4 - Getting an absolute path of this file was wrong if it was a
5 symbolic link. This issue has been addressed.
7 - Links to details pages for players now use a relative path so
8 that it works on a testing site.
10 2015-01-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
13 - shogi-server, shogi_server/{command,game_result,player}.rb:
14 The change at 2014-10-13 was not worked as expected. Reworked.
15 A player, attempting to login with the current live player
16 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
19 2015-01-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
22 - shogi_server.rb: Follow an API change in a upstream class:
23 LogDevice.previous_period_end
25 2014-12-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
28 - When a non-rated player participates in Floodgate, the following exception
29 was thrown and a Floodgate game would not start:
30 undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
31 ["/home/shogi-server/www/x/shogi_server/pairing.rb:499:in `block
32 in calculate_diff_with_penalty'"
33 This issue has been resolved. Only players who have player ID
34 (i.e. those who log in with valid password) are now allowed to
35 participate in Floodgate as the spec web page
36 [http://shogi-server.sourceforge.jp/rating.html] describes.
38 2014-12-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
41 - Addressed Ruby incompatibility on ShogiServer::Usi::alphabetToDan.
42 It (and usiToCsa.rb) did not work with Ruby 1.9.3. This issue
44 Thanks to Hiraoka-san for debugging.
46 2014-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
48 * utils/eval_graph.rb:
49 - Gnuplot 4.6.6 drew evaluation-value lines with a dashed style.
50 This issue has now been addressed so that solid lines are used.
52 2014-11-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
57 2014-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
60 - Ruby 2.0.0 or later is recommended to use with shogi-server
61 since Ruby 1.8 reached its End-of-Life on the end of July, 2014.
63 - Addressed a warning of duplicated range in a regular expression.
65 2014-10-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
68 - A player, attempting to login with the current live player
69 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
71 - Kifu record files now includes rating scores of players at the
72 time when games start. Previously, for rating games, a record
73 file includes player IDs of both players with a line starting with
74 "'rating". Now it also shows rating scores for players who have
75 valid scores. The formats for black and white players are as
77 'black_rate:<player_id>:<score>
78 'white_rate:<player_id>:<score>
80 'rating:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790

84 2014-10-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
87 - New feature: max moves
88 - New command line option: --max-moves n
89 When a game with the n-th move played does not end, make the
90 game a draw (default 256 in compliance with CSA Protocol V1.2
91 or later). Setting 0 disables this feature for
92 CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
93 - Players will receive a new message, "#MAX_MOVES", upon an end
97 - A new log summary type, "max_moves", has been assigned for games
98 drawing with max moves.
99 'summary:max_moves:name_sente draw:name_gote draw
100 - Least time per move:
101 - New command line option: --least-time-per-move n
102 This option specifies a least time in second per move, which
103 is 0 second by default, meaning that a decimal
104 fraction of time for a move will be truncated in compliance
105 with CSA Protocol V1.2 or later.
106 Set 1 for CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
108 2014-07-19 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
111 - Added a new option, --abnormal-threshold n:
112 Games that end with the 'abnormal' status are counted in
113 win/lost games for the rating calculation if a game plays more
114 than n plies. Otherwise (or if n is zero), abnormal games are
115 counted out of rating games.
117 2014-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
120 - Released: Revision "20140107"
122 2013-12-29 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
125 - Previously, parameters in Floodgate time configuration file were
126 not applied to actual instances. This issue has been fixed.
128 2013-12-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
131 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Impose penalty on matches between
134 2013-12-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
137 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
138 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
139 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
140 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
141 already in use - bind(2)".
143 - Released: Revision "20131215"
145 2013-12-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
148 - Added a new program, bin/usiToCsa.rb, which is a bridge for a
149 USI engine to connect to the Shogi-server.
150 - bin/usiToCsa is a sample wrapper script.
152 2013-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
155 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb:
156 - Added a log message.
158 2013-12-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
161 - shogi-server/shogi_server/pairing.rb:
162 - Modified comment for LeastDiff match.
163 - Changed log messages and levels.
165 2013-12-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
168 - shogi_server/pairing.rb, player.rb:
169 Simplify estimated rate of unrated players (less memory).
170 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
171 Now it supports "set sacrifice <player_id>"; it sets a
172 sacrificed player for a specific Floodgate game.
173 ex. set sacrifice gps500+e293220e3f8a3e59f79f6b0efffaa931
175 2013-12-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
178 - Added a new pairing method, ShogiServer::ExcludeUnratedPlayers,
179 which filters out unrated players.
180 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
181 Now it supports "set pairing_factory <function_name>"; it sets a
182 factory function name generating a pairing method which will be
183 used in a specific Floodgate game.
184 ex. set pairing_factory floodgate_zyunisen
185 - Implemented conversion of move representation between CSA format
188 2013-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
191 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
192 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
194 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
195 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
196 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
197 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
198 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
199 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
200 already in use - bind(2)".
202 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
203 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
204 - Removed files that are no longer used.
206 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
209 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
210 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
211 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
212 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
214 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
217 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
220 - Flush after each output line.
221 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
223 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
226 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
227 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
228 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
230 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
233 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
234 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
235 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
236 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
237 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
238 miniute is regarded as zero.
239 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
240 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
242 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
245 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
246 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
247 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
249 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
251 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
254 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
255 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
256 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
257 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
258 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
259 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
261 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
264 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
265 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
266 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
267 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
268 where the previous position of the last one.
269 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
270 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
271 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
272 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
273 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
274 previous stable position.
275 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60
277 2012-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
280 - Backported a5c94012656902e73e00f46e7a4c7004b24d4578:

287 This issue has been fixed.
289 2012-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
292 - shogi_server/pairing.rb:
293 + There was a bug in the logic avoiding human-human match.
294 This issue has been fixed.
295 + Improved the logic avoiding human-human match. Human-human
296 matches will less likely happen.
298 2012-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
301 - Added shogi_server/compatible.rb, which implements compatible
302 methods and allows Ruby 1.8.7 to run the server.
303 - test/TC_floodgate.rb failed with Ruby 1.8.7. This issue has

321 running on. This issues has been fixed.
323 2012-01-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
326 - shogi_server/floodgate.rb: Generating next time around the new
327 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
328 This issue has been fixed.
330 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
333 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
334 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
335 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
336 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.
337 * [mk_rate] [mk_game_results]
338 - Supports Ruby 1.9.3.
340 2011-12-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>

363 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
364 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
366 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
369 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
370 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
371 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
372 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
374 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
377 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
378 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
379 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
380 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
381 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
383 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
384 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
385 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
387 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
390 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
391 The Buoy behavior is changed.
392 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
393 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
395 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
396 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
398 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
401 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
402 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
403 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
405 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
408 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
409 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
410 earlier than system time.
411 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
412 now returns an instance correctly.
413 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
414 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
415 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
416 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
418 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
421 - shogi_server/command.rb:
422 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
423 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
424 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
426 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
427 ShogiServer::Logger class.
428 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
429 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
430 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
432 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
434 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
437 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
438 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
439 This issue has been fixed.
441 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
444 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
445 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
446 instead of deep_copy().
448 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
451 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
453 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
454 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
455 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
458 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
461 - A new command line option:
462 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
463 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
466 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
467 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
468 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
470 - Floodgate time configuration file:
471 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
472 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
473 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
474 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
477 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
478 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
479 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
480 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
481 default time settings.

501 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
502 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
504 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
507 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
508 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
510 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
513 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
514 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
515 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
516 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
517 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
519 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
522 - shogi_server/player.rb:
523 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
526 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
529 - shogi_server/command.rb:
530 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
531 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
532 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
534 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
537 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
538 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
539 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
540 impatiently sending a move twice.
542 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
545 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
546 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
547 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
550 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
553 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
554 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
555 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
556 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
557 "*" is not available.
567 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
570 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
571 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
572 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
573 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
574 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
575 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
576 appended to the record file.
577 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
578 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
580 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
582 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
584 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
587 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
588 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
590 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
593 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
594 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
595 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
596 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top

602 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
604 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
605 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
606 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
607 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
608 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
609 previous class: StartGame.
610 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
611 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
613 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
616 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
618 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
621 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
622 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
623 ignored for the calculation.
625 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
628 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
629 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
630 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
631 Instruction to use the game result list file:
632 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
634 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
635 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
636 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
637 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
639 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
641 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
644 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
645 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
646 requires two steps as follows:
647 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
648 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
650 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
653 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
656 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
657 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
658 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
659 players can play a new game with the game name.
661 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
663 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
664 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
665 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
667 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
668 specific position that you want to start with.
669 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
670 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
671 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
672 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
673 game is removed automatically by the server.
675 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
676 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
677 allowed to delete it.
678 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
679 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
680 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
681 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
685 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
688 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
690 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
693 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
694 issue has been fixed.
697 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
700 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
701 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
702 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
705 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
708 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
709 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
710 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
711 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
714 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
717 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
718 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
721 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
723 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
724 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
727 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
730 - Improved performance.
732 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
735 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
736 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
737 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
739 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
741 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
742 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
744 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
747 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
748 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
749 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
750 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
752 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
755 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
756 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
758 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
761 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
762 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
764 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
765 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
766 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
767 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
768 time out. (Closes: #14469)
770 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
773 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
774 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
775 wdoor should be written by using this option.
777 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
780 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
783 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
784 incomplete records are skipped.
785 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
786 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
787 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
788 names in command line arguments.
790 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
793 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
796 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
797 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
799 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
802 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
805 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
807 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
810 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
811 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
812 records are taken care of when games are matched.
814 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
816 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
817 - Display time control graphs as well.
818 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
821 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
824 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
825 - Daemon mode is available.
826 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
827 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
828 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
830 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
833 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
834 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
836 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
839 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
840 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
841 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
842 of the game. (Closes #12821)
843 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
844 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
845 it might have prevented other players from processing until
846 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
848 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
851 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
852 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
855 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
858 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
860 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
863 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
864 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
866 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
869 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
870 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
871 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
872 sending a HUP signal to the server.
873 - The server log will be rotated daily.
875 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
878 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
879 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
880 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
881 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
882 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
884 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
887 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
889 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
892 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
893 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
895 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
896 method error in Pairing.
898 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
901 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
902 This bug has been fixed.
903 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
904 This issue has been fixed.
906 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
909 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
910 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
911 This change will help users browse a file list.
913 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
916 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
919 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
922 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
923 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
926 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
929 - The half-life period is now configurable.
930 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
932 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
935 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
937 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
940 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
941 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
943 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
946 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
949 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
952 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
953 issue has been fixed.
954 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
955 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
956 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
957 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
960 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
963 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
964 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
965 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
966 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
968 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
970 * [util/players-graph.rb]
971 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
973 - Small PNG gets smaller.
975 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
978 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
979 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
981 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
984 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
985 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
986 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
988 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
991 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
992 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
993 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
996 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
998 * [util/players-graph.rb]
999 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
1001 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1004 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
1005 server. This issue has been fixed.
1007 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1010 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
1011 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
1012 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
1013 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
1016 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1019 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
1020 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
1021 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
1023 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
1024 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
1025 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
1027 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
1028 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
1030 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1033 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
1034 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
1036 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1039 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
1040 recently are not listed.
1042 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
1044 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1046 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
1047 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
1049 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
1051 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1053 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
1054 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
1055 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
1056 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
1057 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
1058 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
1059 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
1060 will be removed when the server shuts down.
1062 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1065 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
1066 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
1067 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
1068 day. This issue has been fixed.
1070 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1073 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
1074 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
1075 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
1077 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1080 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
1081 It may not work with lower verions.
1083 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1086 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
1087 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
1088 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
1090 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1093 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
1094 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
1095 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
1097 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
1098 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
1100 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1103 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
1104 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
1105 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
1106 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
1107 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
1108 - Show revision in a start up message.
1110 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1113 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
1114 send LF, the server sends back LF.
1115 - More care for socket errors.
1117 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1119 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
1120 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
1123 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1125 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
1127 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1130 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
1131 - Daemon mode is available.
1133 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1136 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
1137 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
1138 This issues has been fixed.
1140 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1143 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
1144 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
1146 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
1148 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1150 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
1151 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
1153 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1155 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
1156 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
1157 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
1158 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
1161 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1163 * [mk_rate][mk_html]
1164 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
1165 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
1166 least a game with other players.
1167 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
1168 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
1170 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1172 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
1174 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1176 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
1177 the calculation to complete.
1179 2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1181 * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password.
1183 2006-09-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1185 * [shogi-server] Refactored the login procedures.
1187 2006-09-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1189 * [mk_rate] It failed parse draw games. Now this bug has been fixed.
1190 * [mk_html] Add CSS to look better.
1192 2006-09-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1195 - Remove the trip in a password. Now the password is hashed.
1197 - Support @NORATE syntax in a name, which avoids the player is
1200 2006-09-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1203 - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#.
1205 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1208 - Re-design: trip is now a suffix of the password, not name.
1209 - Simplified the output of %%RATING.
1211 - Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same
1212 before-@-names are mapped to one.
1214 2006-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1216 * [mk_rate] Fix a bug. It solves the correct rate.
1218 2006-08-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1220 * [mk_rate] Re-design.
1221 - Correct the equations.
1222 - Apply deaccelerated Newton method.
1224 2006-08-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1227 - Fix a bug. Now it can see black/white players in a csa file.
1229 - Add a space in the output of %%RATING.
1231 2006-08-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1233 * [mk_rate] Record numbers of win/loss games.
