1 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
4 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
7 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
10 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
11 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
12 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
14 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
17 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
18 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
19 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
20 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
21 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
22 miniute is regarded as zero.
23 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
24 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
26 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
29 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
30 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
31 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
33 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
35 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
38 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
39 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
40 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
41 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
42 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
43 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
45 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
48 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
49 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
50 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
51 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
52 where the previous position of the last one.
53 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
54 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
55 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
56 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
57 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
58 previous stable position.
59 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60
61 2012-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
64 - Backported a5c94012656902e73e00f46e7a4c7004b24d4578:
65 test/TC_logger.rb depeneded on a specific directory where it was
66 running on. This issues has been fixed.
67 - Backported 87d145bd1f1a14a33f5f6fbc78b63a1952f1ca90 and
68 2df8c798aeb7f0e77735e893fd1370c2c6f15c4d:
69 shogi_server/floodgate.rb: Generating next time around the new
70 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
71 This issue has been fixed.
73 2012-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
76 - shogi_server/pairing.rb:
77 + There was a bug in the logic avoiding human-human match.
78 This issue has been fixed.
79 + Improved the logic avoiding human-human match. Human-human
80 matches will less likely happen.
82 2010-10-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
85 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
86 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
88 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
91 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
92 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
93 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
94 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
96 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
99 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
100 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
101 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
102 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
103 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
105 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
106 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
107 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
109 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
112 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
113 The Buoy behaivor is changed.
114 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
115 position with the initial position and moves, instread of a
117 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
118 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
120 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
123 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
124 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
125 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
127 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
130 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
131 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
132 earlier than system time.
133 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
134 now returns an instance correctly.
135 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
136 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
137 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
138 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
140 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
143 - shogi_server/command.rb:
144 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
145 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
146 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
148 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
149 ShogiServer::Logger class.
150 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
151 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
152 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
154 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
156 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
159 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
160 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
161 This issue has been fixed.
163 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
166 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
167 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
168 instread of deep_copy().
170 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
173 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
175 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
176 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
177 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
180 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
183 - A new command line option:
184 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
185 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
188 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
189 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
190 previous versions, you need to spefify the game name in this new
192 - Floodgate time configuration file:
193 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
194 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgat
195 e group requires a correspoding configuration file named
196 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
199 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
200 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
201 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
202 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
203 defualt time settings.

223 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
224 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
226 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
229 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
230 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
232 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
235 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
236 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
237 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
238 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
239 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
241 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
244 - shogi_server/player.rb:
245 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
248 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
251 - shogi_server/command.rb:
252 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
253 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
254 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
256 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
259 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
260 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
261 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
262 impatiently sending a move twice.
264 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
267 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previouslly,
268 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
269 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
272 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
275 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
276 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
277 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
278 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
279 "*" is not available.
289 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
292 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
293 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
294 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
295 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
296 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
297 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
298 appended to the record file.
299 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
300 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
302 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
304 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
306 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
309 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
310 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
312 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
315 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
316 been deprectated. The server will decide history file names such
317 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
318 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
321 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
324 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
326 A human player is recommened to use a name ending with '_human'.
327 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
328 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
329 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
330 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instread of the
331 previous class: StartGame.
332 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
333 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
335 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
338 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
340 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
343 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
344 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
345 ignored for the calculation.
347 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
350 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
351 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
352 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
353 Instruction to use the game result list file:
354 1. Make a list of game results from exisiting CSA files with
356 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
357 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
358 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
359 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
361 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
363 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
366 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
367 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
368 requires two steps as follows:
369 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
370 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
372 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
375 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
378 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
379 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
380 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
381 players can play a new game with the game name.
383 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
385 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
386 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
387 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
389 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
390 spcific position that you want to start with.
391 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
392 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
393 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
394 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
395 game is removed automatically by the server.
397 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
398 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
399 allowed to delete it.
400 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
401 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
402 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
403 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
407 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
410 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
412 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
415 - An emtpy floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
416 issue has been fixed.
419 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
422 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
423 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
424 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
427 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
430 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
431 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
432 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
433 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
436 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
439 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
440 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
443 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
445 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
446 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
449 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
452 - Improved performance.
454 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
457 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
458 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
459 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
461 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
463 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
464 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
466 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
469 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
470 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
471 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
472 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
474 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
477 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
478 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
480 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
483 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
484 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
486 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
487 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
488 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
489 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
490 time out. (Closes: #14469)
492 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
495 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
496 the filename at the bottom of a genrated page. A text specific to
497 wdoor should be written by using this option.
499 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
502 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
505 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
506 incomplete records are skipped.
507 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
508 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
509 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
510 names in command line arguments.
512 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
515 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
518 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
519 by command line options, expecially in case of the daemon mode.
521 - A lotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
524 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
527 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
529 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
532 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
533 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
534 records are taken care of when games are matched.
536 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
538 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
539 - Display time control graphs as well.
540 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
543 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
546 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
547 - Daemon mode is available.
548 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
549 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
550 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
552 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
555 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
556 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
558 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
561 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
562 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
563 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
564 of the game. (Closes #12821)
565 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
566 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
567 it might have prevented other players from processing until
568 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
570 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
573 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
574 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
577 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
580 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
582 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
585 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
586 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
588 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
591 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
592 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
593 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
594 sending a HUP signal to the server.
595 - The server log will be rotated daily.
597 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
600 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
601 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
602 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
603 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
604 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
606 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
609 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
611 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
614 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
615 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
617 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
618 method error in Pairing.
620 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
623 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
624 This bug has been fixed.
625 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
626 This issue has been fixed.
628 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
631 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as

638 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
641 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
644 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
645 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
648 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
651 - The half-life period is now configurable.
652 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
654 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
657 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
659 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
662 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
663 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
665 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
668 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
671 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
674 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
675 issue has been fixed.
676 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
677 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
678 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
679 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
682 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
685 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
686 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
687 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
688 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
690 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
692 * [util/players-graph.rb]
693 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
695 - Small PNG gets smaller.
697 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
700 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
701 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
703 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
706 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
707 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
708 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
710 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
713 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
714 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
715 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
718 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
720 * [util/players-graph.rb]
721 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
723 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
726 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
727 server. This issue has been fixed.
729 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
732 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
733 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
734 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
735 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
738 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
741 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
742 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
743 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
745 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
746 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
747 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
749 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
750 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
752 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
755 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
756 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
758 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
761 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
762 recently are not listed.
764 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
766 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
768 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
769 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
771 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
773 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
775 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
776 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
777 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
778 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
779 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
780 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
781 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
782 will be removed when the server shuts down.
784 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
787 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
788 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
789 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
790 day. This issue has been fixed.
792 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
795 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
796 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
797 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
799 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
802 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
803 It may not work with lower verions.
805 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
808 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
809 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
810 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
812 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
815 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
816 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
817 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
819 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
820 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
822 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
825 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
826 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
827 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
828 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
829 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
830 - Show revision in a start up message.
832 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
835 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
836 send LF, the server sends back LF.
837 - More care for socket errors.
839 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
841 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
842 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
845 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
847 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
849 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
852 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
853 - Daemon mode is available.
855 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
858 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.

868 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
870 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
872 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
873 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
875 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
877 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
878 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
879 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
880 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
883 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
886 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
887 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
888 least a game with other players.
889 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
890 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
892 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
894 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
896 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>

925 - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#.
927 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>

931 - Simplified the output of %%RATING.
933 - Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same
934 before-@-names are mapped to one.
936 2006-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
