17 - Both Ruby 1.9.3 and 1.8.7 are supported.
19 2012-01-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
22 - test/TC_logger.rb depeneded on a specific directory where it was
23 running on. This issues has been fixed.
25 2012-01-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
28 - shogi_server/floodgate.rb: Generating next time around the new
29 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
30 This issue has been fixed.
32 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
35 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
36 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
37 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
38 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.
39 * [mk_rate] [mk_game_results]
40 - Supports Ruby 1.9.3.
42 2011-12-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
46 - Result of test/benchmark.rb
48 - CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+
51 - ruby 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [x86_64-linux]
52 - ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30 revision 33570) [x86_64-linux]

62 2010-10-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
65 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
66 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
68 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
71 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
72 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
73 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
74 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
76 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
79 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
80 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
81 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
82 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
83 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
85 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
86 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
87 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
89 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
92 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
93 The Buoy behavior is changed.
94 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
95 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
97 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
98 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
100 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
103 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
104 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
105 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
107 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
110 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
111 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
112 earlier than system time.
113 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
114 now returns an instance correctly.
115 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
116 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
117 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
118 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
120 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
123 - shogi_server/command.rb:
124 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
125 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
126 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
128 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
129 ShogiServer::Logger class.
130 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
131 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
132 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
134 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
136 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
139 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
140 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
141 This issue has been fixed.
143 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
146 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
147 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
148 instead of deep_copy().
150 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
153 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
155 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
156 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
157 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
160 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
163 - A new command line option:
164 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
165 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
168 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
169 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
170 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
172 - Floodgate time configuration file:
173 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
174 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
175 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
176 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
179 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
180 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
181 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
182 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
183 default time settings.

203 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
204 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
206 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
209 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
210 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
212 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
215 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
216 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
217 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
218 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
219 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
221 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
224 - shogi_server/player.rb:
225 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
228 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
231 - shogi_server/command.rb:
232 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
233 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
234 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
236 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
239 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
240 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
241 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
242 impatiently sending a move twice.
244 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
247 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
248 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
249 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
252 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
255 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
256 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
257 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
258 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
259 "*" is not available.
269 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
272 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
273 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
274 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
275 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
276 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
277 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
278 appended to the record file.
279 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
280 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
282 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
284 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
286 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
289 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
290 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
292 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
295 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
296 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
297 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
298 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
301 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
304 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
306 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
307 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
308 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
309 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
310 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
311 previous class: StartGame.
312 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
313 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
315 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
318 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
320 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
323 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
324 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
325 ignored for the calculation.
327 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
330 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
331 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
332 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
333 Instruction to use the game result list file:
334 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
336 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
337 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
338 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
339 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
341 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
343 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
346 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
347 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
348 requires two steps as follows:
349 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
350 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
352 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
355 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
358 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
359 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
360 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
361 players can play a new game with the game name.
363 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
365 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
366 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
367 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
369 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
370 specific position that you want to start with.
371 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
372 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
373 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
374 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
375 game is removed automatically by the server.
377 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
378 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
379 allowed to delete it.
380 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
381 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
382 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
383 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
387 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
390 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
392 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
395 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
396 issue has been fixed.
399 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
402 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
403 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
404 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
407 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
410 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
411 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
412 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
413 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
416 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
419 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
420 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
423 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
425 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
426 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
429 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
432 - Improved performance.
434 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
437 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
438 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
439 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
441 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
443 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
444 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
446 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
449 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
450 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
451 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
452 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
454 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
457 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
458 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
460 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
463 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
464 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
466 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
467 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
468 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
469 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
470 time out. (Closes: #14469)
472 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
475 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
476 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
477 wdoor should be written by using this option.
479 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
482 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
485 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
486 incomplete records are skipped.
487 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
488 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
489 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
490 names in command line arguments.
492 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
495 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
498 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
499 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
501 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
504 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
507 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
509 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
512 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
513 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
514 records are taken care of when games are matched.
516 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
518 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
519 - Display time control graphs as well.
520 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
523 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
526 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
527 - Daemon mode is available.
528 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
529 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
530 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
532 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
535 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
536 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
538 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
541 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
542 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
543 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
544 of the game. (Closes #12821)
545 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
546 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
547 it might have prevented other players from processing until
548 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
550 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
553 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
554 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
557 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
560 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
562 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
565 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
566 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
568 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
571 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
572 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
573 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
574 sending a HUP signal to the server.
575 - The server log will be rotated daily.
577 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
580 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
581 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
582 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
583 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
584 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
586 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
589 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
591 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
594 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
595 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
597 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
598 method error in Pairing.
600 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
603 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
604 This bug has been fixed.
605 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
606 This issue has been fixed.
608 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
611 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
612 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
613 This change will help users browse a file list.
615 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
618 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
621 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
624 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
625 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
628 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
631 - The half-life period is now configurable.
632 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
634 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
637 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
639 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
642 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
643 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.

648 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been

654 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
655 issue has been fixed.
656 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
657 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
658 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
659 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
662 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
665 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
666 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
667 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
668 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.

672 * [util/players-graph.rb]
673 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
675 - Small PNG gets smaller.
677 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
680 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
681 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
683 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
686 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
687 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
688 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
690 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
693 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
694 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
695 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
698 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
700 * [util/players-graph.rb]
701 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
703 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
706 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
707 server. This issue has been fixed.
709 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
712 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
713 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
714 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
715 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
718 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
721 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
722 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
723 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
725 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
726 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
727 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
729 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
730 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
732 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
735 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
736 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
738 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
741 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
742 recently are not listed.
744 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
746 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
748 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
749 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
751 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
753 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
755 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
756 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
757 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
758 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
759 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
760 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
761 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
762 will be removed when the server shuts down.
764 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
767 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
768 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
769 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
770 day. This issue has been fixed.
772 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
775 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
776 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
777 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
779 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
782 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
783 It may not work with lower verions.
785 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
788 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
789 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
790 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
792 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
795 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
796 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
797 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
799 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
800 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
802 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
805 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
806 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
807 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
808 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
809 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
810 - Show revision in a start up message.
812 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
815 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
816 send LF, the server sends back LF.
817 - More care for socket errors.
819 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
821 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
822 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
825 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
827 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
829 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
832 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
833 - Daemon mode is available.
835 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
838 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
839 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
840 This issues has been fixed.

845 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
846 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
848 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
850 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
852 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
853 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
855 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
857 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
858 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
859 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
860 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
863 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
866 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
867 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
868 least a game with other players.
869 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
870 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
872 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
874 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
876 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
878 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
879 the calculation to complete.

899 - Support @NORATE syntax in a name, which avoids the player is
902 2006-09-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
905 - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#.
907 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
910 - Re-design: trip is now a suffix of the password, not name.
911 - Simplified the output of %%RATING.
913 - Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same
914 before-@-names are mapped to one.
916 2006-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
