3 * [shogi-server] Enhance capability of Floodgate configuration file
4 - New parameter: Max_Moves, defined in the CSA protocol
6 - New parameter: Least_Time_Per_Move, defined in the CSA protocol
7 ex. set Least_Time_Per_Move 0
8 - Proposed messages distributed to each player upon starting a new
9 game will include Max_Moves as well as Least_Time_Per_Move.
10 - CSA files produced by the server will include settings of
11 Max_Moves and Least_Time_Per_Move in comment lines as follows:
13 'Least_Time_Per_Move:0
14 - The official Shogi-server on wdoor.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp will
15 be running with different parameters, depending on game names.
16 a) Max_Moves will be 256 for floodgate-600-10 games;
18 b) Least_Time_Per_Move will be 0 for floodgate-600-10 games;
21 * [shogi-server] shogi_server/pairing.rb:
22 - LeastDiff attempts more trials, depending of a number of players
23 to be matched, top achieve more optimized matching combinations.
25 2015-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
27 * [shogi-server] shogi_server/time_clock.rb:
28 - A time consumed could be -1.
29 * The start time of a move is captured after sending a move to a
30 player of the next turn at the end of the giant lock
31 * The end time of the move is captured at the exact time when the
32 server receives it before the giant lock
33 Therefore, end_time < start_time is possible when a player returns a
35 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for reporting this issue.
38 2015-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
41 - Updated to investigate floodgate-600-10 games.
43 http://www.sgtpepper.net/hyspro/diary/20150214.html.
44 - Added a companion R script: histogram.R
46 2015-01-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
49 - Getting an absolute path of this file was wrong if it was a
50 symbolic link. This issue has been addressed.
52 - Links to details pages for players now use a relative path so
53 that it works on a testing site.
55 2015-01-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
58 - shogi-server, shogi_server/{command,game_result,player}.rb:
59 The change at 2014-10-13 was not worked as expected. Reworked.
60 A player, attempting to login with the current live player
61 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
64 2015-01-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
67 - shogi_server.rb: Follow an API change in a upstream class:
68 LogDevice.previous_period_end
70 2014-12-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
73 - When a non-rated player participates in Floodgate, the following exception
74 was thrown and a Floodgate game would not start:
75 undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
76 ["/home/shogi-server/www/x/shogi_server/pairing.rb:499:in `block
77 in calculate_diff_with_penalty'"
78 This issue has been resolved. Only players who have player ID
79 (i.e. those who log in with valid password) are now allowed to
80 participate in Floodgate as the spec web page
81 [http://shogi-server.sourceforge.jp/rating.html] describes.
83 2014-12-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
86 - Addressed Ruby incompatibility on ShogiServer::Usi::alphabetToDan.
87 It (and usiToCsa.rb) did not work with Ruby 1.9.3. This issue
89 Thanks to Hiraoka-san for debugging.
91 2014-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
93 * utils/eval_graph.rb:
94 - Gnuplot 4.6.6 drew evaluation-value lines with a dashed style.
95 This issue has now been addressed so that solid lines are used.
97 2014-11-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
102 2014-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
105 - Ruby 2.0.0 or later is recommended to use with shogi-server
106 since Ruby 1.8 reached its End-of-Life on the end of July, 2014.
108 - Addressed a warning of duplicated range in a regular expression.
110 2014-10-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
113 - A player, attempting to login with the current live player
114 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
116 - Kifu record files now includes rating scores of players at the
117 time when games start. Previously, for rating games, a record
118 file includes player IDs of both players with a line starting with
119 "'rating". Now it also shows rating scores for players who have
120 valid scores. The formats for black and white players are as
122 'black_rate:<player_id>:<score>
123 'white_rate:<player_id>:<score>
125 'rating:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790
126 'black_rate:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2763.0
127 'white_rate:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2345.0
129 2014-10-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
132 - New feature: max moves
133 - New command line option: --max-moves n
134 When a game with the n-th move played does not end, make the
135 game a draw (default 256 in compliance with CSA Protocol V1.2
136 or later). Setting 0 disables this feature for
137 CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
138 - Players will receive a new message, "#MAX_MOVES", upon an end
142 - A new log summary type, "max_moves", has been assigned for games
143 drawing with max moves.
144 'summary:max_moves:name_sente draw:name_gote draw
145 - Least time per move:
146 - New command line option: --least-time-per-move n
147 This option specifies a least time in second per move, which
148 is 0 second by default, meaning that a decimal
149 fraction of time for a move will be truncated in compliance
150 with CSA Protocol V1.2 or later.
151 Set 1 for CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
153 2014-07-19 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
156 - Added a new option, --abnormal-threshold n:
157 Games that end with the 'abnormal' status are counted in
158 win/lost games for the rating calculation if a game plays more
159 than n plies. Otherwise (or if n is zero), abnormal games are
160 counted out of rating games.
162 2014-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
165 - Released: Revision "20140107"
167 2013-12-29 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
170 - Previously, parameters in Floodgate time configuration file were
171 not applied to actual instances. This issue has been fixed.
173 2013-12-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
176 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Impose penalty on matches between
179 2013-12-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
182 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
183 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
184 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
185 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
186 already in use - bind(2)".
188 - Released: Revision "20131215"
190 2013-12-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
193 - Added a new program, bin/usiToCsa.rb, which is a bridge for a
194 USI engine to connect to the Shogi-server.
195 - bin/usiToCsa is a sample wrapper script.
197 2013-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
200 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb:
201 - Added a log message.
203 2013-12-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
206 - shogi-server/shogi_server/pairing.rb:
207 - Modified comment for LeastDiff match.
208 - Changed log messages and levels.
210 2013-12-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
213 - shogi_server/pairing.rb, player.rb:
214 Simplify estimated rate of unrated players (less memory).
215 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
216 Now it supports "set sacrifice <player_id>"; it sets a
217 sacrificed player for a specific Floodgate game.
218 ex. set sacrifice gps500+e293220e3f8a3e59f79f6b0efffaa931
220 2013-12-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
223 - Added a new pairing method, ShogiServer::ExcludeUnratedPlayers,
224 which filters out unrated players.
225 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
226 Now it supports "set pairing_factory <function_name>"; it sets a
227 factory function name generating a pairing method which will be
228 used in a specific Floodgate game.
229 ex. set pairing_factory floodgate_zyunisen
230 - Implemented conversion of move representation between CSA format
233 2013-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
236 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
237 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
239 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
240 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
241 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
242 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
243 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
244 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
245 already in use - bind(2)".
247 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
248 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
249 - Removed files that are no longer used.
251 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
254 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
255 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
256 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
257 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
259 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
262 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
265 - Flush after each output line.
266 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
268 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
271 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
272 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
273 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
275 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
278 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
279 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
280 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
281 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
282 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
283 miniute is regarded as zero.
284 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
285 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
287 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
290 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
291 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
292 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
294 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
296 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
299 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
300 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
301 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
302 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
303 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
304 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
306 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
309 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
310 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
311 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
312 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
313 where the previous position of the last one.
314 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
315 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
316 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
317 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
318 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
319 previous stable position.
320 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60
322 2012-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
325 - Backported a5c94012656902e73e00f46e7a4c7004b24d4578:

332 This issue has been fixed.
334 2012-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
337 - shogi_server/pairing.rb:
338 + There was a bug in the logic avoiding human-human match.
339 This issue has been fixed.
340 + Improved the logic avoiding human-human match. Human-human
341 matches will less likely happen.
343 2012-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
346 - Added shogi_server/compatible.rb, which implements compatible
347 methods and allows Ruby 1.8.7 to run the server.
348 - test/TC_floodgate.rb failed with Ruby 1.8.7. This issue has
350 - test/TC_uchifuzume.rb did not run with Ruby 1.8.7. This issue
352 - test/TC_league.rb failed with Ruby 1.8.7. This issue has been

366 running on. This issues has been fixed.
368 2012-01-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
371 - shogi_server/floodgate.rb: Generating next time around the new
372 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
373 This issue has been fixed.
375 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
378 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
379 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
380 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
381 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.
382 * [mk_rate] [mk_game_results]
383 - Supports Ruby 1.9.3.
385 2011-12-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>

405 2010-10-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
408 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
409 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
411 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
414 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
415 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
416 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
417 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
419 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
422 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
423 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
424 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
425 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
426 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
428 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
429 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
430 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
432 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
435 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
436 The Buoy behavior is changed.
437 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
438 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
440 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
441 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
443 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
446 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
447 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
448 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
450 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
453 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
454 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
455 earlier than system time.
456 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
457 now returns an instance correctly.
458 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
459 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
460 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
461 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
463 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
466 - shogi_server/command.rb:
467 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
468 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
469 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
471 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
472 ShogiServer::Logger class.
473 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
474 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
475 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
477 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
479 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
482 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
483 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
484 This issue has been fixed.
486 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
489 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
490 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
491 instead of deep_copy().
493 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
496 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
498 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
499 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
500 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
503 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
506 - A new command line option:
507 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
508 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
511 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
512 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
513 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
515 - Floodgate time configuration file:
516 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
517 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
518 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
519 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
522 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
523 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
524 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
525 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
526 default time settings.

546 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
547 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
549 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
552 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
553 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
555 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
558 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
559 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
560 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
561 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
562 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
564 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
567 - shogi_server/player.rb:
568 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
571 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
574 - shogi_server/command.rb:
575 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
576 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
577 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
579 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
582 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
583 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
584 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
585 impatiently sending a move twice.

590 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
591 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
592 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
595 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
598 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
599 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
600 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
601 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
602 "*" is not available.
612 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
615 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
616 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
617 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
618 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
619 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
620 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
621 appended to the record file.
622 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
623 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
625 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
627 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
629 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
632 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
633 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
635 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
638 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
639 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
640 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
641 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
644 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
647 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
649 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
650 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
651 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
652 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
653 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
654 previous class: StartGame.
655 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
656 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
658 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
661 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
663 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
666 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
667 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
668 ignored for the calculation.
670 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
673 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
674 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
675 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
676 Instruction to use the game result list file:
677 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
679 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
680 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
681 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
682 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
684 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
686 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
689 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
690 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
691 requires two steps as follows:
692 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
693 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
695 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
698 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
701 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
702 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
703 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
704 players can play a new game with the game name.
706 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
708 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
709 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
710 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
712 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
713 specific position that you want to start with.
714 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
715 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
716 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
717 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
718 game is removed automatically by the server.
720 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
721 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
722 allowed to delete it.
723 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
724 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
725 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
726 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
730 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
733 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
735 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
738 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
739 issue has been fixed.
742 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
745 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
746 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
747 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
750 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
753 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
754 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
755 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
756 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
759 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
762 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
763 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
766 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
768 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
769 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
772 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
775 - Improved performance.
777 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
780 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
781 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
782 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
784 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
786 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
787 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
789 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
792 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
793 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
794 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
795 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
797 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
800 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
801 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
803 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
806 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
807 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
809 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
810 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
811 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
812 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
813 time out. (Closes: #14469)
815 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
818 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
819 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
820 wdoor should be written by using this option.
822 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
825 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
828 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
829 incomplete records are skipped.
830 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
831 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
832 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
833 names in command line arguments.
835 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
838 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
841 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
842 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
844 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
847 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
850 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
852 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
855 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
856 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
857 records are taken care of when games are matched.
859 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
861 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
862 - Display time control graphs as well.
863 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
866 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
869 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
870 - Daemon mode is available.
871 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
872 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
873 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
875 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
878 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
879 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
881 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
884 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
885 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
886 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
887 of the game. (Closes #12821)
888 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
889 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
890 it might have prevented other players from processing until
891 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
893 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
896 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
897 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
900 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
903 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
905 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
908 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
909 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
911 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
914 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
915 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
916 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
917 sending a HUP signal to the server.
918 - The server log will be rotated daily.
920 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
923 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
924 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
925 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
926 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
927 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
929 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
932 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
934 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
937 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
938 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
940 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
941 method error in Pairing.
943 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
946 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
947 This bug has been fixed.
948 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
949 This issue has been fixed.
951 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
954 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
955 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
956 This change will help users browse a file list.
958 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
961 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
964 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
967 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
968 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
971 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
974 - The half-life period is now configurable.
975 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
977 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
980 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
982 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
985 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
986 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
988 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
991 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
994 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
997 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
998 issue has been fixed.
999 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
1000 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
1001 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
1002 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
1005 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1008 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
1009 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
1010 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
1011 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
1013 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1015 * [util/players-graph.rb]
1016 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
1018 - Small PNG gets smaller.
1020 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1023 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
1024 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
1026 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1029 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
1030 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
1031 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
1033 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1036 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
1037 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
1038 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
1041 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1043 * [util/players-graph.rb]
1044 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
1046 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1049 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
1050 server. This issue has been fixed.
1052 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1055 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
1056 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
1057 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
1058 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
1061 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1064 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
1065 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
1066 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
1068 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
1069 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
1070 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
1072 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
1073 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
1075 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1078 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
1079 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
1081 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1084 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
1085 recently are not listed.
1087 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
1089 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1091 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
1092 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
1094 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
1096 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1098 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
1099 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
1100 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
1101 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
1102 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
1103 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
1104 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
1105 will be removed when the server shuts down.
1107 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1110 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
1111 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
1112 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
1113 day. This issue has been fixed.
1115 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1118 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
1119 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
1120 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
1122 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1125 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
1126 It may not work with lower verions.
1128 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1131 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
1132 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
1133 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
1135 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1138 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
1139 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
1140 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
1142 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
1143 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
1145 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1148 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
1149 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
1150 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
1151 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
1152 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
1153 - Show revision in a start up message.
1155 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1158 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
1159 send LF, the server sends back LF.
1160 - More care for socket errors.
1162 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1164 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
1165 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
1168 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1170 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
1172 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1175 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
1176 - Daemon mode is available.
1178 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1181 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
1182 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
1183 This issues has been fixed.
1185 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1188 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
1189 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
1191 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
1193 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1195 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
1196 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
1198 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1200 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
1201 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
1202 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
1203 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
1206 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1208 * [mk_rate][mk_html]
1209 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
1210 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
1211 least a game with other players.
1212 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
1213 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
1215 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1217 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
1219 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1221 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
1222 the calculation to complete.
