3 * [shogi-server] shogi_server/time_clock.rb:
4 - A time consumed could be -1.
5 * The start time of a move is captured after sending a move to a
6 player of the next turn at the end of the giant lock
7 * The end time of the move is captured at the exact time when the
8 server receives it before the giant lock
9 Therefore, end_time < start_time is possible when a player returns a
11 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for reporting this issue.

17 - Updated to investigate floodgate-600-10 games.
19 http://www.sgtpepper.net/hyspro/diary/20150214.html.
20 - Added a companion R script: histogram.R
22 2015-01-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
25 - Getting an absolute path of this file was wrong if it was a
26 symbolic link. This issue has been addressed.
28 - Links to details pages for players now use a relative path so
29 that it works on a testing site.
31 2015-01-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
34 - shogi-server, shogi_server/{command,game_result,player}.rb:
35 The change at 2014-10-13 was not worked as expected. Reworked.
36 A player, attempting to login with the current live player
37 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
40 2015-01-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
43 - shogi_server.rb: Follow an API change in a upstream class:
44 LogDevice.previous_period_end
46 2014-12-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
49 - When a non-rated player participates in Floodgate, the following exception
50 was thrown and a Floodgate game would not start:
51 undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
52 ["/home/shogi-server/www/x/shogi_server/pairing.rb:499:in `block
53 in calculate_diff_with_penalty'"
54 This issue has been resolved. Only players who have player ID
55 (i.e. those who log in with valid password) are now allowed to
56 participate in Floodgate as the spec web page
57 [http://shogi-server.sourceforge.jp/rating.html] describes.
59 2014-12-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
62 - Addressed Ruby incompatibility on ShogiServer::Usi::alphabetToDan.
63 It (and usiToCsa.rb) did not work with Ruby 1.9.3. This issue
65 Thanks to Hiraoka-san for debugging.
67 2014-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
69 * utils/eval_graph.rb:
70 - Gnuplot 4.6.6 drew evaluation-value lines with a dashed style.
71 This issue has now been addressed so that solid lines are used.
73 2014-11-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
78 2014-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
81 - Ruby 2.0.0 or later is recommended to use with shogi-server
82 since Ruby 1.8 reached its End-of-Life on the end of July, 2014.
84 - Addressed a warning of duplicated range in a regular expression.
86 2014-10-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
89 - A player, attempting to login with the current live player
90 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
92 - Kifu record files now includes rating scores of players at the
93 time when games start. Previously, for rating games, a record
94 file includes player IDs of both players with a line starting with
95 "'rating". Now it also shows rating scores for players who have
96 valid scores. The formats for black and white players are as
98 'black_rate:<player_id>:<score>
99 'white_rate:<player_id>:<score>
101 'rating:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790
102 'black_rate:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2763.0
103 'white_rate:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2345.0
105 2014-10-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
108 - New feature: max moves
109 - New command line option: --max-moves n
110 When a game with the n-th move played does not end, make the
111 game a draw (default 256 in compliance with CSA Protocol V1.2
112 or later). Setting 0 disables this feature for
113 CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
114 - Players will receive a new message, "#MAX_MOVES", upon an end
118 - A new log summary type, "max_moves", has been assigned for games
119 drawing with max moves.
120 'summary:max_moves:name_sente draw:name_gote draw
121 - Least time per move:
122 - New command line option: --least-time-per-move n
123 This option specifies a least time in second per move, which
124 is 0 second by default, meaning that a decimal
125 fraction of time for a move will be truncated in compliance
126 with CSA Protocol V1.2 or later.
127 Set 1 for CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
129 2014-07-19 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
132 - Added a new option, --abnormal-threshold n:
133 Games that end with the 'abnormal' status are counted in
134 win/lost games for the rating calculation if a game plays more
135 than n plies. Otherwise (or if n is zero), abnormal games are
136 counted out of rating games.
138 2014-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
141 - Released: Revision "20140107"
143 2013-12-29 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
146 - Previously, parameters in Floodgate time configuration file were
147 not applied to actual instances. This issue has been fixed.
149 2013-12-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
152 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Impose penalty on matches between
155 2013-12-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
158 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
159 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
160 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
161 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
162 already in use - bind(2)".
164 - Released: Revision "20131215"
166 2013-12-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
169 - Added a new program, bin/usiToCsa.rb, which is a bridge for a
170 USI engine to connect to the Shogi-server.
171 - bin/usiToCsa is a sample wrapper script.
173 2013-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
176 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb:
177 - Added a log message.
179 2013-12-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
182 - shogi-server/shogi_server/pairing.rb:
183 - Modified comment for LeastDiff match.
184 - Changed log messages and levels.
186 2013-12-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
189 - shogi_server/pairing.rb, player.rb:
190 Simplify estimated rate of unrated players (less memory).
191 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
192 Now it supports "set sacrifice <player_id>"; it sets a
193 sacrificed player for a specific Floodgate game.
194 ex. set sacrifice gps500+e293220e3f8a3e59f79f6b0efffaa931
196 2013-12-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
199 - Added a new pairing method, ShogiServer::ExcludeUnratedPlayers,
200 which filters out unrated players.
201 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
202 Now it supports "set pairing_factory <function_name>"; it sets a
203 factory function name generating a pairing method which will be
204 used in a specific Floodgate game.
205 ex. set pairing_factory floodgate_zyunisen
206 - Implemented conversion of move representation between CSA format
209 2013-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
212 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
213 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
215 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
216 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
217 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
218 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
219 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
220 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
221 already in use - bind(2)".
223 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
224 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
225 - Removed files that are no longer used.
227 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
230 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
231 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
232 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
233 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
235 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
238 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
241 - Flush after each output line.
242 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
244 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
247 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
248 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
249 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
251 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
254 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
255 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
256 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
257 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
258 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
259 miniute is regarded as zero.
260 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
261 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
263 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
266 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
267 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
268 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
270 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
272 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
275 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
276 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
277 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
278 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
279 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
280 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
282 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
285 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
286 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
287 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
288 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
289 where the previous position of the last one.
290 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
291 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
292 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
293 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
294 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
295 previous stable position.
296 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60
298 2012-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
301 - Backported a5c94012656902e73e00f46e7a4c7004b24d4578:
302 test/TC_logger.rb depeneded on a specific directory where it was

308 This issue has been fixed.
310 2012-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
313 - shogi_server/pairing.rb:
314 + There was a bug in the logic avoiding human-human match.
315 This issue has been fixed.
316 + Improved the logic avoiding human-human match. Human-human
317 matches will less likely happen.
319 2012-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
322 - Added shogi_server/compatible.rb, which implements compatible
323 methods and allows Ruby 1.8.7 to run the server.
324 - test/TC_floodgate.rb failed with Ruby 1.8.7. This issue has
326 - test/TC_uchifuzume.rb did not run with Ruby 1.8.7. This issue
328 - test/TC_league.rb failed with Ruby 1.8.7. This issue has been

342 running on. This issues has been fixed.
344 2012-01-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
347 - shogi_server/floodgate.rb: Generating next time around the new
348 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
349 This issue has been fixed.
351 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
354 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
355 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
356 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
357 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.
358 * [mk_rate] [mk_game_results]
359 - Supports Ruby 1.9.3.
361 2011-12-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>

381 2010-10-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
384 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
385 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
387 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
390 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
391 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
392 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
393 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
395 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
398 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
399 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
400 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
401 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
402 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
404 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
405 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
406 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
408 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
411 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
412 The Buoy behavior is changed.
413 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
414 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
416 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
417 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
419 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
422 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
423 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
424 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
426 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
429 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
430 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
431 earlier than system time.
432 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
433 now returns an instance correctly.
434 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
435 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
436 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
437 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
439 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
442 - shogi_server/command.rb:
443 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
444 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
445 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
447 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
448 ShogiServer::Logger class.
449 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
450 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
451 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
453 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
455 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
458 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
459 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
460 This issue has been fixed.
462 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
465 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
466 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
467 instead of deep_copy().
469 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
472 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
474 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
475 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
476 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
479 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
482 - A new command line option:
483 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
484 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
487 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
488 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
489 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
491 - Floodgate time configuration file:
492 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
493 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
494 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
495 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
498 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
499 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
500 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
501 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
502 default time settings.

522 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
523 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
525 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
528 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
529 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
531 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
534 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
535 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
536 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
537 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
538 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
540 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
543 - shogi_server/player.rb:
544 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
547 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
550 - shogi_server/command.rb:
551 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
552 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
553 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
555 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
558 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
559 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
560 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
561 impatiently sending a move twice.
563 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
566 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
567 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
568 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
571 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
574 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
575 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
576 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
577 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
578 "*" is not available.
588 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
591 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
592 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
593 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
594 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
595 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
596 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
597 appended to the record file.
598 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
599 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
601 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
603 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
605 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
608 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
609 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
611 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
614 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
615 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
616 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
617 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
620 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
623 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
625 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
626 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
627 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
628 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
629 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
630 previous class: StartGame.
631 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
632 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
634 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
637 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
639 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
642 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
643 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
644 ignored for the calculation.
646 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
649 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
650 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
651 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
652 Instruction to use the game result list file:
653 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
655 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
656 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
657 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
658 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
660 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
662 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
665 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
666 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
667 requires two steps as follows:
668 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
669 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
671 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
674 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
677 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
678 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
679 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
680 players can play a new game with the game name.
682 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
684 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
685 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
686 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
688 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
689 specific position that you want to start with.
690 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
691 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
692 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
693 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
694 game is removed automatically by the server.
696 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
697 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
698 allowed to delete it.
699 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
700 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
701 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
702 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
706 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
709 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
711 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
714 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
715 issue has been fixed.
718 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
721 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
722 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
723 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
726 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
729 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
730 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
731 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
732 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
735 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
738 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
739 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
742 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
744 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
745 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
748 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
751 - Improved performance.
753 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
756 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
757 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
758 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
760 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
762 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
763 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
765 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
768 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
769 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
770 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
771 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
773 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
776 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
777 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
779 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
782 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
783 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
785 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
786 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
787 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
788 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
789 time out. (Closes: #14469)
791 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
794 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
795 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
796 wdoor should be written by using this option.
798 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
801 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
804 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
805 incomplete records are skipped.
806 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
807 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
808 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
809 names in command line arguments.
811 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
814 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
817 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
818 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
820 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
823 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
826 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
828 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
831 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
832 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
833 records are taken care of when games are matched.
835 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
837 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
838 - Display time control graphs as well.
839 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
842 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
845 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
846 - Daemon mode is available.
847 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
848 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
849 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
851 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
854 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
855 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
857 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
860 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
861 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
862 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
863 of the game. (Closes #12821)
864 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
865 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
866 it might have prevented other players from processing until
867 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
869 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
872 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
873 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
876 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
879 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
881 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
884 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
885 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
887 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
890 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
891 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
892 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
893 sending a HUP signal to the server.
894 - The server log will be rotated daily.
896 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
899 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
900 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
901 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
902 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
903 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
905 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
908 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
910 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
913 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
914 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
916 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
917 method error in Pairing.
919 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
922 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
923 This bug has been fixed.
924 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
925 This issue has been fixed.
927 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
930 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
931 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
932 This change will help users browse a file list.
934 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
937 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
940 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
943 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
944 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
947 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
950 - The half-life period is now configurable.
951 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
953 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
956 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
958 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
961 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
962 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
964 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
967 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
970 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
973 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
974 issue has been fixed.
975 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
976 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
977 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
978 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
981 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
984 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
985 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
986 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
987 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
989 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
991 * [util/players-graph.rb]
992 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
994 - Small PNG gets smaller.
996 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
999 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
1000 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
1002 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1005 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
1006 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
1007 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
1009 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1012 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
1013 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
1014 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
1017 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1019 * [util/players-graph.rb]
1020 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
1022 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1025 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
1026 server. This issue has been fixed.
1028 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1031 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
1032 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
1033 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
1034 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
1037 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1040 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
1041 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
1042 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
1044 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
1045 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
1046 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
1048 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
1049 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
1051 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1054 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
1055 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
1057 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1060 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
1061 recently are not listed.
1063 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
1065 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1067 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
1068 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
1070 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
1072 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1074 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
1075 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
1076 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
1077 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
1078 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
1079 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
1080 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
1081 will be removed when the server shuts down.
1083 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1086 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
1087 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
1088 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
1089 day. This issue has been fixed.
1091 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1094 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
1095 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
1096 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
1098 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1101 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
1102 It may not work with lower verions.
1104 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1107 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
1108 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
1109 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
1111 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1114 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
1115 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
1116 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
1118 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
1119 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
1121 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1124 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
1125 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
1126 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
1127 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
1128 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
1129 - Show revision in a start up message.
1131 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1134 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
1135 send LF, the server sends back LF.
1136 - More care for socket errors.
1138 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1140 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
1141 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
1144 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1146 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
1148 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1151 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
1152 - Daemon mode is available.
1154 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1157 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
1158 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
1159 This issues has been fixed.
1161 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1164 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
1165 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
1167 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
1169 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1171 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
1172 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
1174 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1176 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
1177 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
1178 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
1179 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
1182 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1184 * [mk_rate][mk_html]
1185 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
1186 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
1187 least a game with other players.
1188 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
1189 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
1191 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1193 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
1195 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1197 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
1198 the calculation to complete.
1200 2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1202 * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password.
1204 2006-09-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1206 * [shogi-server] Refactored the login procedures.
1208 2006-09-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1210 * [mk_rate] It failed parse draw games. Now this bug has been fixed.
1211 * [mk_html] Add CSS to look better.
1213 2006-09-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1216 - Remove the trip in a password. Now the password is hashed.
1218 - Support @NORATE syntax in a name, which avoids the player is
1221 2006-09-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1224 - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#.
1226 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1229 - Re-design: trip is now a suffix of the password, not name.
1230 - Simplified the output of %%RATING.
1232 - Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same
