4 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
5 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
6 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
7 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
18 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
21 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
22 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
23 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
24 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
25 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
26 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
27 appended to the record file.
28 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
29 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
31 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
33 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
35 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
38 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
39 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
41 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
44 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
45 been deprectated. The server will decide history file names such
46 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
47 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
50 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
53 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
55 A human player is recommened to use a name ending with '_human'.
56 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
57 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
58 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
59 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instread of the
60 previous class: StartGame.
61 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
62 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
64 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
67 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
69 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
72 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
73 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
74 ignored for the calculation.
76 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
79 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
80 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
81 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
82 Instruction to use the game result list file:
83 1. Make a list of game results from exisiting CSA files with
85 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
86 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
87 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
88 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
90 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
92 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
95 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
96 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
97 requires two steps as follows:
98 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
99 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
101 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
104 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
107 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
108 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
109 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
110 players can play a new game with the game name.
112 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
114 ex. %%SETBUOYGAME buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
115 ex. %%SETBUOYGAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
116 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
118 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
119 spcific position that you want to start with.
120 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
121 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
122 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
123 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
124 game is removed automatically by the server.
126 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
127 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
128 allowed to delete it.
129 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
130 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
131 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
132 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
136 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
139 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
141 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
144 - An emtpy floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
145 issue has been fixed.
148 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
151 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
152 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
153 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
156 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
159 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
160 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
161 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
162 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
165 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
168 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
169 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
172 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
174 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
175 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
178 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
181 - Improved performance.
183 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
186 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
187 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
188 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
190 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
192 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
193 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
195 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
198 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
199 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
200 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
201 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
203 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
206 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
207 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
209 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
212 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
213 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
215 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
216 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
217 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
218 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
219 time out. (Closes: #14469)
221 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
224 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
225 the filename at the bottom of a genrated page. A text specific to
226 wdoor should be written by using this option.
228 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
231 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
234 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
235 incomplete records are skipped.
236 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
237 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
238 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
239 names in command line arguments.
241 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
244 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
247 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
248 by command line options, expecially in case of the daemon mode.
250 - A lotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
253 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
256 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
258 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
261 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
262 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
263 records are taken care of when games are matched.
265 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
267 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
268 - Display time control graphs as well.
269 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
272 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
275 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
276 - Daemon mode is available.
277 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
278 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
279 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
281 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
284 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
285 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
287 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
290 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
291 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
292 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
293 of the game. (Closes #12821)
294 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
295 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
296 it might have prevented other players from processing until
297 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
299 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
302 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
303 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
306 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
309 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
311 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
314 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
315 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
317 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
320 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
321 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
322 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
323 sending a HUP signal to the server.
324 - The server log will be rotated daily.
326 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
329 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
330 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
331 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
332 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
333 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
335 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
338 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
340 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
343 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
344 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
346 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
347 method error in Pairing.
349 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
352 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
353 This bug has been fixed.
354 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
355 This issue has been fixed.
357 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
360 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
361 "2008/05/05/*.csa". Thease days, we have many games in a day.
362 This change will help users browse a file list.
364 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
367 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
370 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
373 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
374 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
377 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
380 - The half-life period is now configurable.
381 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
383 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
386 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
388 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
391 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
392 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
394 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
397 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
400 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
403 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
404 issue has been fixed.
405 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
406 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
407 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
408 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
411 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
414 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
415 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
416 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
417 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
419 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
421 * [util/players-graph.rb]
422 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
424 - Small PNG gets smaller.
426 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
429 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
430 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
432 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
435 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
436 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
437 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
439 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
442 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
443 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
444 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
447 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
449 * [util/players-graph.rb]
450 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
452 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
455 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
456 server. This issue has been fixed.
458 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
461 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
462 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
463 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
464 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
467 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
470 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
471 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
472 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
474 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
475 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
476 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
478 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
479 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
481 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
484 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
485 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
487 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
490 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
491 recently are not listed.
493 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
495 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
497 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
498 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
500 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
502 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
504 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
505 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
506 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
507 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
508 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
509 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
510 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
511 will be removed when the server shuts down.
513 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
516 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
517 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
518 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
519 day. This issue has been fixed.
521 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
524 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
525 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
526 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
528 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
531 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
532 It may not work with lower verions.
534 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
537 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
538 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
539 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
541 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
544 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
545 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
546 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
548 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
549 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
551 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
554 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
555 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
556 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
557 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
558 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
559 - Show revision in a start up message.
561 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
564 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
565 send LF, the server sends back LF.
566 - More care for socket errors.
568 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
570 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
571 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
574 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
576 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
578 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
581 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
582 - Daemon mode is available.
584 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
587 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
588 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
589 This issues has been fixed.
591 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
594 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
595 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
597 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
599 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
601 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
602 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
604 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
606 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
607 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
608 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
609 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
612 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
615 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
616 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
617 least a game with other players.
618 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
619 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
621 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
623 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
625 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
627 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
628 the calculation to complete.
630 2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
632 * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password.
634 2006-09-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
636 * [shogi-server] Refactored the login procedures.
638 2006-09-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
640 * [mk_rate] It failed parse draw games. Now this bug has been fixed.
641 * [mk_html] Add CSS to look better.
643 2006-09-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
646 - Remove the trip in a password. Now the password is hashed.
648 - Support @NORATE syntax in a name, which avoids the player is
651 2006-09-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
654 - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#.
656 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
