3 * [shogi-server] Write more game results in record files
4 As the CSA Record Format standard states, "%TIME_UP" and
5 "%SENNICHITE" are now recorded in CSA files when a game ends for
6 timed up or sennichite respectively.
9 2017-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
11 * utils/csa-filter.rb: Allow csa-filter.rb to filter games by a winner or loser
12 New command lines, --winner <player> or --loser <player>, are now
13 supported to supply extra filtering conditions. Note that each
14 filter is combined as AND condition.
16 - % ./csa-filter.rb ~/Downloads/20160314 --white gpsfish_xeon --loser gpsfish_xeon
17 - % ./csa-filter.rb ~/Downloads/20160314 --white gpsfish_xeon --winner gpsfish_xeon
20 2016-12-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
22 * Update Revision to 20161211.
25 2016-12-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
27 * Allow util/statistics.rb to set a filtering condition of found files
28 Regarding util/statistics.rb, add a new command line option,
29 --filter regexp, to process files that are matched with a regexp.
30 It would make it easier to calculate statistics of certain games.
33 2016-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
35 * [shogi-server] Allow to customize maximum lenght of a login indentifier
37 - The current maximum length of a login identifier is 32. Some
38 private uses require longer player names to distinguish each other
39 by specifying randomly generated tokens. It would of help to add a
40 new command line option --max-identifier to overwrite the default
42 * Build a Docker image for Shogi-server
44 - Build a Docker image
46 - Running a local shogi-server would look like
47 % docker pull shogiserver/shogiserver
48 % docker run -p 4081:4081 -v `pwd`/logs:/logs shogiserver/shogiserver
49 * [shogi-server] shogi_server/game.rb:
50 - Remove a debug message
52 2016-04-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
55 - Support Fischer time control.
56 * [shogi-server] Bump up the revision to 20160409.
58 2016-04-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
60 * [shogi-server] Support Fischer Time Control
62 - Fischer time control means that:
63 Before a player has made their move, a specified time increment is
64 added to their clock. Time can be accumulated, so if the player
65 moves within the delay period, their remaining time actually
67 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_clock)
68 - New syntax of game names:
69 An 'F' suffix denotes a Fisher time in seconds. For example,
70 "floodgate-600-10F" specifies
72 + Total allotted time is 600 seconds for each player
73 + 10-second increment before a player's move in a Fischer way
74 - The server now proposes game conditions upon a game start with
75 - "Protocol_Version 1.2"
76 - "Increment:<n>" for Fischer Time Control
77 - Kifu files can include the following comment for Fischer Time
80 * [shogi-server] Fix some lint warnings.
82 2015-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
84 * [shogi-server] Enhance capability of Floodgate configuration file
85 - New parameter: Max_Moves, defined in the CSA protocol
87 - New parameter: Least_Time_Per_Move, defined in the CSA protocol
88 ex. set Least_Time_Per_Move 0
89 - Proposed messages distributed to each player upon starting a new
90 game will include Max_Moves as well as Least_Time_Per_Move.
91 - CSA files produced by the server will include settings of
92 Max_Moves and Least_Time_Per_Move in comment lines as follows:
94 'Least_Time_Per_Move:0
95 - The official Shogi-server on wdoor.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp will
96 be running with different parameters, depending on game names.
97 a) Max_Moves will be 256 for floodgate-600-10 games;
99 b) Least_Time_Per_Move will be 0 for floodgate-600-10 games;
102 * [shogi-server] shogi_server/pairing.rb:
103 - LeastDiff attempts more trials, depending of a number of players
104 to be matched, top achieve more optimized matching combinations.
106 2015-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
108 * [shogi-server] shogi_server/time_clock.rb:
109 - A time consumed could be -1.
110 * The start time of a move is captured after sending a move to a
111 player of the next turn at the end of the giant lock
112 * The end time of the move is captured at the exact time when the
113 server receives it before the giant lock
114 Therefore, end_time < start_time is possible when a player returns a
116 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for reporting this issue.
119 2015-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
121 * util/statistics.rb:
122 - Updated to investigate floodgate-600-10 games.
123 Consult the result at
124 http://www.sgtpepper.net/hyspro/diary/20150214.html.
125 - Added a companion R script: histogram.R
127 2015-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
130 - shogi_server/login.rb: When players are logged in, log their
131 player_id if they have it.
133 2015-01-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
136 - Getting an absolute path of this file was wrong if it was a
137 symbolic link. This issue has been addressed.
139 - Links to details pages for players now use a relative path so
140 that it works on a testing site.
142 2015-01-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
145 - shogi-server, shogi_server/{command,game_result,player}.rb:
146 The change at 2014-10-13 was not worked as expected. Reworked.
147 A player, attempting to login with the current live player
148 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
151 2015-01-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
154 - shogi_server.rb: Follow an API change in a upstream class:
155 LogDevice.previous_period_end
157 2014-12-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
160 - When a non-rated player participates in Floodgate, the following exception
161 was thrown and a Floodgate game would not start:
162 undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
163 ["/home/shogi-server/www/x/shogi_server/pairing.rb:499:in `block
164 in calculate_diff_with_penalty'"
165 This issue has been resolved. Only players who have player ID
166 (i.e. those who log in with valid password) are now allowed to
167 participate in Floodgate as the spec web page
168 [http://shogi-server.sourceforge.jp/rating.html] describes.
170 2014-12-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
173 - Addressed Ruby incompatibility on ShogiServer::Usi::alphabetToDan.
174 It (and usiToCsa.rb) did not work with Ruby 1.9.3. This issue
176 Thanks to Hiraoka-san for debugging.
178 2014-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
180 * utils/eval_graph.rb:
181 - Gnuplot 4.6.6 drew evaluation-value lines with a dashed style.
182 This issue has now been addressed so that solid lines are used.
184 2014-11-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
189 2014-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
192 - Ruby 2.0.0 or later is recommended to use with shogi-server
193 since Ruby 1.8 reached its End-of-Life on the end of July, 2014.
195 - Addressed a warning of duplicated range in a regular expression.
197 2014-10-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
200 - A player, attempting to login with the current live player
201 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
203 - Kifu record files now includes rating scores of players at the
204 time when games start. Previously, for rating games, a record
205 file includes player IDs of both players with a line starting with
206 "'rating". Now it also shows rating scores for players who have
207 valid scores. The formats for black and white players are as
209 'black_rate:<player_id>:<score>
210 'white_rate:<player_id>:<score>
212 'rating:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790
213 'black_rate:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2763.0
214 'white_rate:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2345.0
216 2014-10-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
219 - New feature: max moves
220 - New command line option: --max-moves n
221 When a game with the n-th move played does not end, make the
222 game a draw (default 256 in compliance with CSA Protocol V1.2
223 or later). Setting 0 disables this feature for
224 CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
225 - Players will receive a new message, "#MAX_MOVES", upon an end
229 - A new log summary type, "max_moves", has been assigned for games
230 drawing with max moves.
231 'summary:max_moves:name_sente draw:name_gote draw
232 - Least time per move:
233 - New command line option: --least-time-per-move n
234 This option specifies a least time in second per move, which
235 is 0 second by default, meaning that a decimal
236 fraction of time for a move will be truncated in compliance
237 with CSA Protocol V1.2 or later.
238 Set 1 for CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
240 2014-07-19 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
243 - Added a new option, --abnormal-threshold n:
244 Games that end with the 'abnormal' status are counted in
245 win/lost games for the rating calculation if a game plays more
246 than n plies. Otherwise (or if n is zero), abnormal games are
247 counted out of rating games.
249 2014-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
252 - Released: Revision "20140107"
254 2013-12-29 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
257 - Previously, parameters in Floodgate time configuration file were
258 not applied to actual instances. This issue has been fixed.
260 2013-12-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
263 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Impose penalty on matches between
266 2013-12-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
269 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
270 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
271 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
272 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
273 already in use - bind(2)".
275 - Released: Revision "20131215"
277 2013-12-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
280 - Added a new program, bin/usiToCsa.rb, which is a bridge for a
281 USI engine to connect to the Shogi-server.
282 - bin/usiToCsa is a sample wrapper script.
284 2013-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
287 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb:
288 - Added a log message.
290 2013-12-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
293 - shogi-server/shogi_server/pairing.rb:
294 - Modified comment for LeastDiff match.
295 - Changed log messages and levels.
297 2013-12-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
300 - shogi_server/pairing.rb, player.rb:
301 Simplify estimated rate of unrated players (less memory).
302 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
303 Now it supports "set sacrifice <player_id>"; it sets a
304 sacrificed player for a specific Floodgate game.
305 ex. set sacrifice gps500+e293220e3f8a3e59f79f6b0efffaa931
307 2013-12-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
310 - Added a new pairing method, ShogiServer::ExcludeUnratedPlayers,
311 which filters out unrated players.
312 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
313 Now it supports "set pairing_factory <function_name>"; it sets a
314 factory function name generating a pairing method which will be
315 used in a specific Floodgate game.
316 ex. set pairing_factory floodgate_zyunisen
317 - Implemented conversion of move representation between CSA format
320 2013-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
323 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
324 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
326 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
327 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
328 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
329 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
330 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
331 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
332 already in use - bind(2)".
334 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
335 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
336 - Removed files that are no longer used.
338 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
341 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
342 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
343 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
344 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
346 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
349 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
352 - Flush after each output line.
353 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
355 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
358 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
359 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
360 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
362 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
365 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
366 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
367 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
368 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
369 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
370 miniute is regarded as zero.
371 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
372 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
374 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
377 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
378 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
379 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
381 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
383 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
386 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
387 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
388 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
389 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
390 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
391 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
393 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
396 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
397 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
398 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
399 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
400 where the previous position of the last one.
401 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
402 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
403 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
404 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
405 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
406 previous stable position.
407 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60

460 This issue has been fixed.
462 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
465 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
466 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
467 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
468 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.

495 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
496 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
498 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
501 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
502 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
503 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
504 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
506 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
509 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
510 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
511 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
512 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
513 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
515 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
516 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
517 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
519 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
522 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
523 The Buoy behavior is changed.
524 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
525 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
527 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
528 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
530 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
533 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
534 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
535 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
537 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
540 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
541 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
542 earlier than system time.
543 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
544 now returns an instance correctly.
545 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
546 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
547 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
548 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
550 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
553 - shogi_server/command.rb:
554 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
555 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
556 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
558 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
559 ShogiServer::Logger class.
560 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
561 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
562 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
564 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
566 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
569 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
570 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
571 This issue has been fixed.

576 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
577 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
578 instead of deep_copy().
580 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
583 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
585 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
586 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
587 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
590 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
593 - A new command line option:
594 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
595 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
598 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
599 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
600 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
602 - Floodgate time configuration file:
603 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
604 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
605 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
606 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
609 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
610 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
611 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
612 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
613 default time settings.

633 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
634 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
636 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
639 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
640 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
642 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
645 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
646 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
647 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
648 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
649 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
651 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
654 - shogi_server/player.rb:
655 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
658 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
661 - shogi_server/command.rb:
662 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
663 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
664 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
666 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
669 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
670 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
671 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
672 impatiently sending a move twice.
674 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
677 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
678 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
679 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
682 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
685 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
686 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
687 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
688 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
689 "*" is not available.
699 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
702 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
703 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
704 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
705 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
706 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
707 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
708 appended to the record file.
709 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
710 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
712 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
714 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
716 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
719 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
720 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
722 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
725 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
726 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
727 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
728 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
731 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
734 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
736 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
737 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
738 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
739 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
740 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
741 previous class: StartGame.
742 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
743 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
745 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
748 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
750 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
753 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
754 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
755 ignored for the calculation.
757 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
760 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
761 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
762 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
763 Instruction to use the game result list file:
764 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
766 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
767 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
768 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
769 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
771 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
773 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
776 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
777 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
778 requires two steps as follows:
779 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
780 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
782 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
785 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
788 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
789 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
790 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
791 players can play a new game with the game name.
793 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
795 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
796 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
797 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
799 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
800 specific position that you want to start with.
801 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
802 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
803 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
804 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
805 game is removed automatically by the server.
807 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
808 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
809 allowed to delete it.
810 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
811 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
812 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
813 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
817 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
820 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
822 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
825 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
826 issue has been fixed.
829 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
832 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
833 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
834 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
837 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
840 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
841 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
842 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
843 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
846 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
849 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
850 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
853 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
855 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
856 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
859 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
862 - Improved performance.
864 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
867 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
868 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
869 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
871 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
873 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
874 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
876 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
879 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
880 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
881 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
882 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
884 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
887 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
888 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
890 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
893 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
894 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
896 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
897 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
898 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
899 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
900 time out. (Closes: #14469)
902 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
905 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
906 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
907 wdoor should be written by using this option.
909 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
912 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
915 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
916 incomplete records are skipped.
917 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
918 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
919 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
920 names in command line arguments.
922 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
925 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
928 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
929 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
931 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
934 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
937 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
939 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
942 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
943 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
944 records are taken care of when games are matched.
946 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
948 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
949 - Display time control graphs as well.
950 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
953 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
956 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
957 - Daemon mode is available.
958 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
959 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
960 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
962 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
965 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
966 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
968 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
971 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
972 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
973 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
974 of the game. (Closes #12821)
975 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
976 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
977 it might have prevented other players from processing until
978 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
980 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
983 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
984 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
987 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
990 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
992 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
995 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
996 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
998 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1001 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
1002 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
1003 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
1004 sending a HUP signal to the server.
1005 - The server log will be rotated daily.
1007 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1010 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
1011 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
1012 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
1013 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
1014 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
1016 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1019 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
1021 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1024 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
1025 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
1027 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
1028 method error in Pairing.
1030 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1033 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
1034 This bug has been fixed.
1035 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
1036 This issue has been fixed.
1038 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1041 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
1042 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
1043 This change will help users browse a file list.
1045 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1048 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
1051 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1054 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
1055 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
1058 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1061 - The half-life period is now configurable.
1062 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
1064 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1067 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
1069 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1072 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
1073 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
1075 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1078 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
1081 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1084 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
1085 issue has been fixed.
1086 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
1087 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
1088 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
1089 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
1092 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1095 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
1096 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
1097 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
1098 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
1100 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1102 * [util/players-graph.rb]
1103 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
1105 - Small PNG gets smaller.
1107 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1110 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
1111 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
1113 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1116 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
1117 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
1118 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
1120 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1123 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
1124 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
1125 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
1128 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1130 * [util/players-graph.rb]
1131 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
1133 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1136 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
1137 server. This issue has been fixed.
1139 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1142 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
1143 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
1144 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
1145 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
1148 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1151 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
1152 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
1153 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
1155 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
1156 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
1157 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
1159 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
1160 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
1162 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1165 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
1166 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
1168 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1171 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
1172 recently are not listed.
1174 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
1176 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1178 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
1179 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
1181 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
1183 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1185 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
1186 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
1187 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
1188 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
1189 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
1190 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
1191 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
1192 will be removed when the server shuts down.
1194 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1197 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
1198 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
1199 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
1200 day. This issue has been fixed.
1202 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1205 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
1206 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
1207 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
1209 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1212 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
1213 It may not work with lower verions.
1215 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1218 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
1219 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
1220 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.

1225 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
1226 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
1227 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
1229 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
1230 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).

1236 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
1237 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
1238 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
1239 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
1240 - Show revision in a start up message.
