4 - When a non-rated player participates in Floodgate, the following exception
5 was thrown and a Floodgate game would not start:
6 undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
7 ["/home/shogi-server/www/x/shogi_server/pairing.rb:499:in `block
8 in calculate_diff_with_penalty'"
9 This issue has been resolved. Only players who have player ID
10 (i.e. those who log in with valid password) are now allowed to
11 participate in Floodgate as the spec web page
12 [http://shogi-server.sourceforge.jp/rating.html] describes.
14 2014-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
16 * utils/eval_graph.rb:
17 - Gnuplot 4.6.6 drew evaluation-value lines with a dashed style.
18 This issue has now been addressed so that solid lines are used.

25 2014-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
28 - Ruby 2.0.0 or later is recommended to use with shogi-server
29 since Ruby 1.8 reached its End-of-Life on the end of July, 2014.
31 - Addressed a warning of duplicated range in a regular expression.
33 2014-10-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
36 - A player, attempting to login with the current live player
37 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
39 - Kifu record files now includes rating scores of players at the
40 time when games start. Previously, for rating games, a record
41 file includes player IDs of both players with a line starting with
42 "'rating". Now it also shows rating scores for players who have
43 valid scores. The formats for black and white players are as
45 'black_rate:<player_id>:<score>
46 'white_rate:<player_id>:<score>
48 'rating:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790
49 'black_rate:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2763.0
50 'white_rate:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2345.0
52 2014-07-19 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
55 - Added a new option, --abnormal-threshold n:
56 Games that end with the 'abnormal' status are counted in
57 win/lost games for the rating calculation if a game plays more
58 than n plies. Otherwise (or if n is zero), abnormal games are
59 counted out of rating games.
61 2014-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
64 - Released: Revision "20140107"
66 2013-12-29 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
69 - Previously, parameters in Floodgate time configuration file were
70 not applied to actual instances. This issue has been fixed.
72 2013-12-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
75 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Impose penalty on matches between
78 2013-12-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
81 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
82 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
83 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
84 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
85 already in use - bind(2)".
87 - Released: Revision "20131215"
89 2013-12-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
92 - Added a new program, bin/usiToCsa.rb, which is a bridge for a
93 USI engine to connect to the Shogi-server.
94 - bin/usiToCsa is a sample wrapper script.
96 2013-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
99 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb:
100 - Added a log message.
102 2013-12-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
105 - shogi-server/shogi_server/pairing.rb:
106 - Modified comment for LeastDiff match.
107 - Changed log messages and levels.
109 2013-12-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
112 - shogi_server/pairing.rb, player.rb:
113 Simplify estimated rate of unrated players (less memory).
114 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
115 Now it supports "set sacrifice <player_id>"; it sets a
116 sacrificed player for a specific Floodgate game.
117 ex. set sacrifice gps500+e293220e3f8a3e59f79f6b0efffaa931
119 2013-12-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
122 - Added a new pairing method, ShogiServer::ExcludeUnratedPlayers,
123 which filters out unrated players.
124 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
125 Now it supports "set pairing_factory <function_name>"; it sets a
126 factory function name generating a pairing method which will be
127 used in a specific Floodgate game.
128 ex. set pairing_factory floodgate_zyunisen
129 - Implemented conversion of move representation between CSA format
132 2013-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
135 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
136 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
138 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
139 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
140 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
141 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
142 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
143 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
144 already in use - bind(2)".
146 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
147 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
148 - Removed files that are no longer used.
150 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
153 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
154 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
155 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
156 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
158 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
161 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
164 - Flush after each output line.
165 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
167 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
170 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
171 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
172 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
174 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
177 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
178 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
179 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
180 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
181 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
182 miniute is regarded as zero.
183 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
184 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
186 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
189 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
190 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
191 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
193 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
195 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
198 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
199 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
200 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
201 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
202 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
203 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
205 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
208 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
209 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
210 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
211 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
212 where the previous position of the last one.
213 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
214 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
215 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
216 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
217 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
218 previous stable position.
219 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60

236 - shogi_server/pairing.rb:
237 + There was a bug in the logic avoiding human-human match.
238 This issue has been fixed.
239 + Improved the logic avoiding human-human match. Human-human
240 matches will less likely happen.
242 2012-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
245 - Added shogi_server/compatible.rb, which implements compatible
246 methods and allows Ruby 1.8.7 to run the server.

272 This issue has been fixed.
274 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
277 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
278 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
279 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
280 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.

307 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
308 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
310 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
313 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
314 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
315 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
316 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
318 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
321 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
322 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
323 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
324 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
325 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
327 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
328 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
329 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
331 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
334 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
335 The Buoy behavior is changed.
336 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
337 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
339 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
340 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
342 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
345 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
346 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
347 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
349 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
352 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
353 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
354 earlier than system time.
355 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
356 now returns an instance correctly.
357 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
358 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
359 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
360 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
362 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
365 - shogi_server/command.rb:
366 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
367 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
368 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
370 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
371 ShogiServer::Logger class.
372 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
373 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
374 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
376 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
378 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
381 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
382 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
383 This issue has been fixed.
385 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
388 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
389 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
390 instead of deep_copy().
392 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
395 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
397 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
398 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
399 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
402 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
405 - A new command line option:
406 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
407 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
410 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
411 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
412 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
414 - Floodgate time configuration file:
415 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
416 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
417 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
418 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
421 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
422 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
423 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
424 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
425 default time settings.

445 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
446 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
448 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
451 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
452 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
454 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
457 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
458 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
459 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
460 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
461 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
463 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
466 - shogi_server/player.rb:
467 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
470 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
473 - shogi_server/command.rb:
474 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
475 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
476 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
478 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
481 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
482 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
483 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
484 impatiently sending a move twice.
486 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
489 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
490 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
491 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
494 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
497 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
498 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
499 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
500 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
501 "*" is not available.
511 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
514 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
515 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
516 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
517 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
518 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
519 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
520 appended to the record file.
521 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
522 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
524 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
526 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
528 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
531 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
532 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
534 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
537 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
538 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
539 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
540 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
543 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
546 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
548 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
549 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
550 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
551 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
552 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
553 previous class: StartGame.
554 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
555 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
557 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
560 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
562 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
565 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
566 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
567 ignored for the calculation.
569 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
572 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
573 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
574 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
575 Instruction to use the game result list file:
576 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
578 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
579 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
580 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
581 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
583 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
585 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
588 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
589 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
590 requires two steps as follows:
591 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
592 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
594 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml

600 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
601 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
602 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
603 players can play a new game with the game name.
605 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
607 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
608 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
609 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
611 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
612 specific position that you want to start with.
613 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
614 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
615 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
616 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
617 game is removed automatically by the server.
619 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
620 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
621 allowed to delete it.
622 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
623 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
624 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
625 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
629 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
632 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
634 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
637 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
638 issue has been fixed.
641 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
644 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
645 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
646 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
649 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
652 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
653 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
654 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
655 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
658 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
661 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
662 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
665 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
667 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
668 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
671 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
674 - Improved performance.
676 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
679 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
680 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
681 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
683 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
685 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
686 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
688 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
691 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
692 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
693 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
694 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
696 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
699 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
700 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
702 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
705 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
706 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
708 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
709 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
710 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
711 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
712 time out. (Closes: #14469)
714 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
717 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
718 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
719 wdoor should be written by using this option.
721 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
724 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
727 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
728 incomplete records are skipped.
729 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
730 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
731 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
732 names in command line arguments.
734 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
737 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
740 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
741 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
743 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
746 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
749 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
751 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
754 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
755 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
756 records are taken care of when games are matched.
758 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
760 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
761 - Display time control graphs as well.
762 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
765 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
768 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
769 - Daemon mode is available.
770 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
771 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
772 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
774 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
777 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
778 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
780 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
783 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
784 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
785 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
786 of the game. (Closes #12821)
787 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
788 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
789 it might have prevented other players from processing until
790 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
792 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
795 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
796 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
799 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
802 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
804 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
807 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
808 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
810 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
813 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
814 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
815 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
816 sending a HUP signal to the server.
817 - The server log will be rotated daily.
819 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
822 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
823 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
824 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
825 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
826 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
828 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
831 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
833 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
836 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
837 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
839 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
840 method error in Pairing.
842 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
845 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
846 This bug has been fixed.
847 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
848 This issue has been fixed.
850 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
853 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
854 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
855 This change will help users browse a file list.
857 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
860 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
863 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
866 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
867 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
870 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
873 - The half-life period is now configurable.
874 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
876 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
879 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
881 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
884 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
885 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
887 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
890 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
893 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
896 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
897 issue has been fixed.
898 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
899 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
900 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
901 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
904 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
907 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
908 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
909 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
910 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
912 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
914 * [util/players-graph.rb]
915 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
917 - Small PNG gets smaller.
919 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
922 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
923 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
925 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
928 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
929 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
930 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
932 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
935 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
936 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
937 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
940 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
942 * [util/players-graph.rb]
943 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
945 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
948 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
949 server. This issue has been fixed.
951 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
954 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
955 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
956 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
957 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
960 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
963 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
964 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
965 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
967 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
968 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
969 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
971 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
972 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
974 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
977 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
978 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
980 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
983 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
984 recently are not listed.
986 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
988 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
990 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
991 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
993 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
995 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
997 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
998 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
999 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
1000 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
1001 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
1002 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
1003 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
1004 will be removed when the server shuts down.
1006 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1009 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
1010 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
1011 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
1012 day. This issue has been fixed.
1014 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1017 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
1018 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
1019 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
1021 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1024 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
1025 It may not work with lower verions.
1027 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1030 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
1031 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
1032 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
1034 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1037 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
1038 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
1039 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
1041 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
1042 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
1044 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1047 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
1048 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
1049 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
1050 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
1051 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
1052 - Show revision in a start up message.
1054 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1057 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
1058 send LF, the server sends back LF.
1059 - More care for socket errors.
1061 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1063 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
1064 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
1067 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1069 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
1071 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1074 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
1075 - Daemon mode is available.
1077 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1080 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
1081 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
1082 This issues has been fixed.
1084 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1087 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
1088 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
1090 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
1092 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1094 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
1095 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
1097 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1099 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
1100 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
1101 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
1102 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
1105 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1107 * [mk_rate][mk_html]
1108 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
1109 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
1110 least a game with other players.
1111 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
1112 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
1114 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1116 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
1118 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1120 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
1121 the calculation to complete.
1123 2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1125 * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password.
1127 2006-09-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1129 * [shogi-server] Refactored the login procedures.
1131 2006-09-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1133 * [mk_rate] It failed parse draw games. Now this bug has been fixed.
1134 * [mk_html] Add CSS to look better.
1136 2006-09-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1139 - Remove the trip in a password. Now the password is hashed.
1141 - Support @NORATE syntax in a name, which avoids the player is
1144 2006-09-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1147 - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#.
1149 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1152 - Re-design: trip is now a suffix of the password, not name.
1153 - Simplified the output of %%RATING.
1155 - Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same
1156 before-@-names are mapped to one.
1158 2006-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1160 * [mk_rate] Fix a bug. It solves the correct rate.
1162 2006-08-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1164 * [mk_rate] Re-design.
1165 - Correct the equations.
1166 - Apply deaccelerated Newton method.
1168 2006-08-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1171 - Fix a bug. Now it can see black/white players in a csa file.
1173 - Add a space in the output of %%RATING.
1175 2006-08-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1177 * [mk_rate] Record numbers of win/loss games.
1178 * Add mk_html, which generates html from players.yaml
1179 * Fix test/test_board.rb. Now it works.
1180 * Add test/TC_ALL.rb to run all test cases.
1181 * [shogi-server] Fix a bug. Now it can show %%RATING even if it has no

1194 * Change the player id, which is now <name>+<hash_of_the_trip>.
1195 * Fix the max length of the login name with a trip.
1196 * Add a comment line about the rated game status in the CSA file.
1197 * Remove the rating system, which will be calculated by another
1200 2006-08-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1202 * Add a command, %%RATING, to show a ranking sorted by rates.
1204 2006-07-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
