4 - Previously, parameters in Floodgate time configuration file were
5 not applied to actual instances. This issue has been fixed.
7 2013-12-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
10 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Impose penalty on matches between
13 2013-12-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
16 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
17 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
18 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
19 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
20 already in use - bind(2)".
22 - Released: Revision "20131215"
24 2013-12-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
27 - Added a new program, bin/usiToCsa.rb, which is a bridge for a
28 USI engine to connect to the Shogi-server.
29 - bin/usiToCsa is a sample wrapper script.
31 2013-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
34 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb:
35 - Added a log message.
37 2013-12-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
40 - shogi-server/shogi_server/pairing.rb:
41 - Modified comment for LeastDiff match.
42 - Changed log messages and levels.
44 2013-12-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
47 - shogi_server/pairing.rb, player.rb:
48 Simplify estimated rate of unrated players (less memory).
49 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
50 Now it supports "set sacrifice <player_id>"; it sets a
51 sacrificed player for a specific Floodgate game.
52 ex. set sacrifice gps500+e293220e3f8a3e59f79f6b0efffaa931
54 2013-12-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
57 - Added a new pairing method, ShogiServer::ExcludeUnratedPlayers,
58 which filters out unrated players.
59 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
60 Now it supports "set pairing_factory <function_name>"; it sets a
61 factory function name generating a pairing method which will be
62 used in a specific Floodgate game.
63 ex. set pairing_factory floodgate_zyunisen
65 - Implemented conversion of move representation between CSA format
67 >>>>>>> 201312-usiToCsa
69 2013-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
72 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
73 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
75 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
76 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
77 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
78 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
79 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
80 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
81 already in use - bind(2)".
83 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
84 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
85 - Removed files that are no longer used.
87 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
90 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
91 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
92 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
93 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
95 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
98 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
101 - Flush after each output line.
102 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
104 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
107 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
108 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
109 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
111 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
114 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
115 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
116 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
117 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
118 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
119 miniute is regarded as zero.
120 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
121 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
123 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
126 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
127 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
128 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
130 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
132 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
135 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
136 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
137 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
138 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
139 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
140 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
142 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
145 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
146 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
147 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
148 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
149 where the previous position of the last one.
150 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
151 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
152 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
153 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
154 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
155 previous stable position.
156 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60

173 - shogi_server/pairing.rb:
174 + There was a bug in the logic avoiding human-human match.
175 This issue has been fixed.
176 + Improved the logic avoiding human-human match. Human-human
177 matches will less likely happen.
179 2012-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
182 - Added shogi_server/compatible.rb, which implements compatible
183 methods and allows Ruby 1.8.7 to run the server.

209 This issue has been fixed.
211 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
214 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
215 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
216 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
217 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.
218 * [mk_rate] [mk_game_results]

244 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
245 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
247 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
250 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
251 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
252 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
253 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
255 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
258 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
259 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
260 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
261 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
262 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
264 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
265 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
266 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
268 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
271 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
272 The Buoy behavior is changed.
273 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
274 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
276 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
277 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
279 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
282 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
283 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
284 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
286 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
289 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
290 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
291 earlier than system time.
292 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
293 now returns an instance correctly.
294 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
295 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
296 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
297 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
299 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
302 - shogi_server/command.rb:
303 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
304 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
305 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
307 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
308 ShogiServer::Logger class.
309 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
310 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
311 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
313 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
315 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
318 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
319 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
320 This issue has been fixed.
322 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
325 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
326 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
327 instead of deep_copy().
329 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
332 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
334 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
335 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
336 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
339 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
342 - A new command line option:
343 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
344 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
347 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
348 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
349 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
351 - Floodgate time configuration file:
352 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
353 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
354 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
355 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
358 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
359 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
360 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
361 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
362 default time settings.

382 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
383 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
385 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
388 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
389 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
391 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
394 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
395 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
396 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
397 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
398 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
400 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
403 - shogi_server/player.rb:
404 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
407 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
410 - shogi_server/command.rb:
411 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
412 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
413 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
415 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
418 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
419 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
420 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
421 impatiently sending a move twice.
423 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
426 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
427 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
428 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
431 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
434 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
435 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
436 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
437 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
438 "*" is not available.
448 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
451 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
452 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
453 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
454 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
455 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
456 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
457 appended to the record file.
458 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
459 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
461 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
463 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
465 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
468 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
469 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
471 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
474 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
475 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
476 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
477 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
480 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
483 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
485 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
486 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
487 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
488 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
489 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
490 previous class: StartGame.
491 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
492 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
494 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
497 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
499 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
502 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
503 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
504 ignored for the calculation.
506 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
509 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
510 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
511 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
512 Instruction to use the game result list file:
513 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
515 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
516 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
517 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
518 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
520 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
522 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
525 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
526 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
527 requires two steps as follows:
528 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
529 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
531 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
534 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
537 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
538 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
539 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
540 players can play a new game with the game name.
542 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
544 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
545 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
546 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
548 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
549 specific position that you want to start with.
550 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
551 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
552 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
553 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
554 game is removed automatically by the server.
556 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
557 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
558 allowed to delete it.
559 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
560 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
561 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
562 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
566 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
569 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
571 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
574 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
575 issue has been fixed.
578 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
581 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
582 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
583 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
586 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
589 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
590 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
591 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
592 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
595 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
598 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
599 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
602 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
604 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
605 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
608 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
611 - Improved performance.
613 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
616 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
617 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
618 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
620 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
622 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
623 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
625 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
628 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
629 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
630 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
631 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
633 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
636 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
637 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
639 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
642 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
643 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
645 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
646 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
647 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
648 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
649 time out. (Closes: #14469)
651 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
654 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
655 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
656 wdoor should be written by using this option.
658 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
661 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
664 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
665 incomplete records are skipped.
666 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
667 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
668 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
669 names in command line arguments.
671 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
674 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
677 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
678 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
680 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
683 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
686 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
688 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
691 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
692 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
693 records are taken care of when games are matched.
695 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
697 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
698 - Display time control graphs as well.
699 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
702 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
705 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
706 - Daemon mode is available.
707 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
708 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
709 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
711 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
714 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
715 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
717 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
720 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
721 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
722 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
723 of the game. (Closes #12821)
724 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
725 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
726 it might have prevented other players from processing until
727 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
729 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
732 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
733 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
736 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
739 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
741 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
744 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
745 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
747 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
750 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
751 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
752 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
753 sending a HUP signal to the server.
754 - The server log will be rotated daily.
756 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
759 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
760 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
761 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
762 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
763 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
765 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
768 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
770 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
773 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
774 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
776 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
777 method error in Pairing.
779 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
782 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
783 This bug has been fixed.
784 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
785 This issue has been fixed.
787 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
790 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
791 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
792 This change will help users browse a file list.
794 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
797 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
800 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
803 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
804 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
807 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
810 - The half-life period is now configurable.
811 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
813 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
816 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
818 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
821 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
822 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
824 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
827 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
830 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
833 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
834 issue has been fixed.
835 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
836 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
837 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
838 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
841 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
844 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
845 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
846 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
847 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
849 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
851 * [util/players-graph.rb]
852 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
854 - Small PNG gets smaller.
856 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
859 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
860 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
862 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
865 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
866 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
867 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
869 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
872 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
873 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
874 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
877 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
879 * [util/players-graph.rb]
880 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
882 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
885 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
886 server. This issue has been fixed.
888 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
891 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
892 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
893 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
894 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
897 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
900 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
901 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
902 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
904 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
905 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
906 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
908 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
909 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
911 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
914 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
915 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
917 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
920 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
921 recently are not listed.
923 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
925 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
927 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
928 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
930 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
932 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
934 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
935 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
936 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
937 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
938 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
939 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
940 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
941 will be removed when the server shuts down.
943 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
946 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
947 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
948 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
949 day. This issue has been fixed.
951 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
954 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
955 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
956 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
958 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
961 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
962 It may not work with lower verions.
964 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
967 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
968 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
969 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
971 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
974 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
975 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
976 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
978 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
979 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
981 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
984 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
985 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
986 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
987 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
988 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
989 - Show revision in a start up message.
991 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
994 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
995 send LF, the server sends back LF.
996 - More care for socket errors.
998 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1000 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
1001 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
1004 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1006 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
1008 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1011 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
1012 - Daemon mode is available.
1014 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1017 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
1018 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
1019 This issues has been fixed.
1021 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1024 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
1025 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
1027 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
1029 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1031 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
1032 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
1034 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1036 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
1037 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
1038 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
1039 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
1042 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1044 * [mk_rate][mk_html]
1045 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
1046 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
1047 least a game with other players.
1048 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
1049 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
1051 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1053 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
1055 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1057 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
1058 the calculation to complete.
1060 2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1062 * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password.
1064 2006-09-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1066 * [shogi-server] Refactored the login procedures.
1068 2006-09-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1070 * [mk_rate] It failed parse draw games. Now this bug has been fixed.
1071 * [mk_html] Add CSS to look better.
1073 2006-09-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1076 - Remove the trip in a password. Now the password is hashed.
1078 - Support @NORATE syntax in a name, which avoids the player is
1081 2006-09-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1084 - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#.
1086 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1089 - Re-design: trip is now a suffix of the password, not name.
1090 - Simplified the output of %%RATING.
1092 - Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same
1093 before-@-names are mapped to one.
1095 2006-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1097 * [mk_rate] Fix a bug. It solves the correct rate.
1099 2006-08-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1101 * [mk_rate] Re-design.
1102 - Correct the equations.
1103 - Apply deaccelerated Newton method.
1105 2006-08-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1108 - Fix a bug. Now it can see black/white players in a csa file.
1110 - Add a space in the output of %%RATING.
1112 2006-08-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1114 * [mk_rate] Record numbers of win/loss games.
1115 * Add mk_html, which generates html from players.yaml
1116 * Fix test/test_board.rb. Now it works.
1117 * Add test/TC_ALL.rb to run all test cases.
1118 * [shogi-server] Fix a bug. Now it can show %%RATING even if it has no
1121 2006-08-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>

1132 * Fix the max length of the login name with a trip.
1133 * Add a comment line about the rated game status in the CSA file.
1134 * Remove the rating system, which will be calculated by another
1137 2006-08-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1139 * Add a command, %%RATING, to show a ranking sorted by rates.
1141 2006-07-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
