+2016-11-26  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server] Allow to customize maximum lenght of a login indentifier
+	  (Closes #36821)
+	  - The current maximum length of a login identifier is 32. Some
+	    private uses require longer player names to distinguish each other
+	    by specifying randomly generated tokens. It would of help to add a
+	    new command line option --max-identifier to overwrite the default
+	    maximum length.
+	* Build a Docker image for Shogi-server
+	  (Closes #36822)
+	  - Build a Docker image
+	      % make image-build
+	  - Running a local shogi-server would look like
+	      % docker run -p 4081:4081 -v `pwd`/logs:/logs shogi-server/shogi-server
+
+2016-04-09  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* utils/eval_graph.rb
+	  - Support Fischer time control.
+	* [shogi-server] Bump up the revision to 20160409.
+
+2016-04-02  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server] Support Fischer Time Control
+	  (Closes #36230)
+	  - Fischer time control means that:
+	    Before a player has made their move, a specified time increment is
+	    added to their clock. Time can be accumulated, so if the player
+	    moves within the delay period, their remaining time actually
+	    increases.
+	    (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_clock)
+	  - New syntax of game names:
+	    An 'F' suffix denotes a Fisher time in seconds. For example,
+	    "floodgate-600-10F" specifies
+	      + A floodgate game
+	      + Total allotted time is 600 seconds for each player
+	      + 10-second increment before a player's move in a Fischer way
+	  - The server now proposes game conditions upon a game start with
+	    - "Protocol_Version 1.2"
+	    - "Increment:<n>" for Fischer Time Control
+	  - Kifu files can include the following comment for Fischer Time
+	    Control:
+	    - "'Increment:<n>"
+	* [shogi-server] Fix some lint warnings.
+
+2015-12-13  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server] Enhance capability of Floodgate configuration file
+	  - New parameter: Max_Moves, defined in the CSA protocol
+	    ex. set Max_Moves 256
+	  - New parameter: Least_Time_Per_Move, defined in the CSA protocol
+	    ex. set Least_Time_Per_Move 0
+	  - Proposed messages distributed to each player upon starting a new
+	    game will include Max_Moves as well as Least_Time_Per_Move.
+	  - CSA files produced by the server will include settings of
+	    Max_Moves and Least_Time_Per_Move in comment lines as follows:
+	      'Max_Moves:256
+	      'Least_Time_Per_Move:0
+	  - The official Shogi-server on wdoor.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp will
+	    be running with different parameters, depending on game names.
+	    a) Max_Moves will be 256 for floodgate-600-10 games;
+	       otherwise, 0.
+	    b) Least_Time_Per_Move will be 0 for floodgate-600-10 games;
+	       otherwise 1.
+	  (Closes: #35839)
+	* [shogi-server] shogi_server/pairing.rb:
+	  - LeastDiff attempts more trials, depending of a number of players
+	    to be matched, top achieve more optimized matching combinations.
+
+2015-11-27  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server] shogi_server/time_clock.rb:
+	  - A time consumed could be -1.
+	    * The start time of a move is captured after sending a move to a
+	      player of the next turn at the end of the giant lock
+	    * The end time of the move is captured at the exact time when the
+	      server receives it before the giant lock
+	    Therefore, end_time < start_time is possible when a player returns a
+	    move instantly.
+	    Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for reporting this issue.
+	    (Closes: #35795)
+
+2015-02-14  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* util/statistics.rb:
+	  - Updated to investigate floodgate-600-10 games.
+	    Consult the result at
+	    http://www.sgtpepper.net/hyspro/diary/20150214.html.
+	  - Added a companion R script: histogram.R 
+
+2015-02-01  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server]
+	  - shogi_server/login.rb: When players are logged in, log their
+	    player_id if they have it.
+
+2015-01-20  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [mk_rate]
+	  - Getting an absolute path of this file was wrong if it was a
+	    symbolic link. This issue has been addressed.
+	* [mk_html]
+	  - Links to details pages for players now use a relative path so
+	    that it works on a testing site.
+
+2015-01-17  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server]
+	  - shogi-server, shogi_server/{command,game_result,player}.rb:
+	    The change at 2014-10-13 was not worked as expected. Reworked.
+	    A player, attempting to login with the current live player
+	    stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
+	    player.
+
+2015-01-12  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server]
+	  - shogi_server.rb: Follow an API change in a upstream class:
+	    LogDevice.previous_period_end
+
+2014-12-27  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server]
+	  - When a non-rated player participates in Floodgate, the following exception
+	    was thrown and a Floodgate game would not start:
+	      undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
+	      ["/home/shogi-server/www/x/shogi_server/pairing.rb:499:in `block
+	      in calculate_diff_with_penalty'"
+	    This issue has been resolved. Only players who have player ID
+	    (i.e. those who log in with valid password) are now allowed to
+	    participate in Floodgate as the spec web page
+	    [http://shogi-server.sourceforge.jp/rating.html] describes.
+
+2014-12-23  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server]
+	  - Addressed Ruby incompatibility on ShogiServer::Usi::alphabetToDan.
+	    It (and usiToCsa.rb) did not work with Ruby 1.9.3. This issue
+	    has now been fixed.
+	    Thanks to Hiraoka-san for debugging.
+
+2014-12-18  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* utils/eval_graph.rb:
+	  - Gnuplot 4.6.6 drew evaluation-value lines with a dashed style.
+	    This issue has now been addressed so that solid lines are used.
+
+2014-11-30  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [mk_html]
+	  - Corrected a url.
+
+2014-11-24  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* Ruby 2.0:
+	  - Ruby 2.0.0 or later is recommended to use with shogi-server
+	    since Ruby 1.8 reached its End-of-Life on the end of July, 2014.
+	* [shogi-server]
+	  - Addressed a warning of duplicated range in a regular expression.
+
+2014-10-13  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server]
+	  - A player, attempting to login with the current live player
+	    stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
+	    player.
+	  - Kifu record files now includes rating scores of players at the
+	    time when games start.  Previously, for rating games, a record
+	    file includes player IDs of both players with a line starting with
+	    "'rating".  Now it also shows rating scores for players who have
+	    valid scores.  The formats for black and white players are as
+	    follows:
+	      'black_rate:<player_id>:<score>
+	      'white_rate:<player_id>:<score>
+	    A sample output:
+	      'rating:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790
+	      'black_rate:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2763.0
+	      'white_rate:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2345.0
+
+2014-10-12  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi_server]
+	  - New feature: max moves
+	    - New command line option: --max-moves n
+	      When a game with the n-th move played does not end, make the
+	      game a draw (default 256 in compliance with CSA Protocol V1.2
+	      or later).  Setting 0 disables this feature for
+	      CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
+	    - Players will receive a new message, "#MAX_MOVES", upon an end
+	      of such a game:
+	        #MAX_MOVES
+	        #CENSORED
+	    - A new log summary type, "max_moves", has been assigned for games
+	      drawing with max moves.
+	      'summary:max_moves:name_sente draw:name_gote draw
+	  - Least time per move:
+	    - New command line option: --least-time-per-move n
+	      This option specifies a least time in second per move, which
+	      is 0 second by default, meaning that a decimal
+	      fraction of time for a move will be truncated in compliance
+	      with CSA Protocol V1.2 or later.
+	      Set 1 for CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
+
+2014-07-19  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [mk_rate]
+	  - Added a new option, --abnormal-threshold n:
+	    Games that end with the 'abnormal' status are counted in
+	    win/lost games for the rating calculation if a game plays more
+	    than n plies. Otherwise (or if n is zero), abnormal games are
+	    counted out of rating games.
+
+2014-01-07  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server]
+	  - Released: Revision "20140107"
+
+2013-12-29  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server]
+	  - Previously, parameters in Floodgate time configuration file were
+	    not applied to actual instances. This issue has been fixed.
+
+2013-12-21  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server]
+	  - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Impose penalty on matches between
+	    likely kin players.
+
+2013-12-15  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [webserver]
+	  - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
+	    any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
+	    and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
+	    and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
+	    already in use - bind(2)".
+	* [shogi-server]
+	  - Released: Revision "20131215"
+
+2013-12-14  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [usiToCsa]
+	  - Added a new program, bin/usiToCsa.rb, which is a bridge for a
+	    USI engine to connect to the Shogi-server.
+	  - bin/usiToCsa is a sample wrapper script.
+
+2013-12-13  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server]
+	  - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb:
+	    - Added a log message.
+
+2013-12-08  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server]
+	  - shogi-server/shogi_server/pairing.rb:
+	    - Modified comment for LeastDiff match.
+	    - Changed log messages and levels. 
+
+2013-12-07  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server]
+	  - shogi_server/pairing.rb, player.rb:
+	    Simplify estimated rate of unrated players (less memory).
+	  - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
+	    Now it supports "set sacrifice <player_id>"; it sets a
+	    sacrificed player for a specific Floodgate game.
+	    ex. set sacrifice gps500+e293220e3f8a3e59f79f6b0efffaa931
+
+2013-12-05  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server]
+	  - Added a new pairing method, ShogiServer::ExcludeUnratedPlayers,
+	    which filters out unrated players.
+	  - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
+	    Now it supports "set pairing_factory <function_name>"; it sets a
+	    factory function name generating a pairing method which will be
+	    used in a specific Floodgate game.
+	    ex. set pairing_factory floodgate_zyunisen 
+	  - Implemented conversion of move representation between CSA format
+	    and USI one.
+
+2013-11-24  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server]
+	  - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
+	    empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
+	  - shogi-server:
+	    - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
+	      ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
+	    - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
+	      any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
+	      and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
+	      and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
+	      already in use - bind(2)".
+	* [mk_game_results]
+	  - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
+	* mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
+	  - Removed files that are no longer used.
+
+2013-11-23  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [mk_rate]
+	  - gsl library may be provided as a gem
+	  - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
+	* test/TC_floodgate.rb
+	  - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
+
+2013-11-04  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [mk_rate]
+	  - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
+	    mk_rate-from-grep.
+	* [mk_game_results]
+	  - Flush after each output line.
+	* Rleased: Revision "20131104"
+
+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".
+
+2013-03-31  Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [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/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.

+	    The Buoy behavior is changed.
+	    + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
+	      position with the initial position and moves, instead of a

+	  - 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

+	    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 specify 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 floodgate
+	    group requires a corresponding 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
+	    default 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

+
+	* [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. Previously,
+	    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]
+	  - 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).

+
+2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server]
+	  - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
+	    been deprecated. 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 recommended 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 instead of the
+	    previous class: StartGame.
+	  - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:

+
+	* [mk_rate]
+	  - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a

+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 existing 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.yaml
+	    requires two steps as follows:
+	      % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
+	      % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
+	      or
+	      % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml

+
+2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+	* [shogi-server]
+	  - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
+	    play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
+	    sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
+	    players can play a new game with the game name.
+	    New commands:
+	    + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
+	      Set a new buoy game.
+	      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
+	      specific position that you want to start with.
+	      ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
+	      - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
+	      game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
+	      when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
+	      game is removed automatically by the server.
+	      ex. 10
+	    + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
+	      Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
+	      allowed to delete it.
+	      ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
+	      - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
+	    + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
+	      Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
+	      games.
