2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log messages that are received or sent to the wire. 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a record file instead of after the last move, which allows other applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle of the game. (Closes #12821) - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked, it might have prevented other players from processing until timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555) 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #12661) 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki * [players_graph.rb] - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856) 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki * [mk_rate] - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800) 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - The source has been splited to multiple sub files. - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport. - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by sending a HUP signal to the server. - The server log will be rotated daily. 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not available on the next game. This issue has been fixed. Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging. - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed. 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki * [news] - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion. 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been fixed. - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined method error in Pairing. 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move. This bug has been fixed. - The server crashed by an undefined method error. This issue has been fixed. 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as "2008/05/05/*.csa". Thease days, we have many games in a day. This change will help users browse a file list. 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki * [mk_html] - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with different colors. 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki * [mk_html] - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence results in "N/A". 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki * [mk_rate] - The half-life period is now configurable. ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning. 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change), based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch. 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been fixed. 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This issue has been fixed. - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her turn. 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black. It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed. Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug. 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki * [util/players-graph.rb] - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24 rates. - Small PNG gets smaller. 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki * [mk_html] - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now). 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki * [mk_rate] - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts. $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file. 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log. Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the server. 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki * [util/players-graph.rb] - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score. 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the server. This issue has been fixed. 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that a thread's abort does not affect the others. - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has been fixed. 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the default option now. - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file, pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used, meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running server. - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate. 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games. 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki * [ml_html] - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected recently are not listed. * [shogi-server] - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs. 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki * [mk_rate] [mk_html] - Display not-yet-rated players as well. * [mk_html] - Use Yahoo! UI Library. 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] [webserver] - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as an absolute path before switching to daemon. - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file will be removed when the server shuts down. 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/. - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next day. This issue has been fixed. 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0". Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues. 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki * [mk_rate] - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher). It may not work with lower verions. 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed. 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki * [webserver] - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported. * [mk_rate] - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values). 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it. - Show revision in a start up message. 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients send LF, the server sends back LF. - More care for socket errors. 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows the error. 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information. 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - Use WEBrick for server framework. - Daemon mode is available. 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed. - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml. This issues has been fixed. 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki * [mk_html] - Show groups in the order specified in players.html. - Players who gamed recently have a background color. * [mk_rate] - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect. 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand. That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed. 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful ratings. 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki * [mk_rate][mk_html] - Put players into "connected" groups in order to show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at least a game with other players. - The format of players.yaml was updated. * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml. 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix. 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order the calculation to complete. 2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password. 2006-09-22 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] Refactored the login procedures. 2006-09-21 Daigo Moriwaki * [mk_rate] It failed parse draw games. Now this bug has been fixed. * [mk_html] Add CSS to look better. 2006-09-15 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - Remove the trip in a password. Now the password is hashed. * [mk_rate] - Support @NORATE syntax in a name, which avoids the player is rated. 2006-09-09 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#. 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki * [shogi-server] - Re-design: trip is now a suffix of the password, not name. - Simplified the output of %%RATING. * [mk_rate] - Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same before-@-names are mapped to one. 2006-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki * [mk_rate] Fix a bug. It solves the correct rate. 2006-08-18 Daigo Moriwaki * [mk_rate] Re-design. - Correct the equations. - Apply deaccelerated Newton method. 2006-08-16 Daigo Moriwaki * [mk_rate] - Fix a bug.
