+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
+ This bug has been fixed.
+
+2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [mk_html]
+ - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
+ different colors.
+
+2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [mk_rate]
+ - The half-life period is now configurable.
+ ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
+
+2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
+
+2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
+ fixed.
+
+2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [util/players-graph.rb]
+ - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
+ rates.
+ - Small PNG gets smaller.
+
+2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [util/players-graph.rb]
+ - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
+
+2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
+ server. This issue has been fixed.
+
+2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
+ - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
+ * [mk_html]
+ - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
+
+2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
+
+2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - Use WEBrick for server framework.
+ - Daemon mode is available.
+
+2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [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 <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
+
+2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
+ the calculation to complete.
+
+2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password.
+
2006-09-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
* [shogi-server] Refactored the login procedures.
* [shogi-server]
- Re-design: trip is now a suffix of the password, not name.
- - Sipmlyfiled the output of %%RATING.
+ - Simplified the output of %%RATING.
* [mk_rate]
- Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same
before-@-names are mapped to one.
