4 - Ruby 2.0.0 or later is recommended to use with shogi-server
5 since Ruby 1.8 reached its End-of-Life on the end of July, 2014.
7 - Addressed a warning of duplicated range in a regular expression.
9 2014-07-19 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
12 - Added a new option, --abnormal-threshold n:
13 Games that end with the 'abnormal' status are counted in
14 win/lost games for the rating calculation if a game plays more
15 than n plies. Otherwise (or if n is zero), abnormal games are
16 counted out of rating games.
18 2014-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
21 - Released: Revision "20140107"
23 2013-12-29 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
26 - Previously, parameters in Floodgate time configuration file were
27 not applied to actual instances. This issue has been fixed.
29 2013-12-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
32 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Impose penalty on matches between
35 2013-12-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
38 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
39 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
40 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
41 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
42 already in use - bind(2)".
44 - Released: Revision "20131215"
46 2013-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
49 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb:
50 - Added a log message.
52 2013-12-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
55 - shogi-server/shogi_server/pairing.rb:
56 - Modified comment for LeastDiff match.
57 - Changed log messages and levels.
59 2013-12-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
62 - shogi_server/pairing.rb, player.rb:
63 Simplify estimated rate of unrated players (less memory).
64 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
65 Now it supports "set sacrifice <player_id>"; it sets a
66 sacrificed player for a specific Floodgate game.
67 ex. set sacrifice gps500+e293220e3f8a3e59f79f6b0efffaa931
69 2013-12-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
72 - Added a new pairing method, ShogiServer::ExcludeUnratedPlayers,
73 which filters out unrated players.
74 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
75 Now it supports "set pairing_factory <function_name>"; it sets a
76 factory function name generating a pairing method which will be
77 used in a specific Floodgate game.
78 ex. set pairing_factory floodgate_zyunisen
80 2013-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
83 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
84 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
86 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
87 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
88 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
89 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
90 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
91 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
92 already in use - bind(2)".
94 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
95 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
96 - Removed files that are no longer used.
98 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
101 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
102 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
103 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
104 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
106 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
109 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
112 - Flush after each output line.
113 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
115 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
118 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
119 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
120 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
122 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
125 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
126 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
127 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
128 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
129 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
130 miniute is regarded as zero.
131 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
132 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
134 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
137 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
138 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
139 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
141 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
143 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
146 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
147 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
148 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
149 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
150 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
151 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
153 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
156 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
157 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
158 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
159 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
160 where the previous position of the last one.
161 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
162 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
163 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
164 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
165 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
166 previous stable position.
167 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60

179 This issue has been fixed.
181 2012-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
184 - shogi_server/pairing.rb:
185 + There was a bug in the logic avoiding human-human match.
186 This issue has been fixed.
187 + Improved the logic avoiding human-human match. Human-human
188 matches will less likely happen.
190 2012-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
193 - Added shogi_server/compatible.rb, which implements compatible
194 methods and allows Ruby 1.8.7 to run the server.

220 This issue has been fixed.
222 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
225 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
226 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
227 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
228 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.

255 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
256 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
258 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
261 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
262 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
263 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
264 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
266 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
269 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
270 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
271 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
272 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
273 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
275 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
276 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
277 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
279 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
282 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
283 The Buoy behavior is changed.
284 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
285 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
287 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
288 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
290 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
293 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
294 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
295 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
297 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
300 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
301 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
302 earlier than system time.
303 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
304 now returns an instance correctly.
305 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
306 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
307 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
308 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
310 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
313 - shogi_server/command.rb:
314 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
315 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
316 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
318 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
319 ShogiServer::Logger class.
320 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
321 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
322 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
324 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
326 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
329 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
330 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
331 This issue has been fixed.
333 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
336 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
337 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
338 instead of deep_copy().
340 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
343 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
345 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
346 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
347 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
350 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
353 - A new command line option:
354 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
355 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
358 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
359 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
360 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
362 - Floodgate time configuration file:
363 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
364 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
365 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
366 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
369 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
370 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
371 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
372 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
373 default time settings.

393 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
394 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
396 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
399 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
400 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
402 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
405 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
406 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
407 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
408 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
409 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
411 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
414 - shogi_server/player.rb:
415 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
418 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
421 - shogi_server/command.rb:
422 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
423 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
424 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
426 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
429 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
430 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
431 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
432 impatiently sending a move twice.
434 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
437 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
438 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
439 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
442 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
445 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
446 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
447 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
448 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
449 "*" is not available.
459 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
462 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
463 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
464 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
465 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
466 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
467 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
468 appended to the record file.
469 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
470 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
472 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
474 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
476 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
479 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
480 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
482 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
485 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
486 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
487 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
488 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
491 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
494 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
496 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
497 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
498 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
499 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
500 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
501 previous class: StartGame.
502 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
503 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
505 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
508 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
510 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
513 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
514 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
515 ignored for the calculation.
517 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
520 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
521 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
522 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
523 Instruction to use the game result list file:
524 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
526 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
527 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
528 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
529 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
531 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
533 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
536 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
537 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
538 requires two steps as follows:
539 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
540 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
542 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
545 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
548 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
549 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
550 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
551 players can play a new game with the game name.
553 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
555 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
556 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
557 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
559 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
560 specific position that you want to start with.
561 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
562 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
563 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
564 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
565 game is removed automatically by the server.
567 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
568 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
569 allowed to delete it.
570 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
571 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
572 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
573 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
577 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
580 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
582 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
585 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
586 issue has been fixed.
589 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
592 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
593 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
594 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
597 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
600 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
601 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
602 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
603 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
606 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
609 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
610 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
613 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
615 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
616 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
619 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
622 - Improved performance.
624 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
627 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
628 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
629 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
631 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
633 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
634 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
636 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
639 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
640 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
641 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
642 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
644 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
647 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
648 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
650 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
653 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
654 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
656 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
657 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
658 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
659 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
660 time out. (Closes: #14469)
662 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
665 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
666 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
667 wdoor should be written by using this option.
669 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
672 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
675 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
676 incomplete records are skipped.
677 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
678 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
679 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
680 names in command line arguments.
682 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
685 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
688 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
689 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
691 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
694 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
697 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
699 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
702 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
703 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
704 records are taken care of when games are matched.
706 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
708 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
709 - Display time control graphs as well.
710 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
713 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
716 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
717 - Daemon mode is available.
718 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
719 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
720 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
722 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
725 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
726 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
728 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
731 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
732 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
733 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
734 of the game. (Closes #12821)
735 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
736 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
737 it might have prevented other players from processing until
738 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
740 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
743 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
744 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
747 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
750 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
752 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
755 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
756 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
758 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
761 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
762 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
763 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
764 sending a HUP signal to the server.
765 - The server log will be rotated daily.
767 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
770 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
771 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
772 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
773 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
774 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
776 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
779 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
781 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
784 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
785 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
787 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
788 method error in Pairing.
790 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
793 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
794 This bug has been fixed.
795 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
796 This issue has been fixed.
798 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
801 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
802 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
803 This change will help users browse a file list.
805 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
808 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
811 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
814 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
815 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
818 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
821 - The half-life period is now configurable.
822 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
824 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
827 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
829 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
832 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
833 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
835 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
838 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
841 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
844 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
845 issue has been fixed.
846 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
847 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
848 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
849 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
852 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
855 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
856 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
857 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
858 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
860 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
862 * [util/players-graph.rb]
863 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
865 - Small PNG gets smaller.
867 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
870 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
871 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
873 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
876 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
877 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
878 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
880 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
883 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
884 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
885 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
888 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
890 * [util/players-graph.rb]
891 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
893 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
896 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
897 server. This issue has been fixed.
899 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
902 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
903 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
904 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
905 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
908 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
911 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
912 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
913 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
915 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
916 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
917 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
919 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
920 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
922 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
925 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
926 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
928 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
931 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
932 recently are not listed.
934 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
936 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
938 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
939 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
941 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
943 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
945 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
946 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
947 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
948 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
949 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
950 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
951 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
952 will be removed when the server shuts down.
954 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
957 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
958 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
959 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
960 day. This issue has been fixed.
962 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
965 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
966 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
967 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
969 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
972 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
973 It may not work with lower verions.
975 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
978 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
979 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
980 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
982 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
985 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
986 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
987 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
989 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
990 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
992 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
995 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
996 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
997 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
998 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
999 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
1000 - Show revision in a start up message.
1002 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1005 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
1006 send LF, the server sends back LF.
1007 - More care for socket errors.
1009 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1011 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
1012 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
1015 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1017 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
1019 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1022 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
1023 - Daemon mode is available.
1025 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1028 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
1029 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
1030 This issues has been fixed.
1032 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1035 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
1036 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
1038 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
1040 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1042 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
1043 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
1045 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1047 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
1048 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
1049 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
1050 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
1053 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1055 * [mk_rate][mk_html]
1056 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
1057 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
1058 least a game with other players.
1059 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
1060 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
1062 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1064 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
1066 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1068 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
1069 the calculation to complete.
1071 2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1073 * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password.
1075 2006-09-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1077 * [shogi-server] Refactored the login procedures.
1079 2006-09-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1081 * [mk_rate] It failed parse draw games. Now this bug has been fixed.
1082 * [mk_html] Add CSS to look better.
1084 2006-09-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1087 - Remove the trip in a password. Now the password is hashed.
1089 - Support @NORATE syntax in a name, which avoids the player is
1092 2006-09-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1095 - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#.
1097 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1100 - Re-design: trip is now a suffix of the password, not name.
1101 - Simplified the output of %%RATING.
1103 - Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same
1104 before-@-names are mapped to one.
1106 2006-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1108 * [mk_rate] Fix a bug. It solves the correct rate.
1110 2006-08-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1112 * [mk_rate] Re-design.
1113 - Correct the equations.
1114 - Apply deaccelerated Newton method.
1116 2006-08-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1119 - Fix a bug. Now it can see black/white players in a csa file.
1121 - Add a space in the output of %%RATING.
1123 2006-08-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1125 * [mk_rate] Record numbers of win/loss games.
1126 * Add mk_html, which generates html from players.yaml
1127 * Fix test/test_board.rb. Now it works.
1128 * Add test/TC_ALL.rb to run all test cases.
1129 * [shogi-server] Fix a bug. Now it can show %%RATING even if it has no
1132 2006-08-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>

1143 * Fix the max length of the login name with a trip.
1144 * Add a comment line about the rated game status in the CSA file.
1145 * Remove the rating system, which will be calculated by another
1148 2006-08-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1150 * Add a command, %%RATING, to show a ranking sorted by rates.
1152 2006-07-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
