3 * [shogi-server] Allow to customize maximum lenght of a login indentifier
5 - The current maximum length of a login identifier is 32. Some
6 private uses require longer player names to distinguish each other
7 by specifying randomly generated tokens. It would of help to add a
8 new command line option --max-identifier to overwrite the default
10 * Build a Docker image for Shogi-server
12 - Build a Docker image
14 - Running a local shogi-server would look like
15 % docker pull shogiserver/shogiserver
16 % docker run -p 4081:4081 -v `pwd`/logs:/logs shogiserver/shogiserver
17 * [shogi-server] shogi_server/game.rb:
18 - Remove a debug message
20 2016-04-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
23 - Support Fischer time control.
24 * [shogi-server] Bump up the revision to 20160409.
26 2016-04-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
28 * [shogi-server] Support Fischer Time Control
30 - Fischer time control means that:
31 Before a player has made their move, a specified time increment is
32 added to their clock. Time can be accumulated, so if the player
33 moves within the delay period, their remaining time actually
35 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_clock)
36 - New syntax of game names:
37 An 'F' suffix denotes a Fisher time in seconds. For example,
38 "floodgate-600-10F" specifies
40 + Total allotted time is 600 seconds for each player
41 + 10-second increment before a player's move in a Fischer way
42 - The server now proposes game conditions upon a game start with
43 - "Protocol_Version 1.2"
44 - "Increment:<n>" for Fischer Time Control
45 - Kifu files can include the following comment for Fischer Time
48 * [shogi-server] Fix some lint warnings.
50 2015-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
52 * [shogi-server] Enhance capability of Floodgate configuration file
53 - New parameter: Max_Moves, defined in the CSA protocol
55 - New parameter: Least_Time_Per_Move, defined in the CSA protocol
56 ex. set Least_Time_Per_Move 0
57 - Proposed messages distributed to each player upon starting a new
58 game will include Max_Moves as well as Least_Time_Per_Move.
59 - CSA files produced by the server will include settings of
60 Max_Moves and Least_Time_Per_Move in comment lines as follows:
62 'Least_Time_Per_Move:0
63 - The official Shogi-server on wdoor.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp will
64 be running with different parameters, depending on game names.
65 a) Max_Moves will be 256 for floodgate-600-10 games;
67 b) Least_Time_Per_Move will be 0 for floodgate-600-10 games;
70 * [shogi-server] shogi_server/pairing.rb:
71 - LeastDiff attempts more trials, depending of a number of players
72 to be matched, top achieve more optimized matching combinations.
74 2015-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
76 * [shogi-server] shogi_server/time_clock.rb:
77 - A time consumed could be -1.
78 * The start time of a move is captured after sending a move to a
79 player of the next turn at the end of the giant lock
80 * The end time of the move is captured at the exact time when the
81 server receives it before the giant lock
82 Therefore, end_time < start_time is possible when a player returns a
84 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for reporting this issue.
87 2015-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
90 - Updated to investigate floodgate-600-10 games.
92 http://www.sgtpepper.net/hyspro/diary/20150214.html.
93 - Added a companion R script: histogram.R
95 2015-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
98 - shogi_server/login.rb: When players are logged in, log their
99 player_id if they have it.
101 2015-01-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
104 - Getting an absolute path of this file was wrong if it was a
105 symbolic link. This issue has been addressed.
107 - Links to details pages for players now use a relative path so
108 that it works on a testing site.
110 2015-01-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
113 - shogi-server, shogi_server/{command,game_result,player}.rb:
114 The change at 2014-10-13 was not worked as expected. Reworked.
115 A player, attempting to login with the current live player
116 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
119 2015-01-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
122 - shogi_server.rb: Follow an API change in a upstream class:
123 LogDevice.previous_period_end
125 2014-12-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
128 - When a non-rated player participates in Floodgate, the following exception
129 was thrown and a Floodgate game would not start:
130 undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
131 ["/home/shogi-server/www/x/shogi_server/pairing.rb:499:in `block
132 in calculate_diff_with_penalty'"
133 This issue has been resolved. Only players who have player ID
134 (i.e. those who log in with valid password) are now allowed to
135 participate in Floodgate as the spec web page
136 [http://shogi-server.sourceforge.jp/rating.html] describes.
138 2014-12-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
141 - Addressed Ruby incompatibility on ShogiServer::Usi::alphabetToDan.
142 It (and usiToCsa.rb) did not work with Ruby 1.9.3. This issue
144 Thanks to Hiraoka-san for debugging.
146 2014-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
148 * utils/eval_graph.rb:
149 - Gnuplot 4.6.6 drew evaluation-value lines with a dashed style.
150 This issue has now been addressed so that solid lines are used.
152 2014-11-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
157 2014-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
160 - Ruby 2.0.0 or later is recommended to use with shogi-server
161 since Ruby 1.8 reached its End-of-Life on the end of July, 2014.
163 - Addressed a warning of duplicated range in a regular expression.
165 2014-10-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
168 - A player, attempting to login with the current live player
169 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
171 - Kifu record files now includes rating scores of players at the
172 time when games start. Previously, for rating games, a record
173 file includes player IDs of both players with a line starting with
174 "'rating". Now it also shows rating scores for players who have
175 valid scores. The formats for black and white players are as
177 'black_rate:<player_id>:<score>
178 'white_rate:<player_id>:<score>
180 'rating:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790
181 'black_rate:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2763.0
182 'white_rate:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2345.0
184 2014-10-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
187 - New feature: max moves
188 - New command line option: --max-moves n
189 When a game with the n-th move played does not end, make the
190 game a draw (default 256 in compliance with CSA Protocol V1.2
191 or later). Setting 0 disables this feature for
192 CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
193 - Players will receive a new message, "#MAX_MOVES", upon an end
197 - A new log summary type, "max_moves", has been assigned for games
198 drawing with max moves.
199 'summary:max_moves:name_sente draw:name_gote draw
200 - Least time per move:
201 - New command line option: --least-time-per-move n
202 This option specifies a least time in second per move, which
203 is 0 second by default, meaning that a decimal
204 fraction of time for a move will be truncated in compliance
205 with CSA Protocol V1.2 or later.
206 Set 1 for CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
208 2014-07-19 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
211 - Added a new option, --abnormal-threshold n:
212 Games that end with the 'abnormal' status are counted in
213 win/lost games for the rating calculation if a game plays more
214 than n plies. Otherwise (or if n is zero), abnormal games are
215 counted out of rating games.
217 2014-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
220 - Released: Revision "20140107"
222 2013-12-29 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
225 - Previously, parameters in Floodgate time configuration file were
226 not applied to actual instances. This issue has been fixed.
228 2013-12-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
231 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Impose penalty on matches between
234 2013-12-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
237 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
238 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
239 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
240 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
241 already in use - bind(2)".
243 - Released: Revision "20131215"
245 2013-12-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
248 - Added a new program, bin/usiToCsa.rb, which is a bridge for a
249 USI engine to connect to the Shogi-server.
250 - bin/usiToCsa is a sample wrapper script.
252 2013-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
255 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb:
256 - Added a log message.
258 2013-12-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
261 - shogi-server/shogi_server/pairing.rb:
262 - Modified comment for LeastDiff match.
263 - Changed log messages and levels.
265 2013-12-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
268 - shogi_server/pairing.rb, player.rb:
269 Simplify estimated rate of unrated players (less memory).
270 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
271 Now it supports "set sacrifice <player_id>"; it sets a
272 sacrificed player for a specific Floodgate game.
273 ex. set sacrifice gps500+e293220e3f8a3e59f79f6b0efffaa931
275 2013-12-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
278 - Added a new pairing method, ShogiServer::ExcludeUnratedPlayers,
279 which filters out unrated players.
280 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
281 Now it supports "set pairing_factory <function_name>"; it sets a
282 factory function name generating a pairing method which will be
283 used in a specific Floodgate game.
284 ex. set pairing_factory floodgate_zyunisen
285 - Implemented conversion of move representation between CSA format
288 2013-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
291 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
292 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
294 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
295 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
296 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
297 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
298 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
299 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
300 already in use - bind(2)".
302 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
303 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
304 - Removed files that are no longer used.
306 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
309 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
310 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
311 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
312 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
314 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
317 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
320 - Flush after each output line.
321 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
323 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
326 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
327 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
328 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
330 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
333 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
334 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
335 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
336 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
337 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
338 miniute is regarded as zero.
339 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
340 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
342 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
345 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
346 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
347 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
349 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
351 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
354 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
355 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
356 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
357 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
358 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
359 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
361 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
364 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
365 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
366 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
367 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
368 where the previous position of the last one.
369 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
370 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
371 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
372 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
373 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
374 previous stable position.
375 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60
377 2012-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
380 - Backported a5c94012656902e73e00f46e7a4c7004b24d4578:

427 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
428 This issue has been fixed.
430 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
433 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
434 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
435 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
436 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.

463 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
464 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
466 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
469 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
470 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
471 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
472 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
474 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
477 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
478 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
479 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
480 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
481 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
483 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
484 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
485 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
487 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
490 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
491 The Buoy behavior is changed.
492 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
493 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
495 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
496 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
498 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
501 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
502 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
503 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
505 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
508 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
509 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
510 earlier than system time.
511 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
512 now returns an instance correctly.
513 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
514 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
515 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
516 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
518 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
521 - shogi_server/command.rb:
522 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
523 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
524 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
526 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
527 ShogiServer::Logger class.
528 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
529 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
530 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
532 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
534 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
537 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
538 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
539 This issue has been fixed.
541 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
544 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
545 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
546 instead of deep_copy().
548 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
551 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
553 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
554 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
555 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
558 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
561 - A new command line option:
562 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
563 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
566 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
567 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
568 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
570 - Floodgate time configuration file:
571 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
572 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
573 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
574 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
577 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
578 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
579 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
580 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
581 default time settings.

601 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
602 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
604 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
607 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
608 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
610 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
613 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
614 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
615 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
616 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
617 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
619 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
622 - shogi_server/player.rb:
623 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
626 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
629 - shogi_server/command.rb:
630 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
631 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
632 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
634 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
637 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
638 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
639 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
640 impatiently sending a move twice.
642 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
645 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
646 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
647 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
650 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
653 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
654 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
655 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
656 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
657 "*" is not available.
667 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
670 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
671 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
672 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
673 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
674 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
675 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
676 appended to the record file.
677 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
678 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
680 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
682 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
684 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
687 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
688 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
690 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
693 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
694 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
695 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
696 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
699 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
702 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
704 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
705 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
706 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
707 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
708 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
709 previous class: StartGame.
710 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
711 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
713 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
716 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
718 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
721 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
722 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
723 ignored for the calculation.
725 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
728 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
729 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
730 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
731 Instruction to use the game result list file:
732 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
734 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
735 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
736 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
737 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
739 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
741 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
744 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
745 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
746 requires two steps as follows:
747 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
748 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
750 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
753 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
756 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
757 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
758 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
759 players can play a new game with the game name.
761 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
763 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
764 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
765 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
767 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
768 specific position that you want to start with.
769 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
770 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
771 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
772 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
773 game is removed automatically by the server.
775 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
776 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
777 allowed to delete it.
778 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
779 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
780 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
781 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
785 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
788 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
790 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
793 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
794 issue has been fixed.
797 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
800 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
801 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
802 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
805 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
808 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
809 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
810 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
811 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
814 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
817 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
818 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
821 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
823 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
824 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
827 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
830 - Improved performance.
832 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
835 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
836 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
837 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
839 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
841 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
842 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
844 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
847 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
848 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
849 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
850 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
852 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
855 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
856 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
858 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
861 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
862 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
864 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
865 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
866 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
867 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
868 time out. (Closes: #14469)
870 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
873 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
874 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
875 wdoor should be written by using this option.
877 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
880 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
883 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
884 incomplete records are skipped.
885 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
886 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
887 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
888 names in command line arguments.
890 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
893 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
896 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
897 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
899 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
902 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
905 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
907 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
910 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
911 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
912 records are taken care of when games are matched.
914 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
916 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
917 - Display time control graphs as well.
918 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
921 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
924 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
925 - Daemon mode is available.
926 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
927 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
928 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
930 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
933 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
934 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
936 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
939 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
940 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
941 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
942 of the game. (Closes #12821)
943 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
944 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
945 it might have prevented other players from processing until
946 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
948 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
951 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
952 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
955 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
958 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
960 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
963 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
964 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
966 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
969 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
970 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
971 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
972 sending a HUP signal to the server.
973 - The server log will be rotated daily.
975 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
978 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
979 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
980 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
981 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
982 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
984 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
987 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
989 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
992 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
993 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
995 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
996 method error in Pairing.
998 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1001 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
1002 This bug has been fixed.
1003 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
1004 This issue has been fixed.
1006 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1009 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
1010 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
1011 This change will help users browse a file list.
1013 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1016 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
1019 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1022 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
1023 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
1026 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1029 - The half-life period is now configurable.
1030 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
1032 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1035 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
1037 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1040 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
1041 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
1043 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1046 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
1049 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1052 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
1053 issue has been fixed.
1054 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
1055 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
1056 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
1057 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
1060 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1063 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
1064 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
1065 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
1066 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
1068 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1070 * [util/players-graph.rb]
1071 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
1073 - Small PNG gets smaller.
1075 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1078 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
1079 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
1081 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1084 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
1085 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
1086 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
1088 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1091 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
1092 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
1093 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
1096 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1098 * [util/players-graph.rb]
1099 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
1101 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1104 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
1105 server. This issue has been fixed.
1107 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1110 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
1111 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
1112 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
1113 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
1116 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1119 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
1120 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
1121 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
1123 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
1124 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
1125 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
1127 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
1128 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
1130 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1133 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
1134 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
1136 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1139 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
1140 recently are not listed.
1142 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
1144 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1146 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
1147 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
1149 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
1151 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1153 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
1154 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
1155 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
1156 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
1157 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
1158 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
1159 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
1160 will be removed when the server shuts down.
1162 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1165 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
1166 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
1167 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
1168 day. This issue has been fixed.
1170 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1173 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
1174 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
1175 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
1177 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1180 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
1181 It may not work with lower verions.
1183 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1186 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
1187 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
1188 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
1190 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1193 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
1194 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
1195 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
1197 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
1198 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
1200 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1203 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
1204 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
1205 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
1206 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
1207 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
1208 - Show revision in a start up message.
1210 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1213 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
1214 send LF, the server sends back LF.
1215 - More care for socket errors.
1217 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1219 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
1220 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
1223 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1225 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
