+ * [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.

+ * [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

+
+ * [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.
