+
+ * [mk_rate]
+ - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
+ mk_rate-from-grep.
+
+2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
+ When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
+ in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
+
+2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
+ Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
+ (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
+ StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
+ professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
+ miniute is regarded as zero.
+ To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
+ byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".

+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
+ The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
+ supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
+ source_game.
+ - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
+
+2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
+ This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
+ matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
+ is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
+ It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
+ http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
+
+2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
+ Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
+ one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
+ valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
+ where the previous position of the last one.
+ - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
+ the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
+ plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
+ the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
+ with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
+ previous stable position.
+ ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60

+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - Backported a5c94012656902e73e00f46e7a4c7004b24d4578:
+ test/TC_logger.rb depeneded on a specific directory where it was
+ running on. This issues has been fixed.
+ - Backported 87d145bd1f1a14a33f5f6fbc78b63a1952f1ca90 and
+ 2df8c798aeb7f0e77735e893fd1370c2c6f15c4d:

+ This issue has been fixed.
+
+2012-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - shogi_server/pairing.rb:
+ + There was a bug in the logic avoiding human-human match.
+ This issue has been fixed.
+ + Improved the logic avoiding human-human match. Human-human
+ matches will less likely happen.
+
+2010-10-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
+ Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
+
+2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
+ initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
+ issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
+ Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
+
+2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
+ Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
+ specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
+ looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
+ parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
+ part is optional.
+ + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
+ is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
+ + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
+
+2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
+ The Buoy behaivor is changed.
+ + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
+ position with the initial position and moves, instread of a
+ targeting position.
+ + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
+ ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
+
+2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
+ logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
+ Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
+
+2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
+ Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
+ earlier than system time.
+ - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
+ now returns an instance correctly.
+ - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
+ mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
+ - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
+ mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
+
+2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - shogi_server/command.rb:
+ + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
+ + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
+ ignored instead of unknown command errors.
+ - shogi_server.rb:
+ + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
+ ShogiServer::Logger class.
+ + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
+ logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
+ making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
+ - shogi-server:
+ + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
+
+2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
+ with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
+ This issue has been fixed.
+
+2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
+ - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
+ instread of deep_copy().
+
+2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
+ instance variables.
+ - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
+ Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
+ size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
+ instance.
+
+2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - A new command line option:
+ --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
+ where a game string should be a valid game name such as
+ floodgate-900-0.
+ .
+ Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
+ you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
+ previous versions, you need to spefify the game name in this new
+ option.
+ - Floodgate time configuration file:
+ You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
+ configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgat
+ e group requires a correspoding configuration file named
+ "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
+ game starts.
+ .
+ For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
+ floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
+ floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
+ versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
+ defualt time settings.
+ File format is:
+ Line format:
+ # This is a comment line
+ DoW Time
+ ...
+ where
+ DoW := "Sun" | "Mon" | "Tue" | "Wed" | "Thu" | "Fri" | "Sat" |
+ "Sunday" | "Monday" | "Tuesday" | "Wednesday" | "Thursday" |
+ "Friday" | "Saturday"
+ Time := HH:MM
+
+ For example,
+ Sat 13:00
+ Sat 22:00
+ Sun 13:00
+
+2010-06-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
+ work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
+
+2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
+ - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
+
+2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [mk_rate]
+ - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
+ is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
+ Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
+ - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
+ games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
+
+2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - shogi_server/player.rb:
+ Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
+ connection suddenly.
+
+2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - shogi_server/command.rb:
+ Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
+ %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
+ fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
+
+2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
+ one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
+ happen with human players, especially on slow network,
+ impatiently sending a move twice.
+
+2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previouslly,
+ a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
+ lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
+ byo-yomi etc.
+
+2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
+ Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
+ handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
+ and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
+ "*" is not available.
+ - hclance_
+ - hcbishop_
+ - hcrook_
+ - hcrooklance_
+ - hc2p_
+ - hc4p_
+ - hc6p_
+ - hc10p_
+
+2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
+ Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
+ When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
+ immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
+ file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
+ Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
+ appended to the record file.
+ - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
+ not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
+
+2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
+
+2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
+ floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
+
+2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
+ been deprectated. The server will decide history file names such
+ as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
+ 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
+ directory.
+
+2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
+ is_computer?.
+ A human player is recommened to use a name ending with '_human'.
+ ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
+ - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
+ StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
+ avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instread of the
+ previous class: StartGame.
+ - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
+ Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
+
+2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
+
+2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [mk_rate]
+ - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
+ base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
+ ignored for the calculation.
+
+2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
+ which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
+ not exist, the server will create one automatically.
+ Instruction to use the game result list file:
+ 1. Make a list of game results from exisiting CSA files with
+ mk_game_results
+ % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
+ 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
+ '00LIST' when the game finishes.
+ 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
+ players.
+ % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
+
2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
* [mk_rate]
- Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
- a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.html
+ a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
requires two steps as follows:
- % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00list
- % ./mk_rate 00list > players.html
+ % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
+ % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
or
- % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.html
+ % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
(Closes: #19454)
2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
New commands:
+ %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
Set a new buoy game.
- ex. %%SETBUOYGAME buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
- ex. %%SETBUOYGAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
+ ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
+ ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
- game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
ex. buoy_foo-900-0
- moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
