20 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
21 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
22 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
24 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
27 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
28 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
29 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
30 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
31 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
32 miniute is regarded as zero.
33 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
34 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
36 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
39 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
40 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
41 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
43 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
45 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
48 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
49 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
50 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
51 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
52 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
53 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
55 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
58 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
59 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
60 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
61 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
62 where the previous position of the last one.
63 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
64 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
65 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
66 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
67 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
68 previous stable position.
69 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60

120 - shogi_server/floodgate.rb: Generating next time around the new
121 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
122 This issue has been fixed.
124 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
127 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
128 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
129 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
130 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.

157 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
158 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
160 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
163 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
164 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
165 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
166 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
168 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
171 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
172 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
173 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
174 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
175 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
177 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
178 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
179 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
181 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
184 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
185 The Buoy behavior is changed.
186 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
187 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
189 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
190 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
192 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
195 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
196 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
197 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
199 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
202 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
203 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
204 earlier than system time.
205 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
206 now returns an instance correctly.
207 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
208 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
209 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
210 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
212 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
215 - shogi_server/command.rb:
216 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
217 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
218 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
220 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
221 ShogiServer::Logger class.
222 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
223 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
224 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
226 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
228 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
231 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
232 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
233 This issue has been fixed.
235 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
238 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
239 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
240 instead of deep_copy().
242 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
245 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
247 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
248 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
249 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
252 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
255 - A new command line option:
256 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
257 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
260 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
261 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
262 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
264 - Floodgate time configuration file:
265 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
266 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
267 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
268 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
271 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
272 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
273 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
274 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
275 default time settings.

295 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
296 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
298 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
301 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
302 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
304 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
307 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
308 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
309 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
310 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
311 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
313 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
316 - shogi_server/player.rb:
317 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
320 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
323 - shogi_server/command.rb:
324 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
325 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
326 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
328 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
331 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
332 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
333 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
334 impatiently sending a move twice.
336 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
339 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
340 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
341 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
344 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
347 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
348 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
349 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
350 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
351 "*" is not available.
361 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
364 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
365 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
366 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
367 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
368 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
369 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
370 appended to the record file.
371 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
372 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
374 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
376 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
378 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
381 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
382 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
384 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
387 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
388 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
389 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
390 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
393 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
396 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
398 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
399 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
400 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
401 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
402 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
403 previous class: StartGame.
404 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
405 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
407 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
410 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
412 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
415 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
416 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
417 ignored for the calculation.
419 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
422 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
423 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
424 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
425 Instruction to use the game result list file:
426 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
428 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
429 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
430 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
431 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
433 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
435 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
438 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
439 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
440 requires two steps as follows:
441 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
442 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
444 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
447 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
450 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
451 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
452 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
453 players can play a new game with the game name.
455 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
457 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
458 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
459 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
461 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
462 specific position that you want to start with.
463 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
464 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
465 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
466 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
467 game is removed automatically by the server.
469 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
470 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
471 allowed to delete it.
472 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
473 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
474 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
475 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
479 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
482 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
484 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
487 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
488 issue has been fixed.
491 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
494 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
495 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
496 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
499 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
502 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
503 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
504 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
505 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
508 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
511 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
512 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
515 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
517 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
518 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
521 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
524 - Improved performance.
526 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
529 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
530 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
531 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
533 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
535 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
536 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
538 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
541 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
542 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
543 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
544 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
546 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
549 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
550 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
552 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
555 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
556 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
558 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
559 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
560 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
561 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
562 time out. (Closes: #14469)
564 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
567 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
568 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
569 wdoor should be written by using this option.
571 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
574 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
577 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
578 incomplete records are skipped.
579 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
580 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
581 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
582 names in command line arguments.
584 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
587 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
590 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
591 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
593 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
596 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
599 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
601 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
604 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
605 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
606 records are taken care of when games are matched.
608 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
610 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
611 - Display time control graphs as well.
612 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
615 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
618 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
619 - Daemon mode is available.
620 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
621 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
622 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
624 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
627 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
628 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
630 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
633 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
634 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
635 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
636 of the game. (Closes #12821)
637 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
638 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
639 it might have prevented other players from processing until
640 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
642 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
645 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
646 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
649 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
652 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
654 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
657 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
658 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
660 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
663 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
664 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
665 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
666 sending a HUP signal to the server.
667 - The server log will be rotated daily.
669 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
672 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
673 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
674 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
675 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
676 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
678 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
681 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
683 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
686 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
687 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
689 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
690 method error in Pairing.
692 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
695 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
696 This bug has been fixed.
697 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
698 This issue has been fixed.
700 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
703 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
704 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
705 This change will help users browse a file list.
707 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
710 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
713 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
716 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
717 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
720 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
723 - The half-life period is now configurable.
724 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
726 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
729 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
731 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
734 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
735 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
737 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
740 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
743 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
746 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
747 issue has been fixed.
748 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
749 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
750 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
751 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
754 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
757 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
758 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
759 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
760 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
762 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
764 * [util/players-graph.rb]
765 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
767 - Small PNG gets smaller.
769 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
772 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
773 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
775 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
778 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
779 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
780 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
782 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
785 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
786 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
787 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
790 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
792 * [util/players-graph.rb]
793 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
795 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
798 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
799 server. This issue has been fixed.
801 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
804 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
805 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
806 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
807 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
810 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
813 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
814 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
815 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
817 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
818 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
819 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
821 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
822 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
824 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
827 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
828 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
830 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
833 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
834 recently are not listed.
836 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
838 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
840 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
841 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
843 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
845 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
847 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
848 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
849 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
850 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
851 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
852 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
853 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
854 will be removed when the server shuts down.
856 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
859 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
860 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
861 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
862 day. This issue has been fixed.
864 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
867 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
868 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
869 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
871 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
874 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
875 It may not work with lower verions.
877 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
880 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
881 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
882 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
884 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
887 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
888 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
889 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
891 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
892 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
894 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
897 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
898 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
899 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
900 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
901 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
902 - Show revision in a start up message.
904 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
907 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
908 send LF, the server sends back LF.
909 - More care for socket errors.
911 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
913 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
914 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
917 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
919 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
921 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
924 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
925 - Daemon mode is available.
927 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
930 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
931 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
932 This issues has been fixed.
934 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
937 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
938 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
940 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
942 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
944 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
945 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
947 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
949 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
950 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
951 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
952 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
955 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
958 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
959 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
960 least a game with other players.
961 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
962 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
964 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
966 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
968 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
970 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
971 the calculation to complete.
973 2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
975 * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password.
977 2006-09-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
979 * [shogi-server] Refactored the login procedures.
981 2006-09-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
983 * [mk_rate] It failed parse draw games. Now this bug has been fixed.
984 * [mk_html] Add CSS to look better.
986 2006-09-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
989 - Remove the trip in a password. Now the password is hashed.
991 - Support @NORATE syntax in a name, which avoids the player is
994 2006-09-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
997 - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#.
999 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1002 - Re-design: trip is now a suffix of the password, not name.
1003 - Simplified the output of %%RATING.
1005 - Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same
1006 before-@-names are mapped to one.
1008 2006-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1010 * [mk_rate] Fix a bug. It solves the correct rate.
1012 2006-08-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1014 * [mk_rate] Re-design.
1015 - Correct the equations.
