+
+ * [mk_rate]
+ - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
+ base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
+ ignored for the calculation.
+
+2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
+ which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
+ not exist, the server will create one automatically.
+ Instruction to use the game result list file:
+ 1. Make a list of game results from exisiting CSA files with
+ mk_game_results
+ % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
+ 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
+ '00LIST' when the game finishes.
+ 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
+ players.
+ % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
+
+2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [mk_rate]
+ - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
+ a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
+ requires two steps as follows:
+ % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
+ % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
+ or
+ % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
+ (Closes: #19454)

+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
+ play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
+ sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
+ players can play a new game with the game name.
+ New commands:
+ + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
+ Set a new buoy game.
+ ex. %%SETBUOYGAME buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
+ ex. %%SETBUOYGAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
+ - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
+ ex. buoy_foo-900-0
+ - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
+ spcific position that you want to start with.
+ ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
+ - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
+ game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
+ when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
+ game is removed automatically by the server.
+ ex. 10
+ + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
+ Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
+ allowed to delete it.
+ ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
+ - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
+ + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
+ Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
+ games.

+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
+
+2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - An emtpy floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
+ issue has been fixed.
+ (Closes: #15124)
+
+2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
+ a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
+ start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
+ (Closes: #14425)
+
+2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
+ logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
+ from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
+ the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
+ (Closes: #17335)
+
+2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
+ Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.

+
+2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]

+ by the #14635 bug.
+
+2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [csa-file-filter]
+ - Improved performance.
+
+2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
+ move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
+ been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
+
+2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
+ - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
+
+2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
+ format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
+ - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
+ was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
+
+2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
+ checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
+
+2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
+ constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
+ has been fixed.
+ - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
+ write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
+ player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
+ seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
+ time out. (Closes: #14469)
+
+2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [mk_html]
+ - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
+ the filename at the bottom of a genrated page. A text specific to
+ wdoor should be written by using this option.
+ (Closes: #14470)
+ - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
+ (due to RDoc).
+
+2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [mk_rate]
+ - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
+ incomplete records are skipped.
+ - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
+ consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
+ - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
+ names in command line arguments.
+ * [csa-file-filter]
+ - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
+ of mk_rate.
+
+2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified

+ - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
+
+2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
+ specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
+ records are taken care of when games are matched.
+
+2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
+ - Display time control graphs as well.

+
+2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>

+ - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
+ messages that are received or sent to the wire.
+
+2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
+ record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
+ applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
+ of the game. (Closes #12821)
+ - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
+ messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
+ it might have prevented other players from processing until
+ timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
+
+2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
+
+ * [shogi-server]
+ - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
