4 - Gnuplot 4.6.6 drew evaluation-value lines with a dashed style.
5 This issue has now been addressed so that solid lines are used.
7 2014-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
10 - Ruby 2.0.0 or later is recommended to use with shogi-server
11 since Ruby 1.8 reached its End-of-Life on the end of July, 2014.
13 - Addressed a warning of duplicated range in a regular expression.
15 2014-10-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
18 - A player, attempting to login with the current live player
19 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
21 - Kifu record files now includes rating scores of players at the
22 time when games start. Previously, for rating games, a record
23 file includes player IDs of both players with a line starting with
24 "'rating". Now it also shows rating scores for players who have
25 valid scores. The formats for black and white players are as
27 'black_rate:<player_id>:<score>
28 'white_rate:<player_id>:<score>
30 'rating:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790
31 'black_rate:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2763.0
32 'white_rate:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2345.0
34 2014-07-19 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
37 - Added a new option, --abnormal-threshold n:
38 Games that end with the 'abnormal' status are counted in
39 win/lost games for the rating calculation if a game plays more
40 than n plies. Otherwise (or if n is zero), abnormal games are
41 counted out of rating games.
43 2014-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
46 - Released: Revision "20140107"
48 2013-12-29 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
51 - Previously, parameters in Floodgate time configuration file were
52 not applied to actual instances. This issue has been fixed.
54 2013-12-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
57 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Impose penalty on matches between
60 2013-12-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
63 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
64 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
65 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
66 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
67 already in use - bind(2)".
69 - Released: Revision "20131215"
71 2013-12-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
74 - Added a new program, bin/usiToCsa.rb, which is a bridge for a
75 USI engine to connect to the Shogi-server.
76 - bin/usiToCsa is a sample wrapper script.
78 2013-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
81 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb:
82 - Added a log message.
84 2013-12-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
87 - shogi-server/shogi_server/pairing.rb:
88 - Modified comment for LeastDiff match.
89 - Changed log messages and levels.
91 2013-12-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
94 - shogi_server/pairing.rb, player.rb:
95 Simplify estimated rate of unrated players (less memory).
96 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
97 Now it supports "set sacrifice <player_id>"; it sets a
98 sacrificed player for a specific Floodgate game.
99 ex. set sacrifice gps500+e293220e3f8a3e59f79f6b0efffaa931
101 2013-12-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
104 - Added a new pairing method, ShogiServer::ExcludeUnratedPlayers,
105 which filters out unrated players.
106 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
107 Now it supports "set pairing_factory <function_name>"; it sets a
108 factory function name generating a pairing method which will be
109 used in a specific Floodgate game.
110 ex. set pairing_factory floodgate_zyunisen
111 - Implemented conversion of move representation between CSA format
114 2013-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
117 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
118 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
120 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
121 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
122 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
123 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
124 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
125 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
126 already in use - bind(2)".
128 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
129 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
130 - Removed files that are no longer used.
132 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
135 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
136 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
137 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
138 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
140 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
143 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
146 - Flush after each output line.
147 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
149 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
152 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
153 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
154 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
156 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
159 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
160 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
161 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
162 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
163 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
164 miniute is regarded as zero.
165 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
166 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
168 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
171 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
172 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
173 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
175 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
177 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
180 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
181 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
182 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
183 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
184 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
185 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
187 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
190 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
191 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
192 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
193 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
194 where the previous position of the last one.
195 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
196 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
197 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
198 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
199 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
200 previous stable position.
201 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60
203 2012-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
206 - Backported a5c94012656902e73e00f46e7a4c7004b24d4578:

213 This issue has been fixed.
215 2012-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
218 - shogi_server/pairing.rb:
219 + There was a bug in the logic avoiding human-human match.
220 This issue has been fixed.
221 + Improved the logic avoiding human-human match. Human-human
222 matches will less likely happen.
224 2012-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
227 - Added shogi_server/compatible.rb, which implements compatible
228 methods and allows Ruby 1.8.7 to run the server.

252 - shogi_server/floodgate.rb: Generating next time around the new
253 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
254 This issue has been fixed.
256 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
259 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
260 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
261 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
262 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.
263 * [mk_rate] [mk_game_results]
264 - Supports Ruby 1.9.3.
266 2011-12-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>

289 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
290 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
292 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
295 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
296 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
297 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
298 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
300 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
303 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
304 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
305 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
306 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
307 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
309 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
310 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
311 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
313 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
316 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
317 The Buoy behavior is changed.
318 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
319 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
321 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
322 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
324 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
327 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
328 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
329 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
331 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
334 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
335 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
336 earlier than system time.
337 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
338 now returns an instance correctly.
339 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
340 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
341 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
342 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
344 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
347 - shogi_server/command.rb:
348 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
349 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
350 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
352 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
353 ShogiServer::Logger class.
354 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
355 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
356 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
358 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
360 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
363 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
364 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
365 This issue has been fixed.
367 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
370 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
371 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
372 instead of deep_copy().
374 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
377 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
379 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
380 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
381 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
384 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
387 - A new command line option:
388 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
389 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
392 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
393 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
394 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
396 - Floodgate time configuration file:
397 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
398 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
399 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
400 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
403 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
404 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
405 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
406 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
407 default time settings.

427 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
428 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
430 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
433 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
434 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
436 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
439 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
440 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
441 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
442 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
443 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
445 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
448 - shogi_server/player.rb:
449 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
452 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
455 - shogi_server/command.rb:
456 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
457 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
458 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
460 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
463 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
464 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
465 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
466 impatiently sending a move twice.
468 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
471 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
472 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
473 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
476 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
479 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
480 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
481 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
482 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
483 "*" is not available.
493 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
496 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
497 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
498 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
499 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
500 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
501 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
502 appended to the record file.
503 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
504 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
506 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
508 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
510 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
513 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
514 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
516 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
519 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
520 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
521 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
522 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
525 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
528 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
530 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
531 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
532 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
533 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
534 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
535 previous class: StartGame.
536 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
537 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
539 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
542 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
544 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
547 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
548 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
549 ignored for the calculation.
551 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
554 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
555 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
556 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
557 Instruction to use the game result list file:
558 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
560 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
561 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
562 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
563 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
565 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
567 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
570 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
571 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
572 requires two steps as follows:
573 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
574 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
576 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
579 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
582 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
583 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
584 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
585 players can play a new game with the game name.
587 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
589 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
590 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
591 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
593 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
594 specific position that you want to start with.
595 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
596 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
597 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
598 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
599 game is removed automatically by the server.
601 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
602 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
603 allowed to delete it.
604 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
605 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
606 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
607 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
611 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
614 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
616 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
619 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
620 issue has been fixed.
623 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
626 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
627 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
628 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
631 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
634 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
635 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
636 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
637 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
640 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
643 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
644 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
647 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
649 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
650 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
653 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
656 - Improved performance.
658 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
661 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
662 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
663 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
665 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
667 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
668 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
670 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
673 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
674 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
675 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
676 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
678 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
681 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
682 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
684 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
687 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
688 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
690 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
691 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
692 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
693 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
694 time out. (Closes: #14469)
696 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
699 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
700 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
701 wdoor should be written by using this option.
703 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
706 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
709 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
710 incomplete records are skipped.
711 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
712 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
713 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
714 names in command line arguments.
716 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
719 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
722 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
723 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
725 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
728 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
731 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
733 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
736 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
737 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
738 records are taken care of when games are matched.
740 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
742 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
743 - Display time control graphs as well.
744 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
747 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
750 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
751 - Daemon mode is available.
752 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
753 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
754 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
756 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
759 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
760 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
762 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
765 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
766 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
767 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
768 of the game. (Closes #12821)
769 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
770 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
771 it might have prevented other players from processing until
772 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
774 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
777 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
778 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
781 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
784 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
786 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
789 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
790 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
792 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
795 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
796 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
797 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
798 sending a HUP signal to the server.
799 - The server log will be rotated daily.
801 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
804 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
805 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
806 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
807 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
808 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
810 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
813 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
815 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
818 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
819 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
821 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
822 method error in Pairing.
824 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
827 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
828 This bug has been fixed.
829 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
830 This issue has been fixed.
832 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
835 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
836 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
837 This change will help users browse a file list.
839 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
842 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
845 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
848 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
849 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
852 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
855 - The half-life period is now configurable.
856 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
858 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
861 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
863 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
866 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
867 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
869 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
872 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
875 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
878 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
879 issue has been fixed.
880 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
881 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
882 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
883 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
886 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
889 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
890 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
891 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
892 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
894 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
896 * [util/players-graph.rb]
897 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
899 - Small PNG gets smaller.
901 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
904 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
905 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
907 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
910 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
911 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
912 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
914 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
917 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
918 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
919 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
922 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
924 * [util/players-graph.rb]
925 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
927 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
930 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
931 server. This issue has been fixed.
933 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
936 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
937 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
938 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
939 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
942 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
945 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
946 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
947 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
949 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
950 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
951 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
953 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
954 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
956 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
959 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
960 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
962 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
965 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
966 recently are not listed.
968 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
970 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
972 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
973 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
975 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
977 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
979 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
980 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
981 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
982 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
983 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
984 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
985 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
986 will be removed when the server shuts down.
988 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
991 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
992 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
993 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
994 day. This issue has been fixed.
996 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
999 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
1000 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
1001 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
1003 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1006 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
1007 It may not work with lower verions.
1009 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1012 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
1013 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
1014 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
1016 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1019 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
1020 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
1021 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
1023 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
1024 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
1026 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1029 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
1030 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
1031 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
1032 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
1033 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
1034 - Show revision in a start up message.
1036 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1039 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
1040 send LF, the server sends back LF.
1041 - More care for socket errors.
1043 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1045 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
1046 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
1049 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1051 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
1053 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1056 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
1057 - Daemon mode is available.
1059 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1062 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
1063 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
1064 This issues has been fixed.
1066 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1069 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
1070 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
1072 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
1074 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1076 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
1077 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
1079 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1081 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
1082 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
1083 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
1084 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
1087 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1089 * [mk_rate][mk_html]
1090 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
1091 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
1092 least a game with other players.
1093 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
1094 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
1096 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1098 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
1100 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1102 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
1103 the calculation to complete.
1105 2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1107 * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password.
1109 2006-09-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1111 * [shogi-server] Refactored the login procedures.
1113 2006-09-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1115 * [mk_rate] It failed parse draw games. Now this bug has been fixed.
1116 * [mk_html] Add CSS to look better.
1118 2006-09-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1121 - Remove the trip in a password. Now the password is hashed.
1123 - Support @NORATE syntax in a name, which avoids the player is
1126 2006-09-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1129 - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#.
1131 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1134 - Re-design: trip is now a suffix of the password, not name.
1135 - Simplified the output of %%RATING.
1137 - Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same
1138 before-@-names are mapped to one.
1140 2006-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1142 * [mk_rate] Fix a bug. It solves the correct rate.
1144 2006-08-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1146 * [mk_rate] Re-design.
1147 - Correct the equations.
1148 - Apply deaccelerated Newton method.
1150 2006-08-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1153 - Fix a bug. Now it can see black/white players in a csa file.
1155 - Add a space in the output of %%RATING.
1157 2006-08-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1159 * [mk_rate] Record numbers of win/loss games.
1160 * Add mk_html, which generates html from players.yaml
1161 * Fix test/test_board.rb. Now it works.
1162 * Add test/TC_ALL.rb to run all test cases.
1163 * [shogi-server] Fix a bug. Now it can show %%RATING even if it has no

1176 * Change the player id, which is now <name>+<hash_of_the_trip>.
1177 * Fix the max length of the login name with a trip.
1178 * Add a comment line about the rated game status in the CSA file.
1179 * Remove the rating system, which will be calculated by another
1182 2006-08-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1184 * Add a command, %%RATING, to show a ranking sorted by rates.
1186 2006-07-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
