4 - shogi-server/shogi_server/pairing.rb: Modified comment for
7 2013-12-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
10 - shogi_server/pairing.rb, player.rb:
11 Simplify estimated rate of unrated players (less memory).
12 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
13 Now it supports "set sacrifice <player_id>"; it sets a
14 sacrificed player for a specific Floodgate game.
15 ex. set sacrifice gps500+e293220e3f8a3e59f79f6b0efffaa931
17 2013-12-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
20 - Added a new pairing method, ShogiServer::ExcludeUnratedPlayers,
21 which filters out unrated players.
22 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
23 Now it supports "set pairing_factory <function_name>"; it sets a
24 factory function name generating a pairing method which will be
25 used in a specific Floodgate game.
26 ex. set pairing_factory floodgate_zyunisen

31 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
32 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
34 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
35 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
36 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
37 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
38 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
39 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
40 already in use - bind(2)".
42 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
43 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
44 - Removed files that are no longer used.
46 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
49 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
50 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
51 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
52 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
54 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
57 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
60 - Flush after each output line.
61 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
63 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
66 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
67 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
68 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
70 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
73 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
74 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
75 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
76 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
77 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
78 miniute is regarded as zero.
79 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
80 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
82 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
85 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
86 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
87 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
89 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
91 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
94 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
95 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
96 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
97 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
98 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
99 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
101 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
104 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
105 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
106 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
107 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
108 where the previous position of the last one.
109 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
110 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
111 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
112 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
113 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
114 previous stable position.
115 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60

132 - shogi_server/pairing.rb:
133 + There was a bug in the logic avoiding human-human match.
134 This issue has been fixed.
135 + Improved the logic avoiding human-human match. Human-human
136 matches will less likely happen.
138 2012-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
141 - Added shogi_server/compatible.rb, which implements compatible
142 methods and allows Ruby 1.8.7 to run the server.

166 - shogi_server/floodgate.rb: Generating next time around the new
167 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
168 This issue has been fixed.
170 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
173 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
174 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
175 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
176 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.
177 * [mk_rate] [mk_game_results]

200 2010-10-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
203 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
204 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
206 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
209 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
210 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
211 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
212 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
214 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
217 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
218 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
219 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
220 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
221 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
223 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
224 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
225 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
227 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
230 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
231 The Buoy behavior is changed.
232 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
233 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
235 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
236 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
238 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
241 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
242 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
243 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
245 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
248 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
249 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
250 earlier than system time.
251 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
252 now returns an instance correctly.
253 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
254 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
255 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
256 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
258 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
261 - shogi_server/command.rb:
262 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
263 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
264 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
266 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
267 ShogiServer::Logger class.
268 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
269 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
270 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
272 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
274 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
277 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
278 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
279 This issue has been fixed.
281 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
284 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
285 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
286 instead of deep_copy().
288 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
291 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
293 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
294 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
295 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
298 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
301 - A new command line option:
302 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
303 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
306 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
307 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
308 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
310 - Floodgate time configuration file:
311 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
312 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
313 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
314 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
317 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
318 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
319 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
320 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
321 default time settings.

341 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
342 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
344 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
347 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
348 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
350 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
353 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
354 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
355 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
356 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
357 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
359 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
362 - shogi_server/player.rb:
363 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
366 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
369 - shogi_server/command.rb:
370 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
371 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
372 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
374 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
377 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
378 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
379 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
380 impatiently sending a move twice.
382 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
385 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
386 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
387 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
390 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
393 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
394 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
395 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
396 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
397 "*" is not available.
407 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
410 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
411 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
412 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
413 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
414 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
415 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
416 appended to the record file.
417 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
418 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
420 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
422 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
424 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
427 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
428 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
430 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
433 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
434 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
435 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
436 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
439 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
442 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
444 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
445 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
446 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
447 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
448 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
449 previous class: StartGame.
450 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
451 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
453 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
456 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
458 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
461 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
462 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
463 ignored for the calculation.
465 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
468 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
469 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
470 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
471 Instruction to use the game result list file:
472 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
474 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
475 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
476 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
477 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
479 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
481 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
484 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
485 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
486 requires two steps as follows:
487 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
488 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
490 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
493 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
496 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
497 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
498 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
499 players can play a new game with the game name.
501 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
503 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
504 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
505 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
507 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
508 specific position that you want to start with.
509 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
510 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
511 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
512 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
513 game is removed automatically by the server.
515 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
516 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
517 allowed to delete it.
518 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
519 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
520 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
521 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
525 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
528 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
530 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
533 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
534 issue has been fixed.
537 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
540 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
541 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
542 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
545 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
548 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
549 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
550 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
551 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
554 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
557 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
558 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
561 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
563 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
564 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
567 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
570 - Improved performance.
572 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
575 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
576 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
577 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
579 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
581 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
582 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
584 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
587 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
588 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
589 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
590 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
592 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
595 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
596 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
598 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
601 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
602 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
604 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
605 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
606 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
607 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
608 time out. (Closes: #14469)
610 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
613 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
614 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
615 wdoor should be written by using this option.
617 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
620 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
623 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
624 incomplete records are skipped.
625 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
626 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
627 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
628 names in command line arguments.
630 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
633 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
636 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
637 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
639 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
642 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
645 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
647 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
650 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
651 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
652 records are taken care of when games are matched.
654 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
656 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
657 - Display time control graphs as well.
658 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
661 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
664 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
665 - Daemon mode is available.
666 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
667 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
668 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
670 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
673 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
674 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
676 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
679 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
680 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
681 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
682 of the game. (Closes #12821)
683 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
684 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
685 it might have prevented other players from processing until
686 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
688 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
691 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
692 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
695 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
698 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
700 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
703 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
704 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
706 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
709 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
710 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
711 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
712 sending a HUP signal to the server.
713 - The server log will be rotated daily.
715 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
718 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
719 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
720 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
721 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
722 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
724 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
727 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
729 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
732 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
733 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
735 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
736 method error in Pairing.
738 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
741 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
742 This bug has been fixed.
743 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
744 This issue has been fixed.
746 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
749 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
750 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
751 This change will help users browse a file list.
753 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
756 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
759 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
762 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
763 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
766 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
769 - The half-life period is now configurable.
770 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
772 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
775 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
777 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
780 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
781 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
783 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
786 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
789 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
792 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
793 issue has been fixed.
794 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
795 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
796 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
797 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
800 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
803 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
804 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
805 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
806 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
808 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
810 * [util/players-graph.rb]
811 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
813 - Small PNG gets smaller.
815 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
818 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
819 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
821 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
824 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
825 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
826 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
828 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
831 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
832 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
833 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
836 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
838 * [util/players-graph.rb]
839 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
841 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
844 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
845 server. This issue has been fixed.
847 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
850 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
851 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
852 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
853 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
856 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
859 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
860 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
861 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
863 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
864 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
865 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
867 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
868 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
870 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
873 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
874 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
876 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
879 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
880 recently are not listed.
882 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
884 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
886 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
887 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
889 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
891 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
893 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
894 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
895 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
896 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
897 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
898 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
899 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
900 will be removed when the server shuts down.
902 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
905 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
906 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
907 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
908 day. This issue has been fixed.
910 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
913 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
914 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
915 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
917 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
920 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
921 It may not work with lower verions.
923 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
926 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
927 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
928 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
930 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
933 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
934 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
935 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
937 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
938 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
940 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
943 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
944 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
945 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
946 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
947 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
948 - Show revision in a start up message.
950 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
953 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
954 send LF, the server sends back LF.
955 - More care for socket errors.
957 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
959 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
960 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
963 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
965 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
967 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
970 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
971 - Daemon mode is available.
973 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
976 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
977 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
978 This issues has been fixed.
980 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
983 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
984 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
986 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
988 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
990 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
991 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
993 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
995 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
996 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
997 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
998 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
1001 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1003 * [mk_rate][mk_html]
1004 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
1005 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
1006 least a game with other players.
1007 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
1008 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
1010 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1012 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
1014 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1016 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
1017 the calculation to complete.
1019 2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1021 * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password.
1023 2006-09-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1025 * [shogi-server] Refactored the login procedures.
1027 2006-09-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1029 * [mk_rate] It failed parse draw games. Now this bug has been fixed.
1030 * [mk_html] Add CSS to look better.
1032 2006-09-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1035 - Remove the trip in a password. Now the password is hashed.
1037 - Support @NORATE syntax in a name, which avoids the player is
1040 2006-09-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1043 - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#.
1045 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1048 - Re-design: trip is now a suffix of the password, not name.
1049 - Simplified the output of %%RATING.
1051 - Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same
1052 before-@-names are mapped to one.
1054 2006-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1056 * [mk_rate] Fix a bug. It solves the correct rate.
1058 2006-08-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1060 * [mk_rate] Re-design.
1061 - Correct the equations.
1062 - Apply deaccelerated Newton method.
