3 * [shogi-server] Allow to customize maximum lenght of a login indentifier
5 - The current maximum length of a login identifier is 32. Some
6 private uses require longer player names to distinguish each other
7 by specifying randomly generated tokens. It would of help to add a
8 new command line option --max-identifier to overwrite the default
10 * Build a Docker image for Shogi-server
12 - Build a Docker image
14 - Running a local shogi-server would look like
15 % docker run -p 4081:4081 -v `pwd`/logs:/logs shogi-server/shogi-server
17 2016-04-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
20 - Support Fischer time control.
21 * [shogi-server] Bump up the revision to 20160409.
23 2016-04-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
25 * [shogi-server] Support Fischer Time Control
27 - Fischer time control means that:
28 Before a player has made their move, a specified time increment is
29 added to their clock. Time can be accumulated, so if the player
30 moves within the delay period, their remaining time actually
32 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_clock)
33 - New syntax of game names:
34 An 'F' suffix denotes a Fisher time in seconds. For example,
35 "floodgate-600-10F" specifies
37 + Total allotted time is 600 seconds for each player
38 + 10-second increment before a player's move in a Fischer way
39 - The server now proposes game conditions upon a game start with
40 - "Protocol_Version 1.2"
41 - "Increment:<n>" for Fischer Time Control
42 - Kifu files can include the following comment for Fischer Time
45 * [shogi-server] Fix some lint warnings.
47 2015-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
49 * [shogi-server] Enhance capability of Floodgate configuration file
50 - New parameter: Max_Moves, defined in the CSA protocol
52 - New parameter: Least_Time_Per_Move, defined in the CSA protocol
53 ex. set Least_Time_Per_Move 0
54 - Proposed messages distributed to each player upon starting a new
55 game will include Max_Moves as well as Least_Time_Per_Move.
56 - CSA files produced by the server will include settings of
57 Max_Moves and Least_Time_Per_Move in comment lines as follows:
59 'Least_Time_Per_Move:0
60 - The official Shogi-server on wdoor.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp will
61 be running with different parameters, depending on game names.
62 a) Max_Moves will be 256 for floodgate-600-10 games;
64 b) Least_Time_Per_Move will be 0 for floodgate-600-10 games;
67 * [shogi-server] shogi_server/pairing.rb:
68 - LeastDiff attempts more trials, depending of a number of players
69 to be matched, top achieve more optimized matching combinations.
71 2015-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
73 * [shogi-server] shogi_server/time_clock.rb:
74 - A time consumed could be -1.
75 * The start time of a move is captured after sending a move to a
76 player of the next turn at the end of the giant lock
77 * The end time of the move is captured at the exact time when the
78 server receives it before the giant lock
79 Therefore, end_time < start_time is possible when a player returns a
81 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for reporting this issue.
84 2015-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
87 - Updated to investigate floodgate-600-10 games.
89 http://www.sgtpepper.net/hyspro/diary/20150214.html.
90 - Added a companion R script: histogram.R
92 2015-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
95 - shogi_server/login.rb: When players are logged in, log their
96 player_id if they have it.
98 2015-01-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
101 - Getting an absolute path of this file was wrong if it was a
102 symbolic link. This issue has been addressed.
104 - Links to details pages for players now use a relative path so
105 that it works on a testing site.
107 2015-01-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
110 - shogi-server, shogi_server/{command,game_result,player}.rb:
111 The change at 2014-10-13 was not worked as expected. Reworked.
112 A player, attempting to login with the current live player
113 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
116 2015-01-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
119 - shogi_server.rb: Follow an API change in a upstream class:
120 LogDevice.previous_period_end
122 2014-12-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
125 - When a non-rated player participates in Floodgate, the following exception
126 was thrown and a Floodgate game would not start:
127 undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
128 ["/home/shogi-server/www/x/shogi_server/pairing.rb:499:in `block
129 in calculate_diff_with_penalty'"
130 This issue has been resolved. Only players who have player ID
131 (i.e. those who log in with valid password) are now allowed to
132 participate in Floodgate as the spec web page
133 [http://shogi-server.sourceforge.jp/rating.html] describes.
135 2014-12-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
138 - Addressed Ruby incompatibility on ShogiServer::Usi::alphabetToDan.
139 It (and usiToCsa.rb) did not work with Ruby 1.9.3. This issue
141 Thanks to Hiraoka-san for debugging.
143 2014-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
145 * utils/eval_graph.rb:
146 - Gnuplot 4.6.6 drew evaluation-value lines with a dashed style.
147 This issue has now been addressed so that solid lines are used.
149 2014-11-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
154 2014-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
157 - Ruby 2.0.0 or later is recommended to use with shogi-server
158 since Ruby 1.8 reached its End-of-Life on the end of July, 2014.
160 - Addressed a warning of duplicated range in a regular expression.
162 2014-10-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
165 - A player, attempting to login with the current live player
166 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
168 - Kifu record files now includes rating scores of players at the
169 time when games start. Previously, for rating games, a record
170 file includes player IDs of both players with a line starting with
171 "'rating". Now it also shows rating scores for players who have
172 valid scores. The formats for black and white players are as
174 'black_rate:<player_id>:<score>
175 'white_rate:<player_id>:<score>
177 'rating:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790
178 'black_rate:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2763.0
179 'white_rate:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2345.0
181 2014-10-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
184 - New feature: max moves
185 - New command line option: --max-moves n
186 When a game with the n-th move played does not end, make the
187 game a draw (default 256 in compliance with CSA Protocol V1.2
188 or later). Setting 0 disables this feature for
189 CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
190 - Players will receive a new message, "#MAX_MOVES", upon an end
194 - A new log summary type, "max_moves", has been assigned for games
195 drawing with max moves.
196 'summary:max_moves:name_sente draw:name_gote draw
197 - Least time per move:
198 - New command line option: --least-time-per-move n
199 This option specifies a least time in second per move, which
200 is 0 second by default, meaning that a decimal
201 fraction of time for a move will be truncated in compliance
202 with CSA Protocol V1.2 or later.
203 Set 1 for CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
205 2014-07-19 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
208 - Added a new option, --abnormal-threshold n:
209 Games that end with the 'abnormal' status are counted in
210 win/lost games for the rating calculation if a game plays more
211 than n plies. Otherwise (or if n is zero), abnormal games are
212 counted out of rating games.
214 2014-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
217 - Released: Revision "20140107"
219 2013-12-29 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
222 - Previously, parameters in Floodgate time configuration file were
223 not applied to actual instances. This issue has been fixed.
225 2013-12-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
228 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Impose penalty on matches between
231 2013-12-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
234 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
235 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
236 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
237 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
238 already in use - bind(2)".
240 - Released: Revision "20131215"
242 2013-12-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
245 - Added a new program, bin/usiToCsa.rb, which is a bridge for a
246 USI engine to connect to the Shogi-server.
247 - bin/usiToCsa is a sample wrapper script.
249 2013-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
252 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb:
253 - Added a log message.
255 2013-12-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
258 - shogi-server/shogi_server/pairing.rb:
259 - Modified comment for LeastDiff match.
260 - Changed log messages and levels.
262 2013-12-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
265 - shogi_server/pairing.rb, player.rb:
266 Simplify estimated rate of unrated players (less memory).
267 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
268 Now it supports "set sacrifice <player_id>"; it sets a
269 sacrificed player for a specific Floodgate game.
270 ex. set sacrifice gps500+e293220e3f8a3e59f79f6b0efffaa931
272 2013-12-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
275 - Added a new pairing method, ShogiServer::ExcludeUnratedPlayers,
276 which filters out unrated players.
277 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
278 Now it supports "set pairing_factory <function_name>"; it sets a
279 factory function name generating a pairing method which will be
280 used in a specific Floodgate game.
281 ex. set pairing_factory floodgate_zyunisen
282 - Implemented conversion of move representation between CSA format
285 2013-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
288 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
289 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
291 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
292 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
293 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
294 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
295 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
296 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
297 already in use - bind(2)".
299 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
300 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
301 - Removed files that are no longer used.
303 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
306 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
307 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
308 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
309 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
311 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
314 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
317 - Flush after each output line.
318 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
320 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
323 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
324 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
325 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
327 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
330 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
331 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
332 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
333 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
334 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
335 miniute is regarded as zero.
336 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
337 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
339 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
342 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
343 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
344 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
346 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
348 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
351 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
352 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
353 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
354 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
355 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
356 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
358 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
361 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
362 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
363 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
364 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
365 where the previous position of the last one.
366 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
367 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
368 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
369 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
370 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
371 previous stable position.
372 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60
374 2012-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
377 - Backported a5c94012656902e73e00f46e7a4c7004b24d4578:

383 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
384 This issue has been fixed.
386 2012-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
389 - shogi_server/pairing.rb:
390 + There was a bug in the logic avoiding human-human match.
391 This issue has been fixed.
392 + Improved the logic avoiding human-human match. Human-human
393 matches will less likely happen.
395 2012-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
398 - Added shogi_server/compatible.rb, which implements compatible
399 methods and allows Ruby 1.8.7 to run the server.

418 running on. This issues has been fixed.
420 2012-01-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
423 - shogi_server/floodgate.rb: Generating next time around the new
424 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
425 This issue has been fixed.
427 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
430 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
431 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
432 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
433 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.

457 2010-10-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
460 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
461 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
463 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
466 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
467 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
468 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
469 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
471 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
474 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
475 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
476 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
477 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
478 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
480 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
481 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
482 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
484 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
487 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
488 The Buoy behavior is changed.
489 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
490 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
492 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
493 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
495 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
498 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
499 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
500 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
502 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
505 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
506 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
507 earlier than system time.
508 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
509 now returns an instance correctly.
510 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
511 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
512 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
513 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
515 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
518 - shogi_server/command.rb:
519 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
520 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
521 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
523 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
524 ShogiServer::Logger class.
525 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
526 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
527 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
529 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
531 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
534 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
535 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
536 This issue has been fixed.
538 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
541 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
542 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
543 instead of deep_copy().
545 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
548 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
550 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
551 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
552 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
555 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
558 - A new command line option:
559 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
560 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
563 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
564 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
565 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
567 - Floodgate time configuration file:
568 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
569 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
570 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
571 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
574 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
575 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
576 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
577 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with

598 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
599 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
601 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
604 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
605 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
607 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
610 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
611 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
612 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
613 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
614 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
616 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
619 - shogi_server/player.rb:
620 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
623 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
626 - shogi_server/command.rb:
627 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
628 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
629 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
631 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
634 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
635 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
636 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
637 impatiently sending a move twice.
639 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
642 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
643 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
644 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
647 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
650 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
651 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
652 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
653 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
654 "*" is not available.
664 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
667 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
668 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
669 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
670 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
671 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
672 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
673 appended to the record file.
674 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
675 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
677 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
679 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
681 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
684 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
685 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
687 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
690 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
691 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
692 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
693 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
696 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
699 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
701 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
702 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
703 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
704 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
705 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
706 previous class: StartGame.
707 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
708 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
710 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
713 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
715 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
718 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
719 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
720 ignored for the calculation.
722 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
725 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
726 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
727 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
728 Instruction to use the game result list file:
729 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
731 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
732 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
733 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
734 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
736 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
738 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
741 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
742 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
743 requires two steps as follows:
744 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
745 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
747 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
750 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
753 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
754 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
755 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
756 players can play a new game with the game name.
758 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
760 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
761 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
762 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
764 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
765 specific position that you want to start with.
766 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
767 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
768 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
769 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
770 game is removed automatically by the server.
772 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
773 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
774 allowed to delete it.
775 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
776 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
777 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
778 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
782 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
785 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
787 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
790 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
791 issue has been fixed.
794 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
797 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
798 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
799 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
802 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
805 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
806 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
807 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
808 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
811 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
814 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
815 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
818 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
820 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
821 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
824 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
827 - Improved performance.
829 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
832 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
833 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
834 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
836 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
838 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
839 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
841 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
844 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
845 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
846 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
847 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
849 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
852 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
853 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
855 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
858 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
859 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
861 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
862 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
863 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
864 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
865 time out. (Closes: #14469)
867 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
870 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
871 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
872 wdoor should be written by using this option.
874 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
877 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
880 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
881 incomplete records are skipped.
882 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
883 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
884 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
885 names in command line arguments.
887 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
890 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
893 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
894 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
896 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
899 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
902 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
904 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
907 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
908 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
909 records are taken care of when games are matched.
911 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
913 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
914 - Display time control graphs as well.
915 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
918 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
921 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
922 - Daemon mode is available.
923 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
924 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
925 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
927 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
930 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
931 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
933 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
936 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
937 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
938 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
939 of the game. (Closes #12821)
940 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
941 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
942 it might have prevented other players from processing until
943 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
945 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
948 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
949 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
952 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
955 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
957 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
960 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
961 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
963 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
966 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
967 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
968 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
969 sending a HUP signal to the server.
970 - The server log will be rotated daily.
972 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
975 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
976 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
977 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
978 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
979 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
981 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
984 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
986 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
989 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
990 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
992 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
993 method error in Pairing.
995 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
998 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
999 This bug has been fixed.
1000 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
1001 This issue has been fixed.
1003 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1006 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
1007 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
1008 This change will help users browse a file list.
1010 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1013 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
1016 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1019 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
1020 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
1023 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1026 - The half-life period is now configurable.
1027 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
1029 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1032 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
1034 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1037 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
1038 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
1040 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1043 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
1046 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1049 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
1050 issue has been fixed.
1051 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
1052 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
1053 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
1054 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
1057 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1060 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
1061 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
1062 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
1063 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
1065 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1067 * [util/players-graph.rb]
1068 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
1070 - Small PNG gets smaller.
1072 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1075 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
1076 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
1078 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1081 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
1082 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
1083 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
1085 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1088 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
1089 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
1090 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
1093 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1095 * [util/players-graph.rb]
1096 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
1098 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1101 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
1102 server. This issue has been fixed.
1104 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1107 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
1108 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
1109 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
1110 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
1113 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1116 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
1117 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
1118 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
1120 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
1121 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
1122 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
1124 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
1125 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
1127 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1130 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
1131 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
1133 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1136 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
1137 recently are not listed.
1139 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
1141 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1143 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
1144 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
1146 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
1148 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1150 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
1151 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
1152 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
1153 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
1154 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
1155 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
1156 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
1157 will be removed when the server shuts down.
1159 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1162 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
1163 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
1164 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
1165 day. This issue has been fixed.
1167 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1170 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
1171 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
1172 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
1174 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1177 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
1178 It may not work with lower verions.
1180 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1183 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
1184 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
1185 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
1187 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1190 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
1191 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
1192 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
1194 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
1195 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
1197 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1200 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
1201 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
1202 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
1203 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
1204 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
1205 - Show revision in a start up message.
1207 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1210 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
1211 send LF, the server sends back LF.
1212 - More care for socket errors.
1214 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1216 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
1217 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
1220 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1222 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
1224 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1227 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
1228 - Daemon mode is available.
