4 - Support Fischer time control.
5 * [shogi-server] Bump up the revision to 20160409.
7 2016-04-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
9 * [shogi-server] Support Fischer Time Control
11 - Fischer time control means that:
12 Before a player has made their move, a specified time increment is
13 added to their clock. Time can be accumulated, so if the player
14 moves within the delay period, their remaining time actually
16 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_clock)
17 - New syntax of game names:
18 An 'F' suffix denotes a Fisher time in seconds. For example,
19 "floodgate-600-10F" specifies
21 + Total allotted time is 600 seconds for each player
22 + 10-second increment before a player's move in a Fischer way
23 - The server now proposes game conditions upon a game start with
24 - "Protocol_Version 1.2"
25 - "Increment:<n>" for Fischer Time Control
26 - Kifu files can include the following comment for Fischer Time
29 * [shogi-server] Fix some lint warnings.
31 2015-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
33 * [shogi-server] Enhance capability of Floodgate configuration file
34 - New parameter: Max_Moves, defined in the CSA protocol
36 - New parameter: Least_Time_Per_Move, defined in the CSA protocol
37 ex. set Least_Time_Per_Move 0
38 - Proposed messages distributed to each player upon starting a new
39 game will include Max_Moves as well as Least_Time_Per_Move.
40 - CSA files produced by the server will include settings of
41 Max_Moves and Least_Time_Per_Move in comment lines as follows:
43 'Least_Time_Per_Move:0
44 - The official Shogi-server on wdoor.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp will
45 be running with different parameters, depending on game names.
46 a) Max_Moves will be 256 for floodgate-600-10 games;
48 b) Least_Time_Per_Move will be 0 for floodgate-600-10 games;
51 * [shogi-server] shogi_server/pairing.rb:
52 - LeastDiff attempts more trials, depending of a number of players
53 to be matched, top achieve more optimized matching combinations.
55 2015-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
57 * [shogi-server] shogi_server/time_clock.rb:
58 - A time consumed could be -1.
59 * The start time of a move is captured after sending a move to a
60 player of the next turn at the end of the giant lock
61 * The end time of the move is captured at the exact time when the
62 server receives it before the giant lock
63 Therefore, end_time < start_time is possible when a player returns a
65 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for reporting this issue.

71 - Updated to investigate floodgate-600-10 games.
73 http://www.sgtpepper.net/hyspro/diary/20150214.html.
74 - Added a companion R script: histogram.R
76 2015-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
79 - shogi_server/login.rb: When players are logged in, log their
80 player_id if they have it.
82 2015-01-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
85 - Getting an absolute path of this file was wrong if it was a
86 symbolic link. This issue has been addressed.
88 - Links to details pages for players now use a relative path so
89 that it works on a testing site.
91 2015-01-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
94 - shogi-server, shogi_server/{command,game_result,player}.rb:
95 The change at 2014-10-13 was not worked as expected. Reworked.
96 A player, attempting to login with the current live player
97 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
100 2015-01-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
103 - shogi_server.rb: Follow an API change in a upstream class:
104 LogDevice.previous_period_end
106 2014-12-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
109 - When a non-rated player participates in Floodgate, the following exception
110 was thrown and a Floodgate game would not start:
111 undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
112 ["/home/shogi-server/www/x/shogi_server/pairing.rb:499:in `block
113 in calculate_diff_with_penalty'"
114 This issue has been resolved. Only players who have player ID
115 (i.e. those who log in with valid password) are now allowed to
116 participate in Floodgate as the spec web page
117 [http://shogi-server.sourceforge.jp/rating.html] describes.
119 2014-12-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
122 - Addressed Ruby incompatibility on ShogiServer::Usi::alphabetToDan.
123 It (and usiToCsa.rb) did not work with Ruby 1.9.3. This issue
125 Thanks to Hiraoka-san for debugging.
127 2014-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
129 * utils/eval_graph.rb:
130 - Gnuplot 4.6.6 drew evaluation-value lines with a dashed style.
131 This issue has now been addressed so that solid lines are used.
133 2014-11-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
138 2014-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
141 - Ruby 2.0.0 or later is recommended to use with shogi-server
142 since Ruby 1.8 reached its End-of-Life on the end of July, 2014.
144 - Addressed a warning of duplicated range in a regular expression.
146 2014-10-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
149 - A player, attempting to login with the current live player
150 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
152 - Kifu record files now includes rating scores of players at the
153 time when games start. Previously, for rating games, a record
154 file includes player IDs of both players with a line starting with
155 "'rating". Now it also shows rating scores for players who have
156 valid scores. The formats for black and white players are as
158 'black_rate:<player_id>:<score>
159 'white_rate:<player_id>:<score>
161 'rating:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790
162 'black_rate:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2763.0
163 'white_rate:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2345.0
165 2014-10-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
168 - New feature: max moves
169 - New command line option: --max-moves n
170 When a game with the n-th move played does not end, make the
171 game a draw (default 256 in compliance with CSA Protocol V1.2
172 or later). Setting 0 disables this feature for
173 CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
174 - Players will receive a new message, "#MAX_MOVES", upon an end
178 - A new log summary type, "max_moves", has been assigned for games
179 drawing with max moves.
180 'summary:max_moves:name_sente draw:name_gote draw
181 - Least time per move:
182 - New command line option: --least-time-per-move n
183 This option specifies a least time in second per move, which
184 is 0 second by default, meaning that a decimal
185 fraction of time for a move will be truncated in compliance
186 with CSA Protocol V1.2 or later.
187 Set 1 for CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
189 2014-07-19 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
192 - Added a new option, --abnormal-threshold n:
193 Games that end with the 'abnormal' status are counted in
194 win/lost games for the rating calculation if a game plays more
195 than n plies. Otherwise (or if n is zero), abnormal games are
196 counted out of rating games.
198 2014-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
201 - Released: Revision "20140107"
203 2013-12-29 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
206 - Previously, parameters in Floodgate time configuration file were
207 not applied to actual instances. This issue has been fixed.
209 2013-12-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
212 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Impose penalty on matches between
215 2013-12-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
218 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
219 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
220 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
221 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
222 already in use - bind(2)".
224 - Released: Revision "20131215"
226 2013-12-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
229 - Added a new program, bin/usiToCsa.rb, which is a bridge for a
230 USI engine to connect to the Shogi-server.
231 - bin/usiToCsa is a sample wrapper script.
233 2013-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
236 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb:
237 - Added a log message.
239 2013-12-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
242 - shogi-server/shogi_server/pairing.rb:
243 - Modified comment for LeastDiff match.
244 - Changed log messages and levels.
246 2013-12-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
249 - shogi_server/pairing.rb, player.rb:
250 Simplify estimated rate of unrated players (less memory).
251 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
252 Now it supports "set sacrifice <player_id>"; it sets a
253 sacrificed player for a specific Floodgate game.
254 ex. set sacrifice gps500+e293220e3f8a3e59f79f6b0efffaa931
256 2013-12-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
259 - Added a new pairing method, ShogiServer::ExcludeUnratedPlayers,
260 which filters out unrated players.
261 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
262 Now it supports "set pairing_factory <function_name>"; it sets a
263 factory function name generating a pairing method which will be
264 used in a specific Floodgate game.
265 ex. set pairing_factory floodgate_zyunisen
266 - Implemented conversion of move representation between CSA format
269 2013-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
272 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
273 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
275 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
276 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
277 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
278 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
279 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
280 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
281 already in use - bind(2)".
283 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
284 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
285 - Removed files that are no longer used.
287 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
290 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
291 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
292 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
293 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
295 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
298 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
301 - Flush after each output line.
302 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
304 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
307 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
308 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
309 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
311 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
314 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
315 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
316 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
317 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
318 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
319 miniute is regarded as zero.
320 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
321 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
323 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
326 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
327 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
328 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
330 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
332 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
335 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
336 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
337 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
338 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
339 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
340 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
342 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
345 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
346 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
347 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
348 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
349 where the previous position of the last one.
350 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
351 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
352 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
353 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
354 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
355 previous stable position.
356 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60
358 2012-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>

408 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
409 This issue has been fixed.
411 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
414 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
415 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
416 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
417 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.

441 2010-10-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
444 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
445 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
447 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
450 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
451 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
452 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
453 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
455 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
458 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
459 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
460 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
461 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
462 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
464 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
465 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
466 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
468 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
471 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
472 The Buoy behavior is changed.
473 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
474 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
476 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
477 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
479 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
482 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
483 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
484 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
486 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
489 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
490 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
491 earlier than system time.
492 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
493 now returns an instance correctly.
494 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
495 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
496 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
497 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
499 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
502 - shogi_server/command.rb:
503 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
504 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
505 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
507 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
508 ShogiServer::Logger class.
509 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
510 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
511 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
513 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
515 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
518 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
519 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
520 This issue has been fixed.
522 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
525 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
526 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
527 instead of deep_copy().
529 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
532 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
534 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
535 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
536 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
539 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
542 - A new command line option:
543 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
544 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
547 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
548 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
549 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
551 - Floodgate time configuration file:
552 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
553 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
554 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
555 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
558 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
559 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
560 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
561 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
562 default time settings.

589 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
591 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
594 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
595 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
596 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
597 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
598 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
600 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
603 - shogi_server/player.rb:
604 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
607 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
610 - shogi_server/command.rb:
611 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
612 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
613 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
615 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
618 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
619 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
620 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
621 impatiently sending a move twice.
623 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
626 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
627 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
628 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
631 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
634 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
635 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
636 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
637 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
638 "*" is not available.
648 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
651 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
652 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
653 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
654 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
655 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
656 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
657 appended to the record file.
658 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
659 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
661 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
663 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
665 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
668 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
669 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
671 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
674 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
675 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
676 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
677 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
680 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
683 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
685 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
686 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
687 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
688 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
689 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
690 previous class: StartGame.
691 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
692 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
694 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
697 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
699 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
702 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
703 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
704 ignored for the calculation.
706 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
709 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
710 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
711 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
712 Instruction to use the game result list file:
713 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
715 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
716 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
717 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
718 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
720 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
722 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
725 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
726 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
727 requires two steps as follows:
728 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
729 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
731 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
734 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
737 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
738 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
739 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
740 players can play a new game with the game name.
742 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
744 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
745 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
746 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
748 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
749 specific position that you want to start with.
750 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
751 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
752 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
753 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
754 game is removed automatically by the server.
756 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
757 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
758 allowed to delete it.
759 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
760 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
761 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
762 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
766 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
769 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
771 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
774 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
775 issue has been fixed.
778 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
781 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
782 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
783 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
786 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
789 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
790 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
791 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
792 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
795 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
798 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
799 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
802 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
804 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
805 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
808 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
811 - Improved performance.
813 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
816 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
817 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
818 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
820 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
822 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
823 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
825 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
828 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
829 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
830 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
831 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
833 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
836 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
837 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
839 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
842 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
843 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
845 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
846 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
847 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
848 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
849 time out. (Closes: #14469)
851 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
854 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
855 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
856 wdoor should be written by using this option.
858 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
861 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
864 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
865 incomplete records are skipped.
866 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
867 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
868 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
869 names in command line arguments.
871 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
874 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
877 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
878 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
880 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
883 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
886 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
888 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
891 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
892 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
893 records are taken care of when games are matched.
895 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
897 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
898 - Display time control graphs as well.
899 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
902 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
905 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
906 - Daemon mode is available.
907 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
908 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
909 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
911 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
914 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
915 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
917 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
920 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
921 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
922 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
923 of the game. (Closes #12821)
924 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
925 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
926 it might have prevented other players from processing until
927 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
929 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
932 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
933 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
936 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
939 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
941 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
944 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
945 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
947 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
950 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
951 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
952 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
953 sending a HUP signal to the server.
954 - The server log will be rotated daily.
956 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
959 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
960 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
961 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
962 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
963 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
965 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
968 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
970 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
973 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
974 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
976 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
977 method error in Pairing.
979 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
982 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
983 This bug has been fixed.
984 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
985 This issue has been fixed.
987 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
990 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
991 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
992 This change will help users browse a file list.
994 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
997 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
1000 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1003 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
1004 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
1007 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1010 - The half-life period is now configurable.
1011 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
1013 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1016 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
1018 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1021 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
1022 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
1024 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1027 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
1030 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1033 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
1034 issue has been fixed.
1035 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
1036 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
1037 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
1038 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
1041 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1044 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
1045 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
1046 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
1047 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
1049 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1051 * [util/players-graph.rb]
1052 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
1054 - Small PNG gets smaller.
1056 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1059 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
1060 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
1062 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1065 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
1066 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
1067 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
1069 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1072 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
1073 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
1074 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
1077 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1079 * [util/players-graph.rb]
1080 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
1082 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1085 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
1086 server. This issue has been fixed.
1088 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1091 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
1092 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
1093 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
1094 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
1097 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1100 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
1101 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
1102 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
1104 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
1105 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
1106 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
1108 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
1109 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
1111 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1114 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
1115 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
1117 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1120 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
1121 recently are not listed.
1123 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
1125 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1127 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
1128 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
1130 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
1132 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1134 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
1135 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
1136 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
1137 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
1138 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
1139 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
1140 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
1141 will be removed when the server shuts down.
1143 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1146 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
1147 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
1148 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
1149 day. This issue has been fixed.
1151 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1154 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
1155 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
1156 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
1158 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1161 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
1162 It may not work with lower verions.
1164 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1167 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
1168 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
1169 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
1171 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1174 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
1175 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
1176 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
1178 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
1179 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
1181 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1184 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
1185 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
1186 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
1187 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
1188 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
1189 - Show revision in a start up message.
1191 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1194 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
1195 send LF, the server sends back LF.
1196 - More care for socket errors.
1198 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1200 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
1201 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
1204 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1206 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
1208 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1211 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
1212 - Daemon mode is available.
1214 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1217 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
1218 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
1219 This issues has been fixed.
1221 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1224 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
1225 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
