing things manually.
-* Minor memory efficieny improvements.
-* Skip errors on ERROR_RESOURCE_TYPE_NOT_FOUND when getting service config info.
-  Thanks go to Rob Reynolds for the patch.
-
-== 0.8.4 - 23-Jan-2014
-* Added support for the delayed start startup type. Thanks go to Jim Arnold
-  for the patch.
-* Fixed the service test that ensures that trying to start an already running
-  service will raise an error. Thanks again to Jim Arnold for the patch.
-
-== 0.8.3 - 1-Nov-2013
-* Fixed a bug where a service's state could be changed when merely
-  interrogating the service. Thanks go to Glenn Sarti / Puppet Labs
-  for the spot.
-* Fixed a bug where attempting to get the description of a service that
-  has no description could raise an error. Now an empty string is returned.
-
-== 0.8.2 - 13-Aug-2013
-* Fixed a bug in the Service.start method where it was not handling arguments
-  properly. Thanks go to Sean Karlage for the spot.
-
-== 0.8.1 - 2-Aug-2013
-* Fixed the failure actions code for the Service#configure method
-  so that it is also using FFI.
-* An internal fix for the Daemon class was added. In short, you no longer
-  need to, nor should you, call exit! in a service_stop method. Thanks go
-  to Adrian Candaten for pointing out the issue in general.
-* Made FFI functions private.
-* Added Rake as a development dependency.
-* Removed an internal helper function that was no longer being used.
-
-== 0.8.0 - 19-Jun-2013
-* Converted all code to use FFI. This includes the Daemon code, which means
-  that it also now works with JRuby.
-
-== 0.7.2 - 7-Sep-2011
-* Now works with mingw compiler by skipping __try and __finally if using
-  mingw, or using them with mingw if the seh.h header is found.
-* The binary gem now contains binaries for both Ruby 1.8.7 and 1.9.2 using
-  a simple wrapper.
-* Updated some Rake tasks.
-
-== 0.7.1 - 9-Feb-2010
-* Compatibility fixes for 1.9.x.
-* Fixed a bug where the controls_accepted struct member was always nil. This
-  has been fixed and now always returns an array.
-* Added 'pre-shutdown' as possible values for the list of controls accepted.
-* Changed test-unit from a runtime dependency to a development dependency.
-* Some tests were refactored to be more reliable.
-* Refactored the Rakefile and gemspec.
-
-== 0.7.0 - 30-Jun-2009
-* INTERFACE CHANGE: The Service.new and Service.configure methods now accept
-  a single hash argument only. The :service_name key is mandatory, while the
-  :host key is optional.
-* Fixed a bug in the Service.services method where a segfault would occur if
-  the binary_path_name was greater than 260 characters. The buffer size has
-  been increased to 1024 characters. Thanks go to Dan Daniels for the spot.
-* Altered the Daemon class so that the Ruby interpreter was not invoked within
-  the Service_Main function. The functions that close stdin, stdout and stderr
-  are now called within the mainloop method. Thanks go to Tim Hanson for the
-  spot and the patch.
-* Eliminated a minor build warning in daemon.c
-* License changed to Artistic 2.0, with corresponding gemspec update.
-* Added an uninstall rake task.
-* Updated the service_stop method in the demo_daemon.rb file, and added some
-  additional comments.
-* The test files were renamed.
-* Several tests were updated and refactored to use Test::Unit 2.x. That
-  library is now a dependency.
-* The 'uninstall' Rakefile task is now more verbose.
-
-== 0.6.1 - 1-Jan-2008
-* The Service.services method now handles the scenario where a particular
-  service may still exist, but its underlying registry entry has been deleted.
-  In this case, most ServiceInfo struct members are set to nil and a warning
-  is issued.
-* RDoc updates.
-
-== 0.6.0 - 25-Nov-2007
-* The Service control class is now pure Ruby. The Daemon class is still C,
-  however. That may change in the future. This means the windows-pr
-  library is now a prerequisite.
-* The Service.new method has been altered in a way that is not backwards
-  compatible. It is now the same as Service.create.
-* The Service.start method now properly handles arguments to the
-  Daemon#service_main method.
-* The Daemon source code is now separate from the Service control class
-  source code. That means you must require them separately, as needed.
-* The Daemon class should be much more responsive to service events now,
-  especially service_stop. Many thanks go to Kevin Burge for the patch.
-* Added the Daemon.mainloop method as a shortcut for Daemon.new.mainloop.
-* The Daemon class now redirects STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR to the NUL device
-  if they're still associated with a terminal when the service starts. This
-  should help prevent Errno::EBADF errors.
-* The Service.services class method now supports the group parameter for
-  versions of Ruby built with older compilers, i.e. it will now work with
-  the one-click Ruby installer.
-* The Service.getdisplayname method was changed to Service.get_display_name.
-  An alias has been provided for backwards compatibility.
-* The Service.getservicename method was changed to Service.get_service_name.
-  An alias has been provided for backwards compatibility.
-* Added the Service.config_info method.
-* The Service.create and Service.configure methods now allow you to set
-  failure actions, failure commands, and reset/retry periods.
-* Improved test suite.
-* Changed 'tdaemon.rb', 'tdaemon_ctl.rb' and 'service_test.rb' to
-  'demo_daemon.rb', 'demo_daemon_ctl.rb' and 'demo_services.rb', respectively.
-* Some refactoring and updates to the demo daemon and demo daemon controller
-  examples.
-* The Win32Service struct is now ServiceInfo.
-* ServiceError is now Service::Error.
-* DaemonError is now Daemon::Error.
-* Some documentation improvements, corrections and updates.
-
-== 0.5.2 - 25-Nov-2006
-* Fixed a bug in the Daemon class where the service event handling methods
-  (most notably service_stop) did not work properly due to thread blocking
-  issues.  Many thanks go to Patrick Hurley for the patch.
-* Added the Daemon#running? method as helper method for your service_main
-  method.
-* The 'interactive?' struct member is now just 'interactive'.  This was
-  supposed to have been in the last release but was somehow missed.  Sorry.
-* Scrapped the old daemon_test.rb file and split it into two new files -
-  tdaemon.rb and tdaemon_ctl.rb.  In the process a few bugs were fixed.
-* Added a gemspec.
-* Documentation and test suite updates.
-
-== 0.5.1 - 18-Jun-2006
-* Added the Service.open method.
-* The Service.new method now accepts a block, and automatically closes itself
-  at the end of the block.
-* Fixed in a bug in the Service.create method where setting dependencies
-  was not working properly.  Thanks go to Scott Harper for the spot.
-* The 'interactive?' struct member is now just 'interactive' since Ruby no
-  longer supports question marks in struct member names.  UGH.
-* The block for Service#configure_service is no longer optional.
-* Replaced ClipSrv with W32Time for most of the test methods in tc_service.rb
-  because it had a dependency that is disabled on most systems.
-* Added a tweak to the extconf.rb file to help with the test suite.
-* Some documentation updates and corrections.
-
-== 0.5.0 - 26-Nov-2005
-* Added a service_init hook, and (internally) altered the way the service
-  starts.  This was done to deal with services that need to perform any
-  initialization in the Daemon itself before the service starts.  Previously
-  this would result in the service timing out during startup.
-  
-  Thanks go to Jamey Cribbs for spotting the problem.
-  
-* Modified the Daemon example, adding a service_init hook that does about 10
-  seconds worth of initialization before finally starting.  See the comments
-  in examples\daemon_test.rb for more information.
-* Minor test and README changes.
-
-== 0.4.6 - 24-May-2005
-* Fixed an initialization bug that could cause Daemons to fail unless the
-  win32-service package was the last package require'd.
-* Altered the Service.start method.  It now takes any number of arguments
-  (after the service and host name).  These arguments are passed to the
-  service's Service_Main() function.
-* The Service.services method now returns an Array of ServiceStruct's in
-  non-block form.
-* The Service.start, Service.pause, Service.resume, Service.stop and
-  Service.delete methods now return the class (self), not 'true'.
-* Added the ability to add or configure the service description in
-  Service#create_service or Service#configure, respectively.
-* Fixed a bug in the Service.start method where false positives could result.
-* Updated the ServiceStatus struct to include pid and service_flags on Win2k
-  or later.
-* Unicode is now the default setting as far as internal string handling.  It
-  will still work fine with 'regular' text.
-* Added safe string handling for string input values.
-* Added rdoc comments into the C source.
-* Made the service.txt and daemon.txt files rdoc friendly.
-* Removed the service.rd and daemon.rd files.  If you want html documentation,
-  run rdoc over the service.txt and daemon.txt files.
-* The dreaded "code cleanup".
-
-== 0.4.5 - 28-Feb-2005
-* Fixed an accessor bug in Service#create.  Thanks go to Nathaniel Talbott
-  for the spot.
-* Eliminated a warning that appeared starting in Ruby 1.8.2 regarding Struct
-  redefinitions.
-* Moved 'examples' directory to toplevel directory.
-* Deleted the 'test2.rb' example.  This was supplanted by the 'daemon_test.rb'
-  script.
-* Renamed the 'test.rb' file to 'services_test.rb'.
-* Made this document rdoc friendly.
-
-== 0.4.4 - 27-Aug-2004
-* Modified the Service class to use the newer allocation framework.  The
-  Daemon class already used this, hence no major version bump.
-* Fixed in a bug in the create_service() method with regards to the
-  'dependencies' option and null arguments (you no longer need to specify
-  an empty array).
-
-== 0.4.3 - 14-Aug-2004
-* Fixed the Daemon class by adding back the constants it needed in order to
-  run.  I accidentally broke this when I changed the Daemon class from being
-  a subclass of Service to being its own class.
-* Added a separate test suite for the Daemon class, tc_daemon.rb, to help
-  me from making that mistake ever again. :)
-* Updated the daemon_test.rb script a bit to report error messages should
-  any occur.
-* Minor doc updates
-
-== 0.4.2 - 10-Jul-2004
-* The Daemon class is no longer a subclass of Service.
-* Added the 'pid' and 'service_flags' struct members to the Win32Service
-  struct.  These members are only available to folks using Windows 2000 or
-  later and who compile with VC++ 7.0 or later (including the .NET SDK).
-* The Service.services method now accepts a group name as an optional third
-  argument.  Again, you must be using Windows 2000 or later and compile with
-  VC++ 7.0 or later (including the .NET SDK).
-* The deprecated STR2CSTR() functions were replaced with StringValuePtr().
-  This also means that as of this version, win32-service requires Ruby
-  1.8.0 or greater.
-* Moved the sample programs to doc/examples
-* Removed the .html files under /doc.  You can generate that on your own if
-  you like.
-
-== 0.4.1 - 14-Mar-2004
-* Added the exists? class method and corresponding test suite additions.
-* Pushed the ServiceError and DaemonError classes under the Win32 module.
-* Normalized tc_service.rb so that it can be run outside of the test directory
-  more easily.
-
-== 0.4.0 - 9-Feb-2004
-* Changed "worker" method to "service_main" method.
-* Added event hooks for stop, pause, resume, etc.  See the documentation for
-  further details.  (Thanks Park Heesob)
-* Some of the Daemon functions were raising ServiceError.  They have been
-  changed to DaemonError.
-* Updated the daemon_test.rb file to use the new event hooks.
-* Documentation additions and updates.
-
-== 0.3.0 - 31-Jan-2004
-* Added a Daemon subclass.  This allows you to run Ruby programs as a service.
-  Please see the documentation for more details. (Thanks Park Heesob).  This
-  should be considered an ALPHA release.
-* The Win32ServiceError class has been renamed to just ServiceError.  I felt
-  the "Win32" was redundant, given that it's already under the Win32 module.
-* In some cases a bogus error description was being returned because the
-  GetLastError() function was being called too late.  This has been fixed.
-  (Thanks Park Heesob).
-* The explicit garbage collection has been removed because what I thought was
-  a memory leak was not, in fact, a memory leak.  In addition, it was hurting
-  performance badly.
-* The "\r\n" is now automatically stripped from error messages.  This was
-  causing slightly garbled error messages.  (Thanks Park Heesob).
-* Added explicit closing of the Service Control Manager handle in the
-  services() function for those rare cases where it may fail while reading
-  service information.
-* Made some of the error strings a bit more descriptive.
-* Test suite and documentation additions, including a sample daemon program
-  in the test directory called "daemon_test.rb".
-
-== 0.2.2 - 15-Jan-2004
-* Fixed a mistake in the service_init declaration within Init_service().
-* Fixed bug in the service_init function with regards to desired access.
-* Modified service_free() function to explicitly set the hSCManager handle
-  to NULL and modified the service_close() method to test hSCManager handle
-  for NULL value.  This should eliminate accidentally trying to close an
-  already closed handle, which may have happened as the result of a free()
-  call. (Thanks Park Heesob).
-* Added explicit garbage collection in Service.services() method.
-* More explicit about closing open HANDLE's when error conditions arise.
-
-== 0.2.1 - 2-Nov-2003
-* Made the exported less redundant and less verbose, e.g.
-  Service::SERVICE_DISABLED is now just Service::DISABLED.  The same is true
-  for the service control constants, i.e. the 'SC_' has been removed.
-* Corresponding test suite changes.
-
-== 0.2.0 - 16-Oct-2003
-* The constructor has been changed.  It now only takes a machine name and a
-  desired access for arguments.  The keyword arguments are now part of the
-  create_service method() and only in block form.  See the documentation for
-  more details.
-* Added a configure_service() and close() instance methods.
-* Added several new constants to allow finer control over created and
-  configured services.
-* Added Win32ServiceError as an exception.  All failures now raise this
-  error instead of a vanilla StandardError.
-* Moved some common code into the service.h file.
-
-== 0.1.0 - 10-Oct-2003
-- Initial release
+== 0.8.7 - 14-Jul-2014
+* Fixed a bug in the SERVICE_DELAYED_AUTO_START_INFO struct. It now returns 0
+  or 1, though it still accepts true or false as arguments. Thanks go to
+  Kartik Null Cating-Subramanian for the spot.
+
+== 0.8.6 - 21-Aug-2014
+* Some internal changes that make stopping a service more robust. Thanks go
+  to Ethan J. Brown for the patches.

+  Service.delete methods now return the class (self), not 'true'.
+* Added the ability to add or configure the service description in
+  Service#create_service or Service#configure, respectively.
+* Fixed a bug in the Service.start method where false positives could result.
+* Updated the ServiceStatus struct to include pid and service_flags on Win2k
+  or later.
+* Unicode is now the default setting as far as internal string handling.  It
+  will still work fine with 'regular' text.
+* Added safe string handling for string input values.
+* Added rdoc comments into the C source.
+* Made the service.txt and daemon.txt files rdoc friendly.
+* Removed the service.rd and daemon.rd files.  If you want html documentation,
+  run rdoc over the service.txt and daemon.txt files.
+* The dreaded "code cleanup".
+
+== 0.4.5 - 28-Feb-2005
+* Fixed an accessor bug in Service#create.  Thanks go to Nathaniel Talbott
+  for the spot.
+* Eliminated a warning that appeared starting in Ruby 1.8.2 regarding Struct
+  redefinitions.
+* Moved 'examples' directory to toplevel directory.
+* Deleted the 'test2.rb' example.  This was supplanted by the 'daemon_test.rb'
+  script.
+* Renamed the 'test.rb' file to 'services_test.rb'.
+* Made this document rdoc friendly.
+
+== 0.4.4 - 27-Aug-2004
+* Modified the Service class to use the newer allocation framework.  The
+  Daemon class already used this, hence no major version bump.
+* Fixed in a bug in the create_service() method with regards to the
+  'dependencies' option and null arguments (you no longer need to specify
+  an empty array).
+
+== 0.4.3 - 14-Aug-2004
+* Fixed the Daemon class by adding back the constants it needed in order to
+  run.  I accidentally broke this when I changed the Daemon class from being
+  a subclass of Service to being its own class.
+* Added a separate test suite for the Daemon class, tc_daemon.rb, to help
+  me from making that mistake ever again. :)
+* Updated the daemon_test.rb script a bit to report error messages should
+  any occur.
+* Minor doc updates
+
+== 0.4.2 - 10-Jul-2004
+* The Daemon class is no longer a subclass of Service.
+* Added the 'pid' and 'service_flags' struct members to the Win32Service
+  struct.  These members are only available to folks using Windows 2000 or
+  later and who compile with VC++ 7.0 or later (including the .NET SDK).
+* The Service.services method now accepts a group name as an optional third
+  argument.  Again, you must be using Windows 2000 or later and compile with
+  VC++ 7.0 or later (including the .NET SDK).
+* The deprecated STR2CSTR() functions were replaced with StringValuePtr().
+  This also means that as of this version, win32-service requires Ruby
+  1.8.0 or greater.
+* Moved the sample programs to doc/examples
+* Removed the .html files under /doc.  You can generate that on your own if
+  you like.
+
+== 0.4.1 - 14-Mar-2004
+* Added the exists? class method and corresponding test suite additions.
+* Pushed the ServiceError and DaemonError classes under the Win32 module.
+* Normalized tc_service.rb so that it can be run outside of the test directory
+  more easily.
+
+== 0.4.0 - 9-Feb-2004
+* Changed "worker" method to "service_main" method.
+* Added event hooks for stop, pause, resume, etc.  See the documentation for
+  further details.  (Thanks Park Heesob)
+* Some of the Daemon functions were raising ServiceError.  They have been
+  changed to DaemonError.
+* Updated the daemon_test.rb file to use the new event hooks.
+* Documentation additions and updates.
+
+== 0.3.0 - 31-Jan-2004
+* Added a Daemon subclass.  This allows you to run Ruby programs as a service.
+  Please see the documentation for more details. (Thanks Park Heesob).  This
+  should be considered an ALPHA release.
+* The Win32ServiceError class has been renamed to just ServiceError.  I felt
+  the "Win32" was redundant, given that it's already under the Win32 module.
+* In some cases a bogus error description was being returned because the
+  GetLastError() function was being called too late.  This has been fixed.
+  (Thanks Park Heesob).
+* The explicit garbage collection has been removed because what I thought was
+  a memory leak was not, in fact, a memory leak.  In addition, it was hurting
+  performance badly.
+* The "\r\n" is now automatically stripped from error messages.  This was
+  causing slightly garbled error messages.  (Thanks Park Heesob).
+* Added explicit closing of the Service Control Manager handle in the
+  services() function for those rare cases where it may fail while reading
+  service information.
+* Made some of the error strings a bit more descriptive.
+* Test suite and documentation additions, including a sample daemon program
+  in the test directory called "daemon_test.rb".
+
+== 0.2.2 - 15-Jan-2004
+* Fixed a mistake in the service_init declaration within Init_service().
+* Fixed bug in the service_init function with regards to desired access.
+* Modified service_free() function to explicitly set the hSCManager handle
+  to NULL and modified the service_close() method to test hSCManager handle
+  for NULL value.  This should eliminate accidentally trying to close an
+  already closed handle, which may have happened as the result of a free()
+  call. (Thanks Park Heesob).
+* Added explicit garbage collection in Service.services() method.
+* More explicit about closing open HANDLE's when error conditions arise.
+
+== 0.2.1 - 2-Nov-2003
+* Made the exported less redundant and less verbose, e.g.
+  Service::SERVICE_DISABLED is now just Service::DISABLED.  The same is true
+  for the service control constants, i.e. the 'SC_' has been removed.
+* Corresponding test suite changes.
+
+== 0.2.0 - 16-Oct-2003
+* The constructor has been changed.  It now only takes a machine name and a
+  desired access for arguments.  The keyword arguments are now part of the
+  create_service method() and only in block form.  See the documentation for
+  more details.
+* Added a configure_service() and close() instance methods.
+* Added several new constants to allow finer control over created and
+  configured services.
+* Added Win32ServiceError as an exception.  All failures now raise this
+  error instead of a vanilla StandardError.
+* Moved some common code into the service.h file.
+
+== 0.1.0 - 10-Oct-2003
