4 - shogi-server, shogi_server/{command,game_result,player}.rb:
5 The change at 2014-10-13 was not worked as expected. Reworked.
6 A player, attempting to login with the current live player
7 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
10 2015-01-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
13 - shogi_server.rb: Follow an API change in a upstream class:
14 LogDevice.previous_period_end
16 2014-12-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
19 - When a non-rated player participates in Floodgate, the following exception
20 was thrown and a Floodgate game would not start:
21 undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
22 ["/home/shogi-server/www/x/shogi_server/pairing.rb:499:in `block
23 in calculate_diff_with_penalty'"
24 This issue has been resolved. Only players who have player ID
25 (i.e. those who log in with valid password) are now allowed to
26 participate in Floodgate as the spec web page
27 [http://shogi-server.sourceforge.jp/rating.html] describes.
29 2014-12-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
32 - Addressed Ruby incompatibility on ShogiServer::Usi::alphabetToDan.
33 It (and usiToCsa.rb) did not work with Ruby 1.9.3. This issue
35 Thanks to Hiraoka-san for debugging.
37 2014-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
39 * utils/eval_graph.rb:
40 - Gnuplot 4.6.6 drew evaluation-value lines with a dashed style.
41 This issue has now been addressed so that solid lines are used.
43 2014-11-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
48 2014-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
51 - Ruby 2.0.0 or later is recommended to use with shogi-server
52 since Ruby 1.8 reached its End-of-Life on the end of July, 2014.
54 - Addressed a warning of duplicated range in a regular expression.
56 2014-10-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
59 - A player, attempting to login with the current live player
60 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
62 - Kifu record files now includes rating scores of players at the
63 time when games start. Previously, for rating games, a record
64 file includes player IDs of both players with a line starting with
65 "'rating". Now it also shows rating scores for players who have
66 valid scores. The formats for black and white players are as
68 'black_rate:<player_id>:<score>
69 'white_rate:<player_id>:<score>
71 'rating:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790
72 'black_rate:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2763.0
73 'white_rate:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2345.0
75 2014-10-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
78 - New feature: max moves
79 - New command line option: --max-moves n
80 When a game with the n-th move played does not end, make the
81 game a draw (default 256 in compliance with CSA Protocol V1.2
82 or later). Setting 0 disables this feature for
83 CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
84 - Players will receive a new message, "#MAX_MOVES", upon an end
88 - A new log summary type, "max_moves", has been assigned for games
89 drawing with max moves.
90 'summary:max_moves:name_sente draw:name_gote draw
91 - Least time per move:
92 - New command line option: --least-time-per-move n
93 This option specifies a least time in second per move, which
94 is 0 second by default, meaning that a decimal
95 fraction of time for a move will be truncated in compliance
96 with CSA Protocol V1.2 or later.
97 Set 1 for CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
99 2014-07-19 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
102 - Added a new option, --abnormal-threshold n:
103 Games that end with the 'abnormal' status are counted in
104 win/lost games for the rating calculation if a game plays more
105 than n plies. Otherwise (or if n is zero), abnormal games are
106 counted out of rating games.
108 2014-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
111 - Released: Revision "20140107"
113 2013-12-29 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
116 - Previously, parameters in Floodgate time configuration file were
117 not applied to actual instances. This issue has been fixed.
119 2013-12-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
122 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Impose penalty on matches between
125 2013-12-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
128 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
129 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
130 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
131 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
132 already in use - bind(2)".
134 - Released: Revision "20131215"
136 2013-12-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
139 - Added a new program, bin/usiToCsa.rb, which is a bridge for a
140 USI engine to connect to the Shogi-server.
141 - bin/usiToCsa is a sample wrapper script.
143 2013-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
146 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb:
147 - Added a log message.
149 2013-12-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
152 - shogi-server/shogi_server/pairing.rb:
153 - Modified comment for LeastDiff match.
154 - Changed log messages and levels.
156 2013-12-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
159 - shogi_server/pairing.rb, player.rb:
160 Simplify estimated rate of unrated players (less memory).
161 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
162 Now it supports "set sacrifice <player_id>"; it sets a
163 sacrificed player for a specific Floodgate game.
164 ex. set sacrifice gps500+e293220e3f8a3e59f79f6b0efffaa931
166 2013-12-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
169 - Added a new pairing method, ShogiServer::ExcludeUnratedPlayers,
170 which filters out unrated players.
171 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
172 Now it supports "set pairing_factory <function_name>"; it sets a
173 factory function name generating a pairing method which will be
174 used in a specific Floodgate game.
175 ex. set pairing_factory floodgate_zyunisen
176 - Implemented conversion of move representation between CSA format
179 2013-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
182 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
183 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
185 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
186 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
187 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
188 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
189 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
190 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
191 already in use - bind(2)".
193 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
194 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
195 - Removed files that are no longer used.
197 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
200 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
201 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
202 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
203 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
205 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
208 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
211 - Flush after each output line.
212 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
214 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
217 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
218 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
219 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
221 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
224 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
225 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
226 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
227 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
228 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
229 miniute is regarded as zero.
230 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
231 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
233 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
236 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
237 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
238 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
240 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
242 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
245 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
246 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
247 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
248 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
249 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
250 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
252 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
255 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
256 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
257 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
258 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
259 where the previous position of the last one.
260 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
261 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
262 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
263 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
264 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
265 previous stable position.
266 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60
268 2012-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
271 - Backported a5c94012656902e73e00f46e7a4c7004b24d4578:

283 - shogi_server/pairing.rb:
284 + There was a bug in the logic avoiding human-human match.
285 This issue has been fixed.
286 + Improved the logic avoiding human-human match. Human-human
287 matches will less likely happen.
289 2012-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
292 - Added shogi_server/compatible.rb, which implements compatible
293 methods and allows Ruby 1.8.7 to run the server.

319 This issue has been fixed.
321 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
324 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
325 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
326 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
327 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.
328 * [mk_rate] [mk_game_results]

354 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
355 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
357 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
360 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
361 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
362 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
363 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
365 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
368 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
369 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
370 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
371 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
372 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
374 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
375 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
376 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
378 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
381 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
382 The Buoy behavior is changed.
383 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
384 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
386 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
387 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
389 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
392 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
393 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
394 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
396 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
399 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
400 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
401 earlier than system time.
402 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
403 now returns an instance correctly.
404 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
405 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
406 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
407 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
409 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
412 - shogi_server/command.rb:
413 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
414 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
415 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
417 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
418 ShogiServer::Logger class.
419 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
420 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
421 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
423 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
425 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
428 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
429 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
430 This issue has been fixed.
432 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
435 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
436 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
437 instead of deep_copy().
439 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
442 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
444 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
445 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
446 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
449 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
452 - A new command line option:
453 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
454 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
457 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
458 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
459 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
461 - Floodgate time configuration file:
462 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
463 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
464 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
465 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
468 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
469 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
470 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
471 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
472 default time settings.

492 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
493 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
495 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
498 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
499 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
501 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
504 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
505 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
506 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
507 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
508 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
510 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
513 - shogi_server/player.rb:
514 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
517 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
520 - shogi_server/command.rb:
521 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
522 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
523 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
525 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
528 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
529 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
530 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
531 impatiently sending a move twice.
533 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
536 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
537 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
538 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
541 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
544 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
545 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
546 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
547 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
548 "*" is not available.
558 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
561 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
562 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
563 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
564 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
565 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
566 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
567 appended to the record file.
568 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
569 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
571 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
573 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
575 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
578 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
579 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
581 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
584 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
585 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
586 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
587 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
590 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
593 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
595 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
596 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
597 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
598 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
599 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
600 previous class: StartGame.
601 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
602 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
604 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
607 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
609 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
612 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
613 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
614 ignored for the calculation.
616 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
619 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
620 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
621 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
622 Instruction to use the game result list file:
623 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
625 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
626 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
627 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
628 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
630 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
632 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
635 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
636 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
637 requires two steps as follows:
638 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
639 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
641 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
644 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
647 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
648 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
649 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
650 players can play a new game with the game name.
652 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
654 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
655 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
656 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
658 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
659 specific position that you want to start with.
660 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
661 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
662 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
663 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
664 game is removed automatically by the server.
666 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
667 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
668 allowed to delete it.
669 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
670 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
671 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
672 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
676 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
679 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
681 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
684 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
685 issue has been fixed.
688 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
691 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
692 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
693 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
696 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
699 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
700 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
701 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
702 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
705 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
708 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
709 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
712 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
714 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
715 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
718 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
721 - Improved performance.
723 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
726 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
727 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
728 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
730 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
732 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
733 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
735 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
738 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
739 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
740 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
741 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
743 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
746 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
747 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
749 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
752 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
753 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
755 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
756 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
757 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
758 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
759 time out. (Closes: #14469)
761 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
764 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
765 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
766 wdoor should be written by using this option.
768 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
771 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
774 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
775 incomplete records are skipped.
776 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
777 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
778 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
779 names in command line arguments.
781 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
784 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
787 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
788 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
790 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
793 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
796 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
798 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
801 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
802 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
803 records are taken care of when games are matched.
805 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
807 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
808 - Display time control graphs as well.
809 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
812 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
815 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
816 - Daemon mode is available.
817 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
818 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
819 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
821 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
824 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
825 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
827 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
830 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
831 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
832 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
833 of the game. (Closes #12821)
834 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
835 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
836 it might have prevented other players from processing until
837 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
839 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
842 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
843 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
846 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
849 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
851 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
854 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
855 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
857 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
860 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
861 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
862 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
863 sending a HUP signal to the server.
864 - The server log will be rotated daily.
866 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
869 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
870 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
871 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
872 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
873 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
875 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
878 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
880 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
883 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
884 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
886 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
887 method error in Pairing.
889 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
892 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
893 This bug has been fixed.
894 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
895 This issue has been fixed.
897 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
900 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
901 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
902 This change will help users browse a file list.
904 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
907 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
910 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
913 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
914 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
917 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
920 - The half-life period is now configurable.
921 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
923 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
926 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
928 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
931 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
932 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
934 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
937 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
940 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
943 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
944 issue has been fixed.
945 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
946 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
947 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
948 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
951 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
954 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
955 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
956 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
957 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
959 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
961 * [util/players-graph.rb]
962 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
964 - Small PNG gets smaller.
966 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
969 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
970 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
972 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
975 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
976 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
977 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
979 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
982 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
983 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
984 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
987 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
989 * [util/players-graph.rb]
990 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
992 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
995 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
996 server. This issue has been fixed.
998 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1001 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
1002 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
1003 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
1004 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
1007 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1010 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
1011 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
1012 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
1014 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
1015 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
1016 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
1018 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
1019 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
1021 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1024 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
1025 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
1027 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1030 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
1031 recently are not listed.
1033 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
1035 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1037 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
1038 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
1040 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
1042 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1044 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
1045 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
1046 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
1047 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
1048 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
1049 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
1050 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
1051 will be removed when the server shuts down.
1053 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1056 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
1057 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
1058 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
1059 day. This issue has been fixed.
1061 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1064 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
1065 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
1066 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
1068 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1071 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
1072 It may not work with lower verions.
1074 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1077 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
1078 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
1079 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
1081 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1084 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
1085 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
1086 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
1088 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
1089 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
1091 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1094 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
1095 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
1096 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
1097 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
1098 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
1099 - Show revision in a start up message.
1101 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1104 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
1105 send LF, the server sends back LF.
1106 - More care for socket errors.
1108 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1110 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
1111 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
1114 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1116 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
1118 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1121 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
1122 - Daemon mode is available.
1124 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1127 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
1128 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
1129 This issues has been fixed.
1131 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1134 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
1135 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
1137 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
1139 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1141 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
1142 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
1144 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1146 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
1147 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
1148 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
1149 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
1152 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1154 * [mk_rate][mk_html]
1155 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
1156 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
1157 least a game with other players.
1158 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
1159 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
1161 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1163 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
1165 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1167 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
1168 the calculation to complete.
1170 2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1172 * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password.
1174 2006-09-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1176 * [shogi-server] Refactored the login procedures.
1178 2006-09-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1180 * [mk_rate] It failed parse draw games. Now this bug has been fixed.
1181 * [mk_html] Add CSS to look better.
1183 2006-09-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1186 - Remove the trip in a password. Now the password is hashed.
1188 - Support @NORATE syntax in a name, which avoids the player is
1191 2006-09-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1194 - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#.
1196 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1199 - Re-design: trip is now a suffix of the password, not name.
1200 - Simplified the output of %%RATING.
1202 - Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same
1203 before-@-names are mapped to one.
1205 2006-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1207 * [mk_rate] Fix a bug. It solves the correct rate.
1209 2006-08-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1211 * [mk_rate] Re-design.
1212 - Correct the equations.
1213 - Apply deaccelerated Newton method.
1215 2006-08-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1218 - Fix a bug. Now it can see black/white players in a csa file.
1220 - Add a space in the output of %%RATING.
1222 2006-08-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1224 * [mk_rate] Record numbers of win/loss games.
1225 * Add mk_html, which generates html from players.yaml
1226 * Fix test/test_board.rb. Now it works.
1227 * Add test/TC_ALL.rb to run all test cases.
1228 * [shogi-server] Fix a bug. Now it can show %%RATING even if it has no
1231 2006-08-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1233 * Add mk_rate, which calculate rating scores.
