4 - Updated to investigate floodgate-600-10 games.
6 http://www.sgtpepper.net/hyspro/diary/20150214.html.
7 - Added a companion R script: histogram.R
9 2015-01-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
12 - Getting an absolute path of this file was wrong if it was a
13 symbolic link. This issue has been addressed.
15 - Links to details pages for players now use a relative path so
16 that it works on a testing site.
18 2015-01-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
21 - shogi-server, shogi_server/{command,game_result,player}.rb:
22 The change at 2014-10-13 was not worked as expected. Reworked.
23 A player, attempting to login with the current live player
24 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
27 2015-01-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
30 - shogi_server.rb: Follow an API change in a upstream class:
31 LogDevice.previous_period_end
33 2014-12-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
36 - When a non-rated player participates in Floodgate, the following exception
37 was thrown and a Floodgate game would not start:
38 undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
39 ["/home/shogi-server/www/x/shogi_server/pairing.rb:499:in `block
40 in calculate_diff_with_penalty'"
41 This issue has been resolved. Only players who have player ID
42 (i.e. those who log in with valid password) are now allowed to
43 participate in Floodgate as the spec web page
44 [http://shogi-server.sourceforge.jp/rating.html] describes.
46 2014-12-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
49 - Addressed Ruby incompatibility on ShogiServer::Usi::alphabetToDan.
50 It (and usiToCsa.rb) did not work with Ruby 1.9.3. This issue
52 Thanks to Hiraoka-san for debugging.
54 2014-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
56 * utils/eval_graph.rb:
57 - Gnuplot 4.6.6 drew evaluation-value lines with a dashed style.
58 This issue has now been addressed so that solid lines are used.
60 2014-11-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
65 2014-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
68 - Ruby 2.0.0 or later is recommended to use with shogi-server
69 since Ruby 1.8 reached its End-of-Life on the end of July, 2014.
71 - Addressed a warning of duplicated range in a regular expression.
73 2014-10-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
76 - A player, attempting to login with the current live player
77 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
79 - Kifu record files now includes rating scores of players at the
80 time when games start. Previously, for rating games, a record
81 file includes player IDs of both players with a line starting with
82 "'rating". Now it also shows rating scores for players who have
83 valid scores. The formats for black and white players are as
85 'black_rate:<player_id>:<score>
86 'white_rate:<player_id>:<score>
88 'rating:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790
89 'black_rate:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2763.0
90 'white_rate:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2345.0
92 2014-10-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
95 - New feature: max moves
96 - New command line option: --max-moves n
97 When a game with the n-th move played does not end, make the
98 game a draw (default 256 in compliance with CSA Protocol V1.2
99 or later). Setting 0 disables this feature for
100 CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
101 - Players will receive a new message, "#MAX_MOVES", upon an end
105 - A new log summary type, "max_moves", has been assigned for games
106 drawing with max moves.
107 'summary:max_moves:name_sente draw:name_gote draw
108 - Least time per move:
109 - New command line option: --least-time-per-move n
110 This option specifies a least time in second per move, which
111 is 0 second by default, meaning that a decimal
112 fraction of time for a move will be truncated in compliance
113 with CSA Protocol V1.2 or later.
114 Set 1 for CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
116 2014-07-19 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
119 - Added a new option, --abnormal-threshold n:
120 Games that end with the 'abnormal' status are counted in
121 win/lost games for the rating calculation if a game plays more
122 than n plies. Otherwise (or if n is zero), abnormal games are
123 counted out of rating games.
125 2014-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
128 - Released: Revision "20140107"
130 2013-12-29 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
133 - Previously, parameters in Floodgate time configuration file were
134 not applied to actual instances. This issue has been fixed.
136 2013-12-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
139 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Impose penalty on matches between
142 2013-12-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
145 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
146 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
147 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
148 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
149 already in use - bind(2)".
151 - Released: Revision "20131215"
153 2013-12-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
156 - Added a new program, bin/usiToCsa.rb, which is a bridge for a
157 USI engine to connect to the Shogi-server.
158 - bin/usiToCsa is a sample wrapper script.
160 2013-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
163 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb:
164 - Added a log message.
166 2013-12-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
169 - shogi-server/shogi_server/pairing.rb:
170 - Modified comment for LeastDiff match.
171 - Changed log messages and levels.
173 2013-12-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
176 - shogi_server/pairing.rb, player.rb:
177 Simplify estimated rate of unrated players (less memory).
178 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
179 Now it supports "set sacrifice <player_id>"; it sets a
180 sacrificed player for a specific Floodgate game.
181 ex. set sacrifice gps500+e293220e3f8a3e59f79f6b0efffaa931
183 2013-12-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
186 - Added a new pairing method, ShogiServer::ExcludeUnratedPlayers,
187 which filters out unrated players.
188 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
189 Now it supports "set pairing_factory <function_name>"; it sets a
190 factory function name generating a pairing method which will be
191 used in a specific Floodgate game.
192 ex. set pairing_factory floodgate_zyunisen
193 - Implemented conversion of move representation between CSA format
196 2013-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
199 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
200 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
202 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
203 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
204 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
205 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
206 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
207 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
208 already in use - bind(2)".
210 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
211 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
212 - Removed files that are no longer used.
214 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
217 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
218 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
219 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
220 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
222 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
225 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
228 - Flush after each output line.
229 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
231 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
234 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
235 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
236 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
238 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
241 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
242 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
243 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
244 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
245 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
246 miniute is regarded as zero.
247 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
248 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
250 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
253 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
254 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
255 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
257 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
259 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
262 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
263 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
264 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
265 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
266 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
267 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
269 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
272 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
273 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
274 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
275 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
276 where the previous position of the last one.
277 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
278 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
279 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
280 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
281 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
282 previous stable position.
283 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60
285 2012-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
288 - Backported a5c94012656902e73e00f46e7a4c7004b24d4578:
289 test/TC_logger.rb depeneded on a specific directory where it was
290 running on. This issues has been fixed.
291 - Backported 87d145bd1f1a14a33f5f6fbc78b63a1952f1ca90 and
292 2df8c798aeb7f0e77735e893fd1370c2c6f15c4d:
293 shogi_server/floodgate.rb: Generating next time around the new
294 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
295 This issue has been fixed.
297 2012-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
300 - shogi_server/pairing.rb:
301 + There was a bug in the logic avoiding human-human match.
302 This issue has been fixed.
303 + Improved the logic avoiding human-human match. Human-human
304 matches will less likely happen.
306 2012-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
309 - Added shogi_server/compatible.rb, which implements compatible
310 methods and allows Ruby 1.8.7 to run the server.
311 - test/TC_floodgate.rb failed with Ruby 1.8.7. This issue has
313 - test/TC_uchifuzume.rb did not run with Ruby 1.8.7. This issue
315 - test/TC_league.rb failed with Ruby 1.8.7. This issue has been

322 - Both Ruby 1.9.3 and 1.8.7 are supported.
323 * Renewed year of copyright notice in each file.
325 2012-01-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
328 - test/TC_logger.rb depeneded on a specific directory where it was
329 running on. This issues has been fixed.
331 2012-01-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
334 - shogi_server/floodgate.rb: Generating next time around the new
335 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
336 This issue has been fixed.
338 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
341 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
342 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
343 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
344 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.
345 * [mk_rate] [mk_game_results]
346 - Supports Ruby 1.9.3.
348 2011-12-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
351 - Support Ruby 1.9.3.
352 - Result of test/benchmark.rb

368 2010-10-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
371 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
372 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
374 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
377 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
378 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
379 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
380 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
382 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
385 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
386 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
387 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
388 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
389 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
391 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
392 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
393 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
395 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
398 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
399 The Buoy behavior is changed.
400 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
401 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
403 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
404 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
406 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
409 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
410 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
411 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
413 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
416 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
417 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
418 earlier than system time.
419 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
420 now returns an instance correctly.
421 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
422 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
423 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
424 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
426 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
429 - shogi_server/command.rb:
430 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
431 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
432 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
434 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
435 ShogiServer::Logger class.
436 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
437 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
438 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
440 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
442 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
445 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
446 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
447 This issue has been fixed.
449 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
452 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
453 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
454 instead of deep_copy().
456 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
459 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
461 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
462 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
463 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
466 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
469 - A new command line option:
470 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
471 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
474 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
475 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
476 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
478 - Floodgate time configuration file:
479 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
480 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
481 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
482 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
485 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
486 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
487 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
488 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
489 default time settings.

509 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
510 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
512 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
515 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
516 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
518 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
521 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
522 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
523 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
524 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
525 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
527 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
530 - shogi_server/player.rb:
531 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
534 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
537 - shogi_server/command.rb:
538 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
539 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
540 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
542 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
545 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
546 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
547 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
548 impatiently sending a move twice.
550 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
553 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
554 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
555 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
558 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
561 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
562 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
563 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
564 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
565 "*" is not available.
575 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
578 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
579 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
580 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
581 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
582 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
583 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
584 appended to the record file.
585 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
586 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
588 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
590 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
592 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
595 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
596 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
598 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
601 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
602 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
603 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
604 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
607 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
610 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
612 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
613 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
614 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
615 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
616 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
617 previous class: StartGame.
618 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
619 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
621 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
624 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
626 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
629 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
630 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
631 ignored for the calculation.
633 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
636 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
637 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
638 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
639 Instruction to use the game result list file:
640 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
642 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
643 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
644 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
645 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
647 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
649 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
652 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
653 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
654 requires two steps as follows:
655 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
656 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
658 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
661 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
664 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
665 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
666 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
667 players can play a new game with the game name.
669 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
671 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
672 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
673 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
675 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
676 specific position that you want to start with.
677 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
678 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
679 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
680 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
681 game is removed automatically by the server.
683 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
684 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
685 allowed to delete it.
686 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
687 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
688 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
689 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
693 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
696 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
698 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
701 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
702 issue has been fixed.
705 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
708 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
709 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
710 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
713 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
716 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
717 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
718 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
719 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
722 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
725 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
726 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
729 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
731 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
732 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
735 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
738 - Improved performance.
740 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
743 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
744 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
745 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
747 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
749 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
750 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
752 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
755 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
756 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
757 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
758 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
760 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
763 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
764 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
766 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
769 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
770 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
772 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
773 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
774 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
775 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
776 time out. (Closes: #14469)
778 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
781 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
782 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
783 wdoor should be written by using this option.
785 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
788 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
791 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
792 incomplete records are skipped.
793 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
794 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
795 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
796 names in command line arguments.
798 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
801 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
804 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
805 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
807 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
810 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
813 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
815 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
818 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
819 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
820 records are taken care of when games are matched.
822 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
824 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
825 - Display time control graphs as well.
826 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
829 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
832 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
833 - Daemon mode is available.
834 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
835 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
836 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
838 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
841 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
842 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
844 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
847 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
848 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
849 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
850 of the game. (Closes #12821)
851 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
852 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
853 it might have prevented other players from processing until
854 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
856 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
859 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
860 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
863 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
866 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
868 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
871 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
872 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
874 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
877 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
878 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
879 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
880 sending a HUP signal to the server.
881 - The server log will be rotated daily.
883 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
886 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
887 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
888 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
889 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
890 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
892 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
895 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
897 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
900 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
901 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
903 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
904 method error in Pairing.
906 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
909 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
910 This bug has been fixed.
911 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
912 This issue has been fixed.
914 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
917 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
918 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
919 This change will help users browse a file list.
921 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
924 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
927 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
930 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
931 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
934 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
937 - The half-life period is now configurable.
938 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
940 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
943 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
945 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
948 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
949 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
951 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
954 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
957 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
960 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
961 issue has been fixed.
962 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
963 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
964 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
965 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
968 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
971 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
972 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
973 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
974 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
976 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
978 * [util/players-graph.rb]
979 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
981 - Small PNG gets smaller.
983 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
986 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
987 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
989 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
992 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
993 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
994 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
996 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
999 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
1000 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
1001 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
1004 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1006 * [util/players-graph.rb]
1007 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
1009 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1012 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
1013 server. This issue has been fixed.
1015 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1018 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
1019 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
1020 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
1021 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
1024 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1027 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
1028 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
1029 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
1031 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
1032 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
1033 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
1035 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
1036 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
1038 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1041 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
1042 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
1044 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1047 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
1048 recently are not listed.
1050 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
1052 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1054 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
1055 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
1057 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
1059 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1061 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
1062 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
1063 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
1064 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
1065 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
1066 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
1067 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
1068 will be removed when the server shuts down.
1070 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1073 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
1074 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
1075 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
1076 day. This issue has been fixed.
1078 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1081 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
1082 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
1083 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
1085 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1088 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
1089 It may not work with lower verions.
1091 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1094 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
1095 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
1096 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
1098 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1101 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
1102 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
1103 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
1105 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
1106 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
1108 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1111 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
1112 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
1113 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
1114 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
1115 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
1116 - Show revision in a start up message.
1118 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1121 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
1122 send LF, the server sends back LF.
1123 - More care for socket errors.
1125 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1127 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
1128 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
1131 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1133 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
1135 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1138 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
1139 - Daemon mode is available.
1141 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1144 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
1145 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
1146 This issues has been fixed.
1148 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1151 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
1152 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
1154 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
1156 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1158 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
1159 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
1161 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1163 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
1164 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
1165 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
1166 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
1169 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1171 * [mk_rate][mk_html]
1172 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
1173 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
1174 least a game with other players.
1175 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
1176 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
1178 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1180 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
1182 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1184 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
1185 the calculation to complete.
1187 2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1189 * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password.
1191 2006-09-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1193 * [shogi-server] Refactored the login procedures.
1195 2006-09-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1197 * [mk_rate] It failed parse draw games. Now this bug has been fixed.
1198 * [mk_html] Add CSS to look better.
1200 2006-09-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1203 - Remove the trip in a password. Now the password is hashed.
1205 - Support @NORATE syntax in a name, which avoids the player is
1208 2006-09-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1211 - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#.
1213 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1216 - Re-design: trip is now a suffix of the password, not name.
1217 - Simplified the output of %%RATING.
1219 - Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same
1220 before-@-names are mapped to one.
1222 2006-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1224 * [mk_rate] Fix a bug. It solves the correct rate.
1226 2006-08-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1228 * [mk_rate] Re-design.
1229 - Correct the equations.
1230 - Apply deaccelerated Newton method.
1232 2006-08-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1235 - Fix a bug. Now it can see black/white players in a csa file.
