4 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
7 - Flush after each output line.
8 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
10 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
13 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
14 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
15 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
17 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
20 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
21 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
22 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
23 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
24 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
25 miniute is regarded as zero.
26 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
27 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
29 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
32 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
33 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
34 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
36 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
38 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
41 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
42 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
43 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
44 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
45 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
46 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
48 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
51 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
52 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
53 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
54 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
55 where the previous position of the last one.
56 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
57 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
58 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
59 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
60 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
61 previous stable position.
62 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60
64 2012-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
67 - Backported a5c94012656902e73e00f46e7a4c7004b24d4578:
68 test/TC_logger.rb depeneded on a specific directory where it was
69 running on. This issues has been fixed.
70 - Backported 87d145bd1f1a14a33f5f6fbc78b63a1952f1ca90 and
71 2df8c798aeb7f0e77735e893fd1370c2c6f15c4d:
72 shogi_server/floodgate.rb: Generating next time around the new
73 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
74 This issue has been fixed.
76 2012-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
79 - shogi_server/pairing.rb:
80 + There was a bug in the logic avoiding human-human match.
81 This issue has been fixed.
82 + Improved the logic avoiding human-human match. Human-human
83 matches will less likely happen.
85 2010-10-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
88 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
89 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
91 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
94 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
95 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
96 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
97 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
99 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
102 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
103 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
104 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
105 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
106 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
108 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
109 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
110 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
112 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
115 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
116 The Buoy behaivor is changed.
117 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
118 position with the initial position and moves, instread of a
120 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
121 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
123 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
126 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
127 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
128 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
130 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
133 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
134 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
135 earlier than system time.
136 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
137 now returns an instance correctly.
138 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
139 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
140 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
141 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
143 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
146 - shogi_server/command.rb:
147 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
148 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
149 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
151 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
152 ShogiServer::Logger class.
153 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
154 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
155 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
157 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
159 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
162 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
163 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
164 This issue has been fixed.
166 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
169 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
170 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
171 instread of deep_copy().
173 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
176 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
178 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
179 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
180 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
183 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
186 - A new command line option:
187 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
188 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
191 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
192 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
193 previous versions, you need to spefify the game name in this new
195 - Floodgate time configuration file:
196 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
197 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgat
198 e group requires a correspoding configuration file named
199 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
202 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
203 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
204 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
205 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
206 defualt time settings.

223 2010-06-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
226 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
227 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
229 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
232 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
233 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
235 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
238 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
239 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
240 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
241 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
242 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
244 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
247 - shogi_server/player.rb:
248 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
251 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
254 - shogi_server/command.rb:
255 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
256 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
257 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
259 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
262 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
263 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
264 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
265 impatiently sending a move twice.
267 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
270 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previouslly,
271 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
272 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
275 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
278 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
279 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
280 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
281 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
282 "*" is not available.
292 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
295 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
296 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
297 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
298 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
299 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
300 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
301 appended to the record file.
302 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
303 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
305 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
307 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
309 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
312 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
313 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
315 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
318 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
319 been deprectated. The server will decide history file names such
320 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
321 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
324 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
327 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
329 A human player is recommened to use a name ending with '_human'.
330 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
331 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
332 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
333 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instread of the
334 previous class: StartGame.
335 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
336 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
338 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
341 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
343 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
346 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
347 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
348 ignored for the calculation.
350 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
353 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
354 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
355 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
356 Instruction to use the game result list file:
357 1. Make a list of game results from exisiting CSA files with
359 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
360 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
361 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
362 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
364 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
366 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
369 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
370 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
371 requires two steps as follows:
372 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
373 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
375 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
378 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
381 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
382 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
383 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
384 players can play a new game with the game name.
386 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
388 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
389 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
390 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
392 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
393 spcific position that you want to start with.
394 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
395 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
396 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
397 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
398 game is removed automatically by the server.
400 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
401 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
402 allowed to delete it.
403 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
404 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
405 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
406 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
410 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
413 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
415 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
418 - An emtpy floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
419 issue has been fixed.
422 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
425 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
426 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
427 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
430 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
433 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
434 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
435 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
436 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
439 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
442 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
443 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
446 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
448 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
449 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
452 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
455 - Improved performance.
457 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
460 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
461 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
462 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
464 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
466 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
467 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
469 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
472 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
473 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
474 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
475 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
477 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
480 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
481 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
483 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
486 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
487 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
489 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
490 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
491 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
492 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
493 time out. (Closes: #14469)
495 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
498 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
499 the filename at the bottom of a genrated page. A text specific to
500 wdoor should be written by using this option.
502 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
505 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
508 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
509 incomplete records are skipped.
510 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
511 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
512 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
513 names in command line arguments.
515 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
518 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
521 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
522 by command line options, expecially in case of the daemon mode.
524 - A lotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
527 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
530 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
532 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
535 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
536 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
537 records are taken care of when games are matched.
539 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
541 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
542 - Display time control graphs as well.
543 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
546 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
549 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
550 - Daemon mode is available.
551 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
552 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
553 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
555 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
558 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
559 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
561 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
564 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
565 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
566 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
567 of the game. (Closes #12821)
568 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
569 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
570 it might have prevented other players from processing until
571 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
573 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
576 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
577 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
580 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
583 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
585 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
588 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
589 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
591 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
594 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
595 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
596 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
597 sending a HUP signal to the server.
598 - The server log will be rotated daily.
600 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
603 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
604 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
605 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
606 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
607 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
609 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
612 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
614 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
617 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
618 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
620 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
621 method error in Pairing.
623 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
626 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
627 This bug has been fixed.
628 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
629 This issue has been fixed.

634 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
635 "2008/05/05/*.csa". Thease days, we have many games in a day.
636 This change will help users browse a file list.
638 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
641 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
644 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
647 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
648 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
651 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
654 - The half-life period is now configurable.
655 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
657 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
660 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
662 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
665 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
666 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
668 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
671 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
674 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
677 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
678 issue has been fixed.
679 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
680 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
681 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
682 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
685 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
688 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
689 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
690 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
691 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
693 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
695 * [util/players-graph.rb]
696 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
698 - Small PNG gets smaller.
700 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
703 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
704 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
706 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
709 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
710 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
711 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
713 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
716 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
717 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
718 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
721 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
723 * [util/players-graph.rb]
724 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
726 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
729 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
730 server. This issue has been fixed.
732 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
735 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
736 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
737 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
738 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
741 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
744 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
745 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
746 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
748 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
749 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
750 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
752 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
753 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
755 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
758 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
759 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
761 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
764 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
765 recently are not listed.
767 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
769 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
771 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
772 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
774 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
776 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
778 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
779 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
780 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
781 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
782 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
783 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
784 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
785 will be removed when the server shuts down.
787 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
790 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
791 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
792 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
793 day. This issue has been fixed.
795 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
798 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
799 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
800 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
802 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
805 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
806 It may not work with lower verions.
808 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
811 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
812 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
813 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
815 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
818 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
819 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
820 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
822 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
823 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
825 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
828 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
829 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
830 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
831 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
832 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
833 - Show revision in a start up message.
835 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
838 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
839 send LF, the server sends back LF.
840 - More care for socket errors.
842 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
844 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
845 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
848 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
850 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
852 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>

856 - Daemon mode is available.
858 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>

875 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
876 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
878 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
880 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
881 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
882 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
883 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
886 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
889 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
890 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
891 least a game with other players.
892 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
893 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
895 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
