21 2012-01-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
24 - shogi_server/floodgate.rb: Generating next time around the new
25 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
26 This issue has been fixed.
28 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
31 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
32 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
33 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
34 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.

61 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
62 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
64 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
67 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
68 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
69 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
70 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
72 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
75 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
76 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
77 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
78 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
79 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
81 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
82 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
83 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
85 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
88 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
89 The Buoy behaivor is changed.
90 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
91 position with the initial position and moves, instread of a
93 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
94 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
96 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
99 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
100 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
101 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
103 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
106 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
107 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
108 earlier than system time.
109 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
110 now returns an instance correctly.
111 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
112 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
113 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
114 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
116 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
119 - shogi_server/command.rb:
120 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
121 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
122 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
124 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
125 ShogiServer::Logger class.
126 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
127 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
128 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
130 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
132 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
135 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
136 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
137 This issue has been fixed.
139 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
142 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
143 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
144 instread of deep_copy().
146 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
149 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
151 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
152 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
153 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
156 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
159 - A new command line option:
160 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
161 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
164 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
165 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
166 previous versions, you need to spefify the game name in this new
168 - Floodgate time configuration file:
169 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
170 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgat
171 e group requires a correspoding configuration file named
172 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
175 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
176 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
177 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
178 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
179 defualt time settings.

199 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
200 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
202 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
205 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
206 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
208 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
211 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
212 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
213 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
214 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
215 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
217 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
220 - shogi_server/player.rb:
221 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
224 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
227 - shogi_server/command.rb:
228 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
229 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
230 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
232 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
235 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
236 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
237 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
238 impatiently sending a move twice.
240 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
243 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previouslly,
244 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
245 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
248 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
251 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
252 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
253 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
254 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
255 "*" is not available.
265 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
268 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
269 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
270 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
271 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
272 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
273 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
274 appended to the record file.
275 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
276 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
278 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
280 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
282 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
285 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
286 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
288 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
291 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
292 been deprectated. The server will decide history file names such
293 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
294 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
297 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
300 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
302 A human player is recommened to use a name ending with '_human'.
303 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
304 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
305 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
306 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instread of the
307 previous class: StartGame.
308 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
309 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
311 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
314 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
316 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
319 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
320 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
321 ignored for the calculation.
323 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
326 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
327 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
328 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
329 Instruction to use the game result list file:
330 1. Make a list of game results from exisiting CSA files with
332 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
333 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
334 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
335 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
337 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
339 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
342 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
343 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
344 requires two steps as follows:
345 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
346 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
348 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
351 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
354 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
355 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
356 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
357 players can play a new game with the game name.
359 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
361 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
362 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
363 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
365 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
366 spcific position that you want to start with.
367 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
368 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
369 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
370 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
371 game is removed automatically by the server.
373 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
374 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
375 allowed to delete it.
376 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
377 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
378 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
379 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
383 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
386 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
388 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
391 - An emtpy floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
392 issue has been fixed.
395 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
398 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
399 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
400 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
403 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
406 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
407 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
408 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
409 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
412 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
415 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
416 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
419 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
421 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
422 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
425 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
428 - Improved performance.
430 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
433 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
434 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
435 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
437 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
439 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
440 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
442 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
445 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
446 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
447 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
448 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
450 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
453 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
454 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
456 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
459 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
460 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
462 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
463 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
464 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
465 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
466 time out. (Closes: #14469)
468 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
471 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
472 the filename at the bottom of a genrated page. A text specific to
473 wdoor should be written by using this option.
475 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
478 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
481 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
482 incomplete records are skipped.
483 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
484 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
485 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
486 names in command line arguments.
488 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
491 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
494 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
495 by command line options, expecially in case of the daemon mode.
497 - A lotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
500 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
503 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
505 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
508 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
509 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
510 records are taken care of when games are matched.
512 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
514 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
515 - Display time control graphs as well.
516 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
519 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
522 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
523 - Daemon mode is available.
524 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
525 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
526 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
528 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
531 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
532 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
534 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
537 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
538 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
539 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
540 of the game. (Closes #12821)
541 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
542 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
543 it might have prevented other players from processing until
544 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
546 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
549 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
550 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
553 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
556 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
558 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
561 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
562 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
564 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
567 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
568 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
569 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
570 sending a HUP signal to the server.
571 - The server log will be rotated daily.
573 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
576 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
577 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
578 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
579 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
580 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
582 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
585 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
587 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
590 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
591 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
593 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
594 method error in Pairing.
596 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
599 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
600 This bug has been fixed.
601 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
602 This issue has been fixed.
604 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
607 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
608 "2008/05/05/*.csa". Thease days, we have many games in a day.
609 This change will help users browse a file list.
611 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
614 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
617 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
620 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
621 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
624 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
627 - The half-life period is now configurable.
628 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
630 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
633 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
635 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
638 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
639 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
641 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
644 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
647 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
650 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
651 issue has been fixed.
652 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
653 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
654 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
655 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her

661 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
662 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
663 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
664 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.

668 * [util/players-graph.rb]
669 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
671 - Small PNG gets smaller.
673 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
676 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
677 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
679 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
682 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
683 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
684 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
686 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
689 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
690 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
691 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
694 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
696 * [util/players-graph.rb]
697 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
699 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
702 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
703 server. This issue has been fixed.
705 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
708 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
709 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
710 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
711 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
714 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
717 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
718 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
719 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
721 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
722 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
723 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
725 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
726 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
728 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
731 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
732 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
734 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
737 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
738 recently are not listed.
740 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
742 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
744 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
745 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
747 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
749 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
751 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
752 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
753 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
754 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
755 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
756 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
757 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
758 will be removed when the server shuts down.
760 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
763 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
764 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
765 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
766 day. This issue has been fixed.
768 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
771 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
772 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
773 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
775 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
778 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
779 It may not work with lower verions.
781 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
784 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
785 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
786 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
788 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
791 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
792 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
793 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
795 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
796 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
798 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
801 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
802 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
803 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
804 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
805 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
806 - Show revision in a start up message.
808 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
811 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
812 send LF, the server sends back LF.
813 - More care for socket errors.
815 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
817 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
818 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
821 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
823 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
825 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
828 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
829 - Daemon mode is available.
831 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
834 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
835 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
836 This issues has been fixed.
838 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
841 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
842 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
844 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
846 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
848 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
849 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
851 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
853 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
854 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
855 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
856 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
859 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
862 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
863 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
864 least a game with other players.
865 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
866 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
868 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
870 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
872 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
874 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
875 the calculation to complete.
877 2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
879 * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password.

901 - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#.
903 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
906 - Re-design: trip is now a suffix of the password, not name.
907 - Simplified the output of %%RATING.
909 - Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same
910 before-@-names are mapped to one.
912 2006-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
914 * [mk_rate] Fix a bug. It solves the correct rate.
