4 - New feature: max moves
5 - New command line option: --max-moves n
6 When a game with the n-th move played does not end, make the
7 game a draw (default 256). 0 disables this feature.
8 - Players will receive a new message, "#MAX_MOVES_DRAW", upon
12 - A new log summary type, "max_moves_draw", has been assigned for games
13 drawing with max moves.
14 'summary:max_moves_draw:name_sente draw:name_gote draw
15 - Least time per move:
16 - New command line option: --least-time-per-move n
17 This opotion specifies a least time in second per move, which
18 was previously 1 sec but is now by default 1, meaning that a
19 decimal fraction of time for a move will be truncated.
21 2014-07-19 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
24 - Added a new option, --abnormal-threshold n:
25 Games that end with the 'abnormal' status are counted in
26 win/lost games for the rating calculation if a game plays more
27 than n plies. Otherwise (or if n is zero), abnormal games are
28 counted out of rating games.
30 2013-12-29 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
33 - Previously, parameters in Floodgate time configuration file were
34 not applied to actual instances. This issue has been fixed.
36 2013-12-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
39 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Impose penalty on matches between
42 2013-12-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
45 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
46 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
47 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
48 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
49 already in use - bind(2)".
51 - Released: Revision "20131215"
53 2013-12-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
56 - Added a new program, bin/usiToCsa.rb, which is a bridge for a
57 USI engine to connect to the Shogi-server.
58 - bin/usiToCsa is a sample wrapper script.
60 2013-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
63 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb:
64 - Added a log message.
66 2013-12-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
69 - shogi-server/shogi_server/pairing.rb:
70 - Modified comment for LeastDiff match.
71 - Changed log messages and levels.
73 2013-12-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
76 - shogi_server/pairing.rb, player.rb:
77 Simplify estimated rate of unrated players (less memory).
78 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
79 Now it supports "set sacrifice <player_id>"; it sets a
80 sacrificed player for a specific Floodgate game.
81 ex. set sacrifice gps500+e293220e3f8a3e59f79f6b0efffaa931
83 2013-12-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
86 - Added a new pairing method, ShogiServer::ExcludeUnratedPlayers,
87 which filters out unrated players.
88 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
89 Now it supports "set pairing_factory <function_name>"; it sets a
90 factory function name generating a pairing method which will be
91 used in a specific Floodgate game.
92 ex. set pairing_factory floodgate_zyunisen
93 - Implemented conversion of move representation between CSA format
96 2013-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
99 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
100 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
102 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
103 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
104 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
105 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
106 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
107 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
108 already in use - bind(2)".
110 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
111 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
112 - Removed files that are no longer used.
114 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
117 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
118 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
119 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
120 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
122 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
125 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
128 - Flush after each output line.
129 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
131 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
134 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
135 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
136 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
138 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
141 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
142 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
143 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
144 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
145 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
146 miniute is regarded as zero.
147 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
148 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
150 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
153 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
154 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
155 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
157 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
159 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
162 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
163 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
164 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
165 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
166 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
167 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
169 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
172 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
173 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
174 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
175 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
176 where the previous position of the last one.
177 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
178 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
179 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
180 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
181 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
182 previous stable position.
183 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60
185 2012-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
188 - Backported a5c94012656902e73e00f46e7a4c7004b24d4578:

195 This issue has been fixed.
197 2012-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
200 - shogi_server/pairing.rb:
201 + There was a bug in the logic avoiding human-human match.
202 This issue has been fixed.
203 + Improved the logic avoiding human-human match. Human-human
204 matches will less likely happen.
206 2012-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
209 - Added shogi_server/compatible.rb, which implements compatible
210 methods and allows Ruby 1.8.7 to run the server.

229 running on. This issues has been fixed.
231 2012-01-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
234 - shogi_server/floodgate.rb: Generating next time around the new
235 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
236 This issue has been fixed.
238 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
241 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
242 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
243 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
244 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.
245 * [mk_rate] [mk_game_results]

271 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
272 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
274 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
277 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
278 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
279 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
280 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
282 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
285 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
286 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
287 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
288 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
289 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
291 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
292 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
293 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
295 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
298 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
299 The Buoy behavior is changed.
300 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
301 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
303 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
304 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
306 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
309 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
310 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
311 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
313 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
316 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
317 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
318 earlier than system time.
319 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
320 now returns an instance correctly.
321 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
322 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
323 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
324 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
326 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
329 - shogi_server/command.rb:
330 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
331 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
332 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
334 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
335 ShogiServer::Logger class.
336 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
337 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
338 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
340 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
342 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
345 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
346 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
347 This issue has been fixed.
349 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
352 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
353 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
354 instead of deep_copy().
356 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
359 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
361 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
362 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
363 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
366 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
369 - A new command line option:
370 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
371 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
374 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
375 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
376 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
378 - Floodgate time configuration file:
379 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
380 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
381 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
382 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
385 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
386 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
387 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
388 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
389 default time settings.

409 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
410 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
412 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
415 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
416 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
418 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
421 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
422 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
423 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
424 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
425 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
427 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
430 - shogi_server/player.rb:
431 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
434 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
437 - shogi_server/command.rb:
438 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
439 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
440 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
442 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
445 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
446 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
447 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
448 impatiently sending a move twice.
450 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
453 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
454 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
455 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
458 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
461 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
462 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
463 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
464 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
465 "*" is not available.
475 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
478 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
479 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
480 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
481 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
482 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
483 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
484 appended to the record file.
485 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
486 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
488 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
490 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
492 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
495 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
496 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
498 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
501 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
502 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
503 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
504 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
507 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
510 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
512 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
513 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
514 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
515 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
516 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
517 previous class: StartGame.
518 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
519 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
521 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
524 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
526 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
529 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
530 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
531 ignored for the calculation.
533 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
536 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
537 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
538 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
539 Instruction to use the game result list file:
540 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
542 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
543 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
544 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
545 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
547 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
549 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
552 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
553 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
554 requires two steps as follows:
555 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
556 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
558 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
561 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
564 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
565 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
566 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
567 players can play a new game with the game name.
569 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
571 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
572 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
573 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
575 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
576 specific position that you want to start with.
577 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
578 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
579 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
580 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
581 game is removed automatically by the server.
583 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
584 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
585 allowed to delete it.
586 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
587 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
588 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
589 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
593 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
596 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
598 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
601 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
602 issue has been fixed.

608 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
609 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
610 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
613 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
616 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
617 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
618 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
619 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
622 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
625 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
626 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
629 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
631 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
632 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
635 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
638 - Improved performance.
640 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
643 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
644 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
645 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
647 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
649 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
650 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
652 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
655 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
656 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
657 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
658 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
660 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
663 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
664 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
666 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
669 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
670 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
672 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
673 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
674 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
675 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
676 time out. (Closes: #14469)
678 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
681 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
682 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
683 wdoor should be written by using this option.
685 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
688 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
691 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
692 incomplete records are skipped.
693 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
694 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
695 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
696 names in command line arguments.
698 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
701 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
704 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
705 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
707 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
710 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
713 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
715 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
718 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
719 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
720 records are taken care of when games are matched.
722 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
724 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
725 - Display time control graphs as well.
726 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
729 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
732 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
733 - Daemon mode is available.
734 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
735 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
736 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
738 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
741 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
742 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
744 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
747 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
748 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
749 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
750 of the game. (Closes #12821)
751 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
752 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
753 it might have prevented other players from processing until
754 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
756 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
759 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
760 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
763 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
766 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
768 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
771 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
772 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
774 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
777 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
778 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
779 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
780 sending a HUP signal to the server.
781 - The server log will be rotated daily.
783 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
786 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
787 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
788 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
789 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
790 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
792 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
795 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
797 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
800 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
801 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
803 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
804 method error in Pairing.
806 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
809 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
810 This bug has been fixed.
811 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
812 This issue has been fixed.
814 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
817 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
818 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
819 This change will help users browse a file list.
821 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
824 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
827 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
830 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
831 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
834 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
837 - The half-life period is now configurable.
838 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
840 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
843 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
845 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
848 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
849 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
851 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
854 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
857 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
860 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
861 issue has been fixed.
862 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
863 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
864 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
865 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
868 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
871 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
872 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
873 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
874 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
876 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
878 * [util/players-graph.rb]
879 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
881 - Small PNG gets smaller.
883 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
886 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
887 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
889 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
892 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
893 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
894 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
896 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
899 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
900 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
901 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
904 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
906 * [util/players-graph.rb]
907 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
909 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
912 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
913 server. This issue has been fixed.
915 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
918 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
919 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
920 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
921 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
924 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
927 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
928 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
929 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
931 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
932 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
933 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
935 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
936 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
938 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
941 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
942 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
944 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
947 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
948 recently are not listed.
950 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
952 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
954 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
955 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
957 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
959 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
961 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
962 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
963 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
964 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
965 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
966 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
967 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
968 will be removed when the server shuts down.
970 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
973 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
974 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
975 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
976 day. This issue has been fixed.
978 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
981 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
982 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
983 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
985 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
988 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
989 It may not work with lower verions.
991 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
994 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
995 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
996 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
998 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1001 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
1002 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
1003 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
1005 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
1006 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
1008 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1011 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
1012 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
1013 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
1014 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
1015 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
1016 - Show revision in a start up message.
1018 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1021 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
1022 send LF, the server sends back LF.
1023 - More care for socket errors.
1025 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1027 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
1028 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
1031 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1033 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
1035 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1038 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
1039 - Daemon mode is available.
1041 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1044 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
1045 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
1046 This issues has been fixed.
1048 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1051 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
1052 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
1054 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
1056 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1058 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
1059 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
1061 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1063 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
1064 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
1065 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
1066 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
1069 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1071 * [mk_rate][mk_html]
1072 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
1073 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
1074 least a game with other players.
1075 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
1076 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
1078 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1080 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
1082 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1084 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
1085 the calculation to complete.
1087 2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1089 * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password.
1091 2006-09-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1093 * [shogi-server] Refactored the login procedures.
1095 2006-09-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1097 * [mk_rate] It failed parse draw games. Now this bug has been fixed.
1098 * [mk_html] Add CSS to look better.
1100 2006-09-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1103 - Remove the trip in a password. Now the password is hashed.
1105 - Support @NORATE syntax in a name, which avoids the player is
1108 2006-09-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1111 - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#.
1113 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1116 - Re-design: trip is now a suffix of the password, not name.
1117 - Simplified the output of %%RATING.
1119 - Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same
1120 before-@-names are mapped to one.
1122 2006-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1124 * [mk_rate] Fix a bug. It solves the correct rate.
1126 2006-08-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1128 * [mk_rate] Re-design.
1129 - Correct the equations.
1130 - Apply deaccelerated Newton method.
1132 2006-08-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1135 - Fix a bug. Now it can see black/white players in a csa file.
1137 - Add a space in the output of %%RATING.
1139 2006-08-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1141 * [mk_rate] Record numbers of win/loss games.
1142 * Add mk_html, which generates html from players.yaml
1143 * Fix test/test_board.rb. Now it works.
1144 * Add test/TC_ALL.rb to run all test cases.
1145 * [shogi-server] Fix a bug. Now it can show %%RATING even if it has no
1148 2006-08-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>

1158 * Change the player id, which is now <name>+<hash_of_the_trip>.
1159 * Fix the max length of the login name with a trip.
1160 * Add a comment line about the rated game status in the CSA file.
1161 * Remove the rating system, which will be calculated by another
1164 2006-08-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1166 * Add a command, %%RATING, to show a ranking sorted by rates.
1168 2006-07-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
