4 - Ruby 2.0.0 or later is recommended to use with shogi-server
5 since Ruby 1.8 reached its End-of-Life on the end of July, 2014.
7 - Addressed a warning of duplicated range in a regular expression.
9 2014-10-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
12 - A player, attempting to login with the current live player
13 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
15 - Kifu record files now includes rating scores of players at the
16 time when games start. Previously, for rating games, a record
17 file includes player IDs of both players with a line starting with
18 "'rating". Now it also shows rating scores for players who have
19 valid scores. The formats for black and white players are as
21 'black_rate:<player_id>:<score>
22 'white_rate:<player_id>:<score>
24 'rating:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790
25 'black_rate:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2763.0
26 'white_rate:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2345.0
28 2014-07-19 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
31 - Added a new option, --abnormal-threshold n:
32 Games that end with the 'abnormal' status are counted in
33 win/lost games for the rating calculation if a game plays more
34 than n plies. Otherwise (or if n is zero), abnormal games are
35 counted out of rating games.
37 2014-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
40 - Released: Revision "20140107"
42 2013-12-29 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
45 - Previously, parameters in Floodgate time configuration file were
46 not applied to actual instances. This issue has been fixed.
48 2013-12-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
51 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Impose penalty on matches between
54 2013-12-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
57 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
58 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
59 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
60 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
61 already in use - bind(2)".
63 - Released: Revision "20131215"
65 2013-12-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
68 - Added a new program, bin/usiToCsa.rb, which is a bridge for a
69 USI engine to connect to the Shogi-server.
70 - bin/usiToCsa is a sample wrapper script.
72 2013-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
75 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb:
76 - Added a log message.
78 2013-12-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
81 - shogi-server/shogi_server/pairing.rb:
82 - Modified comment for LeastDiff match.
83 - Changed log messages and levels.
85 2013-12-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
88 - shogi_server/pairing.rb, player.rb:
89 Simplify estimated rate of unrated players (less memory).
90 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
91 Now it supports "set sacrifice <player_id>"; it sets a
92 sacrificed player for a specific Floodgate game.
93 ex. set sacrifice gps500+e293220e3f8a3e59f79f6b0efffaa931
95 2013-12-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
98 - Added a new pairing method, ShogiServer::ExcludeUnratedPlayers,
99 which filters out unrated players.
100 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
101 Now it supports "set pairing_factory <function_name>"; it sets a
102 factory function name generating a pairing method which will be
103 used in a specific Floodgate game.
104 ex. set pairing_factory floodgate_zyunisen
105 - Implemented conversion of move representation between CSA format
108 2013-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
111 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
112 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
114 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
115 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
116 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
117 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
118 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
119 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
120 already in use - bind(2)".
122 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
123 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
124 - Removed files that are no longer used.
126 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
129 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
130 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
131 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
132 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
134 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
137 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
140 - Flush after each output line.
141 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
143 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
146 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
147 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
148 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
150 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
153 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
154 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
155 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
156 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
157 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
158 miniute is regarded as zero.
159 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
160 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
162 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
165 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
166 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
167 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
169 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
171 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
174 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
175 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
176 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
177 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
178 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
179 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
181 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
184 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
185 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
186 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
187 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
188 where the previous position of the last one.
189 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
190 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
191 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
192 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
193 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
194 previous stable position.
195 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60
197 2012-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
200 - Backported a5c94012656902e73e00f46e7a4c7004b24d4578:

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

246 - shogi_server/floodgate.rb: Generating next time around the new
247 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
248 This issue has been fixed.
250 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
253 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
254 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
255 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
256 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.

283 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
284 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
286 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
289 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
290 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
291 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
292 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
294 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
297 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
298 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
299 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
300 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
301 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
303 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
304 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
305 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
307 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
310 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
311 The Buoy behavior is changed.
312 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
313 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
315 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
316 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
318 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
321 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
322 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
323 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
325 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
328 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
329 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
330 earlier than system time.
331 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
332 now returns an instance correctly.
333 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
334 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
335 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
336 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
338 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
341 - shogi_server/command.rb:
342 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
343 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
344 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
346 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
347 ShogiServer::Logger class.
348 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
349 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
350 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
352 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
354 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
357 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
358 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
359 This issue has been fixed.
361 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
364 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
365 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
366 instead of deep_copy().
368 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
371 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
373 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
374 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
375 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
378 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
381 - A new command line option:
382 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
383 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
386 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
387 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
388 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
390 - Floodgate time configuration file:
391 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
392 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
393 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
394 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
397 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
398 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
399 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
400 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
401 default time settings.

421 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
422 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
424 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
427 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
428 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
430 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
433 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
434 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
435 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
436 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
437 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
439 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
442 - shogi_server/player.rb:
443 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
446 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
449 - shogi_server/command.rb:
450 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
451 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
452 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
454 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
457 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
458 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
459 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
460 impatiently sending a move twice.
462 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
465 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
466 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
467 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
470 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
473 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
474 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
475 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
476 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
477 "*" is not available.
487 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
490 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
491 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
492 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
493 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
494 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
495 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
496 appended to the record file.
497 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
498 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
500 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
502 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
504 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
507 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
508 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
510 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
513 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
514 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
515 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
516 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
519 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
522 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
524 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
525 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
526 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
527 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
528 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
529 previous class: StartGame.
530 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
531 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
533 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
536 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
538 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
541 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
542 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
543 ignored for the calculation.
545 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
548 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
549 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
550 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
551 Instruction to use the game result list file:
552 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
554 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
555 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
556 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
557 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
559 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
561 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
564 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
565 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
566 requires two steps as follows:
567 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
568 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
570 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
573 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
576 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
577 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
578 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
579 players can play a new game with the game name.
581 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
583 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
584 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
585 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
587 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
588 specific position that you want to start with.
589 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
590 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
591 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
592 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
593 game is removed automatically by the server.
595 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
596 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
597 allowed to delete it.
598 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
599 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
600 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
601 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
605 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
608 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
610 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
613 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
614 issue has been fixed.
617 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
620 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
621 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
622 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
625 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
628 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
629 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
630 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
631 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
634 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
637 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
638 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
641 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
643 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
644 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
647 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
650 - Improved performance.
652 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
655 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
656 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
657 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
659 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
661 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
662 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
664 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
667 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
668 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
669 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
670 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
672 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
675 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
676 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
678 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
681 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
682 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
684 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
685 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
686 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
687 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
688 time out. (Closes: #14469)
690 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
693 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
694 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
695 wdoor should be written by using this option.
697 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
700 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
703 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
704 incomplete records are skipped.
705 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
706 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
707 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
708 names in command line arguments.
710 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
713 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
716 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
717 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
719 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
722 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
725 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
727 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
730 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
731 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
732 records are taken care of when games are matched.
734 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
736 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
737 - Display time control graphs as well.
738 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
741 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
744 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
745 - Daemon mode is available.
746 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
747 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
748 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
750 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
753 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
754 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
756 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
759 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
760 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
761 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
762 of the game. (Closes #12821)
763 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
764 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
765 it might have prevented other players from processing until
766 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
768 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
771 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
772 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
775 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
778 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
780 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
783 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
784 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
786 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
789 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
790 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
791 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
792 sending a HUP signal to the server.
793 - The server log will be rotated daily.
795 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
798 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
799 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
800 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
801 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
802 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
804 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
807 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
809 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
812 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
813 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
815 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
816 method error in Pairing.
818 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
821 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
822 This bug has been fixed.
823 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
824 This issue has been fixed.
826 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
829 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
830 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
831 This change will help users browse a file list.
833 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
836 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
839 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
842 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
843 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
846 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
849 - The half-life period is now configurable.
850 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
852 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
855 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
857 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
860 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
861 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
863 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
866 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
869 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
872 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
873 issue has been fixed.
874 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
875 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
876 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
877 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
880 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
883 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
884 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
885 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
886 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
888 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
890 * [util/players-graph.rb]
891 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
893 - Small PNG gets smaller.
895 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
898 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
899 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
901 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
904 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
905 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
906 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
908 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
911 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
912 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
913 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
916 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
918 * [util/players-graph.rb]
919 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
921 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
924 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
925 server. This issue has been fixed.
927 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
930 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
931 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
932 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
933 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
936 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
939 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
940 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
941 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
943 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
944 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
945 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
947 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
948 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
950 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
953 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
954 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
956 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
959 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
960 recently are not listed.
962 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
964 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
966 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
967 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
969 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
971 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
973 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
974 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
975 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
976 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
977 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
978 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
979 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
980 will be removed when the server shuts down.
982 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
985 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
986 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
987 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
988 day. This issue has been fixed.
990 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
993 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
994 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
995 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
997 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1000 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
1001 It may not work with lower verions.
1003 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1006 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
1007 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
1008 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
1010 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1013 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
1014 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
1015 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
1017 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
1018 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
1020 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1023 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
1024 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
1025 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
1026 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
1027 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
1028 - Show revision in a start up message.
1030 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1033 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
1034 send LF, the server sends back LF.
1035 - More care for socket errors.
1037 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1039 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
1040 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
1043 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1045 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
1047 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1050 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
1051 - Daemon mode is available.
1053 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1056 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
1057 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
1058 This issues has been fixed.
1060 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1063 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
1064 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
1066 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
1068 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1070 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
1071 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
1073 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1075 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
1076 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
1077 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
1078 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
1081 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1083 * [mk_rate][mk_html]
1084 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
1085 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
1086 least a game with other players.
1087 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
1088 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
1090 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1092 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
1094 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1096 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
1097 the calculation to complete.
1099 2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1101 * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password.
1103 2006-09-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1105 * [shogi-server] Refactored the login procedures.
1107 2006-09-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1109 * [mk_rate] It failed parse draw games. Now this bug has been fixed.
1110 * [mk_html] Add CSS to look better.
1112 2006-09-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1115 - Remove the trip in a password. Now the password is hashed.
1117 - Support @NORATE syntax in a name, which avoids the player is
1120 2006-09-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1123 - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#.
1125 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1128 - Re-design: trip is now a suffix of the password, not name.
1129 - Simplified the output of %%RATING.
1131 - Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same
1132 before-@-names are mapped to one.
1134 2006-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1136 * [mk_rate] Fix a bug. It solves the correct rate.
1138 2006-08-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1140 * [mk_rate] Re-design.
1141 - Correct the equations.
1142 - Apply deaccelerated Newton method.
1144 2006-08-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1147 - Fix a bug. Now it can see black/white players in a csa file.
1149 - Add a space in the output of %%RATING.
1151 2006-08-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1153 * [mk_rate] Record numbers of win/loss games.
1154 * Add mk_html, which generates html from players.yaml
1155 * Fix test/test_board.rb. Now it works.
1156 * Add test/TC_ALL.rb to run all test cases.
1157 * [shogi-server] Fix a bug. Now it can show %%RATING even if it has no
1160 2006-08-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>

1171 * Fix the max length of the login name with a trip.
1172 * Add a comment line about the rated game status in the CSA file.
1173 * Remove the rating system, which will be calculated by another
1176 2006-08-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1178 * Add a command, %%RATING, to show a ranking sorted by rates.
1180 2006-07-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
