1 2013-12-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
4 - Added a new program, bin/usiToCsa.rb, which is a bridge for a
5 USI engine to connect to the Shogi-server.
6 - bin/usiToCsa is a sample wrapper script.
8 2013-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
11 - Implemented conversion of move representation between CSA format
14 2013-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
17 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
18 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
20 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
21 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
22 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
23 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
24 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
25 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
26 already in use - bind(2)".
28 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
29 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
30 - Removed files that are no longer used.
32 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
35 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
36 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
37 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
38 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
40 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
43 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
46 - Flush after each output line.
47 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
49 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
52 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
53 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
54 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
56 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
59 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
60 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
61 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
62 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
63 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
64 miniute is regarded as zero.
65 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
66 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
68 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
71 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
72 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
73 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
75 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
77 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
80 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
81 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
82 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
83 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
84 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
85 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
87 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
90 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
91 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
92 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
93 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
94 where the previous position of the last one.
95 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
96 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
97 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
98 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
99 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
100 previous stable position.
101 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60

154 This issue has been fixed.
156 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
159 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
160 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
161 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
162 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.

186 2010-10-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
189 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
190 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
192 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
195 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
196 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
197 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
198 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
200 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
203 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
204 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
205 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
206 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
207 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
209 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
210 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
211 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
213 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
216 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
217 The Buoy behavior is changed.
218 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
219 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
221 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
222 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
224 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
227 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
228 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
229 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
231 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
234 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
235 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
236 earlier than system time.
237 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
238 now returns an instance correctly.
239 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
240 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
241 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
242 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
244 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
247 - shogi_server/command.rb:
248 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
249 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
250 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
252 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
253 ShogiServer::Logger class.
254 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
255 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
256 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
258 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
260 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
263 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
264 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
265 This issue has been fixed.
267 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
270 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
271 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
272 instead of deep_copy().
274 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
277 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
279 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
280 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
281 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
284 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
287 - A new command line option:
288 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
289 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
292 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
293 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
294 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
296 - Floodgate time configuration file:
297 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
298 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
299 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
300 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
303 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
304 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
305 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
306 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
307 default time settings.

327 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
328 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
330 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
333 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
334 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
336 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
339 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
340 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
341 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
342 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
343 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
345 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
348 - shogi_server/player.rb:
349 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
352 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
355 - shogi_server/command.rb:
356 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
357 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
358 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
360 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
363 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
364 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
365 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
366 impatiently sending a move twice.
368 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
371 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
372 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
373 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
376 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
379 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
380 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
381 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
382 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
383 "*" is not available.
393 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
396 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
397 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
398 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
399 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
400 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
401 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
402 appended to the record file.
403 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
404 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
406 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
408 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
410 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
413 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
414 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
416 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
419 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
420 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
421 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
422 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
425 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
428 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
430 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
431 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
432 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
433 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
434 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
435 previous class: StartGame.
436 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
437 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
439 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
442 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
444 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
447 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
448 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
449 ignored for the calculation.
451 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
454 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
455 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
456 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
457 Instruction to use the game result list file:
458 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
460 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
461 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
462 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
463 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
465 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
467 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
470 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
471 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
472 requires two steps as follows:
473 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
474 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
476 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
479 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
482 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
483 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
484 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
485 players can play a new game with the game name.
487 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
489 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
490 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
491 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
493 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
494 specific position that you want to start with.
495 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
496 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
497 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
498 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
499 game is removed automatically by the server.
501 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
502 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
503 allowed to delete it.
504 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
505 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
506 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
507 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
511 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
514 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
516 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
519 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
520 issue has been fixed.
523 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
526 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
527 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
528 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
531 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
534 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
535 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
536 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
537 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
540 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
543 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
544 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
547 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
549 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
550 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
553 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
556 - Improved performance.
558 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
561 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
562 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
563 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
565 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
567 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
568 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
570 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
573 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
574 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
575 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
576 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
578 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
581 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
582 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
584 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
587 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
588 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
590 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
591 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
592 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
593 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
594 time out. (Closes: #14469)
596 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
599 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
600 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
601 wdoor should be written by using this option.
603 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
606 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
609 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
610 incomplete records are skipped.
611 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
612 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
613 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
614 names in command line arguments.
616 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
619 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
622 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
623 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
625 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
628 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
631 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
633 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
636 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
637 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
638 records are taken care of when games are matched.
640 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
642 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
643 - Display time control graphs as well.
644 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
647 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
650 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
651 - Daemon mode is available.
652 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
653 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
654 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
656 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
659 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
660 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
662 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
665 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
666 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
667 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
668 of the game. (Closes #12821)
669 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
670 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
671 it might have prevented other players from processing until
672 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
674 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
677 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
678 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
681 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
684 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
686 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
689 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
690 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
692 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
695 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
696 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
697 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
698 sending a HUP signal to the server.
699 - The server log will be rotated daily.
701 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
704 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
705 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
706 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
707 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
708 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
710 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
713 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
715 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
718 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
719 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
721 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
722 method error in Pairing.
724 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
727 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
728 This bug has been fixed.
729 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
730 This issue has been fixed.
732 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
735 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
736 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
737 This change will help users browse a file list.
739 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
742 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
745 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
748 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
749 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
752 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
755 - The half-life period is now configurable.
756 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
758 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
761 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
763 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
766 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
767 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
769 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
772 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
775 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
778 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
779 issue has been fixed.
780 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
781 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
782 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
783 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
786 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
789 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
790 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
791 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
792 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
794 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
796 * [util/players-graph.rb]
797 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
799 - Small PNG gets smaller.
801 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
804 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
805 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
807 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
810 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
811 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
812 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
814 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
817 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
818 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
819 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
822 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
824 * [util/players-graph.rb]
825 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
827 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
830 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
831 server. This issue has been fixed.
833 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
836 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
837 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
838 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
839 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
842 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
845 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
846 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
847 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
849 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
850 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
851 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
853 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
854 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
856 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
859 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
860 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
862 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
865 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
866 recently are not listed.
868 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
870 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
872 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
873 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
875 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
877 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
879 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
880 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
881 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
882 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
883 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
884 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
885 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
886 will be removed when the server shuts down.
888 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
891 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
892 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
893 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
894 day. This issue has been fixed.
896 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
899 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
900 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
901 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
903 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
906 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
907 It may not work with lower verions.
909 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
912 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
913 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
914 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
916 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
919 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
920 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
921 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
923 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
924 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
926 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
929 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
930 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
931 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
932 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
933 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
934 - Show revision in a start up message.
936 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
939 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
940 send LF, the server sends back LF.
941 - More care for socket errors.
943 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
945 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
946 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
949 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
951 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
953 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
956 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
957 - Daemon mode is available.
959 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
962 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
963 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
964 This issues has been fixed.
966 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
969 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
970 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
972 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
974 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
976 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
977 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
979 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
981 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
982 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
983 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
984 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
987 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
990 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
991 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
992 least a game with other players.
993 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
994 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
996 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
998 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
1000 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1002 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
1003 the calculation to complete.
1005 2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1007 * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password.
1009 2006-09-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1011 * [shogi-server] Refactored the login procedures.
1013 2006-09-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1015 * [mk_rate] It failed parse draw games. Now this bug has been fixed.
1016 * [mk_html] Add CSS to look better.
1018 2006-09-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1021 - Remove the trip in a password. Now the password is hashed.
1023 - Support @NORATE syntax in a name, which avoids the player is
1026 2006-09-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1029 - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#.
1031 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1034 - Re-design: trip is now a suffix of the password, not name.
1035 - Simplified the output of %%RATING.
1037 - Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same
1038 before-@-names are mapped to one.
1040 2006-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1042 * [mk_rate] Fix a bug. It solves the correct rate.
1044 2006-08-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1046 * [mk_rate] Re-design.
1047 - Correct the equations.
1048 - Apply deaccelerated Newton method.

1078 * Add a comment line about the rated game status in the CSA file.
1079 * Remove the rating system, which will be calculated by another
1082 2006-08-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1084 * Add a command, %%RATING, to show a ranking sorted by rates.
1086 2006-07-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
