4 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
5 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
6 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
7 impatiently sending a move twice.
9 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
12 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previouslly,
13 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
14 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
17 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
20 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
21 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
22 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
23 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
34 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
37 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
38 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
39 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
40 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
41 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
42 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
43 appended to the record file.
44 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
45 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
47 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
49 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
51 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
54 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
55 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
57 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
60 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
61 been deprectated. The server will decide history file names such
62 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
63 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
66 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
69 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
71 A human player is recommened to use a name ending with '_human'.
72 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
73 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
74 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
75 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instread of the
76 previous class: StartGame.
77 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
78 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
80 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
83 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
85 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
88 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
89 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
90 ignored for the calculation.
92 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
95 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
96 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
97 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
98 Instruction to use the game result list file:
99 1. Make a list of game results from exisiting CSA files with
101 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
102 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
103 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
104 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
106 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
108 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
111 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
112 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
113 requires two steps as follows:
114 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
115 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
117 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
120 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
123 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
124 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
125 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
126 players can play a new game with the game name.
128 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
130 ex. %%SETBUOYGAME buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
131 ex. %%SETBUOYGAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
132 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
134 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
135 spcific position that you want to start with.
136 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
137 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
138 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
139 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
140 game is removed automatically by the server.
142 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
143 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
144 allowed to delete it.
145 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
146 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
147 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
148 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
152 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
155 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
157 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
160 - An emtpy floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
161 issue has been fixed.
164 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
167 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
168 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
169 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
172 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
175 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
176 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
177 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
178 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
181 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
184 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
185 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
188 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
190 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
191 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
194 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
197 - Improved performance.
199 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
202 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
203 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
204 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
206 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
208 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
209 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
211 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
214 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
215 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
216 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
217 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
219 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
222 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
223 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
225 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
228 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
229 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
231 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
232 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
233 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
234 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
235 time out. (Closes: #14469)
237 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
240 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
241 the filename at the bottom of a genrated page. A text specific to
242 wdoor should be written by using this option.
244 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
247 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
250 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
251 incomplete records are skipped.
252 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
253 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
254 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
255 names in command line arguments.
257 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
260 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
263 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
264 by command line options, expecially in case of the daemon mode.
266 - A lotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
269 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
272 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
274 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
277 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
278 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
279 records are taken care of when games are matched.
281 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
283 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
284 - Display time control graphs as well.
285 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
288 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
291 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
292 - Daemon mode is available.
293 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
294 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
295 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
297 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
300 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
301 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
303 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
306 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
307 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
308 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
309 of the game. (Closes #12821)
310 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
311 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
312 it might have prevented other players from processing until
313 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
315 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
318 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
319 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
322 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
325 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
327 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
330 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
331 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
333 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
336 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
337 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
338 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
339 sending a HUP signal to the server.
340 - The server log will be rotated daily.
342 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
345 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
346 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
347 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
348 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
349 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
351 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
354 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
356 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
359 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
360 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
362 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
363 method error in Pairing.
365 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
368 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
369 This bug has been fixed.
370 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
371 This issue has been fixed.
373 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
376 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
377 "2008/05/05/*.csa". Thease days, we have many games in a day.
378 This change will help users browse a file list.
380 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
383 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
386 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
389 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
390 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
393 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
396 - The half-life period is now configurable.
397 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
399 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
402 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
404 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
407 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
408 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
410 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
413 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
416 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
419 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
420 issue has been fixed.
421 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
422 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
423 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
424 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
427 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
430 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
431 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
432 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
433 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
435 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
437 * [util/players-graph.rb]
438 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
440 - Small PNG gets smaller.
442 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
445 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
446 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
448 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
451 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
452 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
453 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
455 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
458 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
459 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
460 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
463 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
465 * [util/players-graph.rb]
466 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
468 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
471 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
472 server. This issue has been fixed.
474 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
477 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
478 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
479 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
480 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
483 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
486 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
487 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
488 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
490 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
491 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
492 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
494 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
495 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
497 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
500 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
501 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
503 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
506 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
507 recently are not listed.
509 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
511 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
513 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
514 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
516 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
518 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
520 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
521 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
522 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
523 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
524 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
525 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
526 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
527 will be removed when the server shuts down.
529 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
532 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
533 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
534 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
535 day. This issue has been fixed.
537 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
540 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
541 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
542 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
544 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
547 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
548 It may not work with lower verions.
550 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
553 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
554 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
555 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
557 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
560 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
561 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
562 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
564 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
565 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
567 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
570 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
571 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
572 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
573 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
574 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
575 - Show revision in a start up message.
577 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
580 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
581 send LF, the server sends back LF.
582 - More care for socket errors.
584 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
586 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
587 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
590 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
592 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
594 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
597 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
598 - Daemon mode is available.
600 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
603 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
604 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
605 This issues has been fixed.
607 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
610 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
611 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
613 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
615 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
617 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
618 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
620 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
622 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
623 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
624 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
625 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
628 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
631 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
632 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
633 least a game with other players.
634 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
635 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
637 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
639 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
641 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
643 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
644 the calculation to complete.
646 2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
648 * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password.
650 2006-09-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
652 * [shogi-server] Refactored the login procedures.
654 2006-09-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
