4 - A player, attempting to login with the current live player
5 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
7 - Kifu record files now includes rating scores of players at the
8 time when games start. Previously, for rating games, a record
9 file includes player IDs of both players with a line starting with
10 "'rating". Now it also shows rating scores for players who have
11 valid scores. The formats for black and white players are as
13 'black_rate:<player_id>:<score>
14 'white_rate:<player_id>:<score>
16 'rating:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790
17 'black_rate:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2763.0
18 'white_rate:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2345.0
20 2014-07-19 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
23 - Added a new option, --abnormal-threshold n:
24 Games that end with the 'abnormal' status are counted in
25 win/lost games for the rating calculation if a game plays more
26 than n plies. Otherwise (or if n is zero), abnormal games are
27 counted out of rating games.
29 2014-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
32 - Released: Revision "20140107"
34 2013-12-29 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
37 - Previously, parameters in Floodgate time configuration file were
38 not applied to actual instances. This issue has been fixed.
40 2013-12-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
43 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Impose penalty on matches between
46 2013-12-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
49 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
50 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
51 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
52 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
53 already in use - bind(2)".
55 - Released: Revision "20131215"
57 2013-12-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
60 - Added a new program, bin/usiToCsa.rb, which is a bridge for a
61 USI engine to connect to the Shogi-server.
62 - bin/usiToCsa is a sample wrapper script.
64 2013-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
67 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb:
68 - Added a log message.
70 2013-12-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
73 - shogi-server/shogi_server/pairing.rb:
74 - Modified comment for LeastDiff match.
75 - Changed log messages and levels.
77 2013-12-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
80 - shogi_server/pairing.rb, player.rb:
81 Simplify estimated rate of unrated players (less memory).
82 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
83 Now it supports "set sacrifice <player_id>"; it sets a
84 sacrificed player for a specific Floodgate game.
85 ex. set sacrifice gps500+e293220e3f8a3e59f79f6b0efffaa931
87 2013-12-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
90 - Added a new pairing method, ShogiServer::ExcludeUnratedPlayers,
91 which filters out unrated players.
92 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
93 Now it supports "set pairing_factory <function_name>"; it sets a
94 factory function name generating a pairing method which will be
95 used in a specific Floodgate game.
96 ex. set pairing_factory floodgate_zyunisen
97 - Implemented conversion of move representation between CSA format
100 2013-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
103 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
104 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
106 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
107 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
108 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
109 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
110 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
111 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
112 already in use - bind(2)".
114 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
115 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
116 - Removed files that are no longer used.
118 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
121 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
122 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
123 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
124 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
126 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
129 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
132 - Flush after each output line.
133 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
135 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
138 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
139 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
140 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
142 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
145 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
146 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
147 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
148 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
149 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
150 miniute is regarded as zero.
151 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
152 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
154 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
157 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
158 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
159 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
161 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
163 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
166 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
167 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
168 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
169 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
170 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
171 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
173 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
176 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
177 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
178 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
179 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
180 where the previous position of the last one.
181 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
182 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
183 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
184 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
185 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
186 previous stable position.
187 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60
189 2012-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
192 - Backported a5c94012656902e73e00f46e7a4c7004b24d4578:

204 - shogi_server/pairing.rb:
205 + There was a bug in the logic avoiding human-human match.
206 This issue has been fixed.
207 + Improved the logic avoiding human-human match. Human-human
208 matches will less likely happen.
210 2012-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
213 - Added shogi_server/compatible.rb, which implements compatible
214 methods and allows Ruby 1.8.7 to run the server.

238 - shogi_server/floodgate.rb: Generating next time around the new
239 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
240 This issue has been fixed.
242 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
245 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
246 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
247 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
248 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.
249 * [mk_rate] [mk_game_results]

275 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
276 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
278 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
281 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
282 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
283 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
284 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
286 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
289 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
290 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
291 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
292 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
293 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
295 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
296 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
297 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
299 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
302 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
303 The Buoy behavior is changed.
304 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
305 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
307 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
308 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
310 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
313 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
314 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
315 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
317 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
320 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
321 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
322 earlier than system time.
323 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
324 now returns an instance correctly.
325 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
326 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
327 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
328 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
330 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
333 - shogi_server/command.rb:
334 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
335 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
336 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
338 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
339 ShogiServer::Logger class.
340 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
341 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
342 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
344 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
346 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
349 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
350 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
351 This issue has been fixed.
353 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
356 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
357 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
358 instead of deep_copy().
360 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
363 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
365 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
366 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
367 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
370 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
373 - A new command line option:
374 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
375 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
378 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
379 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
380 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
382 - Floodgate time configuration file:
383 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
384 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
385 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
386 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
389 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
390 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
391 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
392 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
393 default time settings.

413 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
414 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
416 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
419 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
420 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
422 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
425 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
426 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
427 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
428 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
429 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
431 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
434 - shogi_server/player.rb:
435 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
438 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
441 - shogi_server/command.rb:
442 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
443 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
444 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
446 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
449 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
450 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
451 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
452 impatiently sending a move twice.
454 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
457 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
458 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
459 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
462 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
465 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
466 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
467 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
468 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
469 "*" is not available.
479 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
482 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
483 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
484 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
485 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
486 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
487 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
488 appended to the record file.
489 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
490 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
492 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
494 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
496 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
499 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
500 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
502 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
505 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
506 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
507 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
508 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
511 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
514 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
516 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
517 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
518 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
519 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
520 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
521 previous class: StartGame.
522 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
523 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
525 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
528 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
530 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
533 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
534 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
535 ignored for the calculation.
537 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
540 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
541 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
542 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
543 Instruction to use the game result list file:
544 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
546 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
547 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
548 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
549 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
551 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
553 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
556 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
557 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
558 requires two steps as follows:
559 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
560 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
562 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
565 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
568 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
569 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
570 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
571 players can play a new game with the game name.
573 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
575 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
576 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
577 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
579 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
580 specific position that you want to start with.
581 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
582 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
583 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
584 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
585 game is removed automatically by the server.
587 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
588 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
589 allowed to delete it.
590 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
591 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.

597 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
600 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
602 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
605 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
606 issue has been fixed.
609 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
612 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
613 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
614 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
617 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
620 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
621 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
622 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
623 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
626 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
629 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
630 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
633 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
635 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
636 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
639 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
642 - Improved performance.
644 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
647 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
648 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
649 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
651 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
653 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
654 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
656 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
659 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
660 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
661 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
662 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
664 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
667 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
668 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
670 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
673 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
674 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
676 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
677 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
678 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
679 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
680 time out. (Closes: #14469)
682 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
685 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
686 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
687 wdoor should be written by using this option.
689 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
692 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
695 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
696 incomplete records are skipped.
697 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
698 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
699 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
700 names in command line arguments.
702 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
705 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
708 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
709 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
711 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
714 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
717 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
719 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
722 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
723 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
724 records are taken care of when games are matched.
726 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
728 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
729 - Display time control graphs as well.
730 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
733 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
736 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
737 - Daemon mode is available.
738 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
739 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
740 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
742 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
745 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
746 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
748 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
751 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
752 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
753 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
754 of the game. (Closes #12821)
755 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
756 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
757 it might have prevented other players from processing until
758 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
760 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
763 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
764 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
767 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
770 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
772 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
775 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
776 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
778 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
781 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
782 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
783 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
784 sending a HUP signal to the server.
785 - The server log will be rotated daily.
787 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
790 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
791 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
792 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
793 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
794 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
796 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
799 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
801 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
804 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
805 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
807 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
808 method error in Pairing.
810 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
813 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
814 This bug has been fixed.
815 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
816 This issue has been fixed.
818 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
821 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
822 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
823 This change will help users browse a file list.
825 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
828 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
831 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
834 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
835 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
838 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
841 - The half-life period is now configurable.
842 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
844 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
847 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
849 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
852 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
853 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
855 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
858 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
861 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
864 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
865 issue has been fixed.
866 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
867 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
868 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
869 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
872 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
875 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
876 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
877 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
878 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
880 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
882 * [util/players-graph.rb]
883 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
885 - Small PNG gets smaller.
887 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
890 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
891 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
893 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
896 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
897 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
898 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
900 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
903 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
904 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
905 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
908 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
910 * [util/players-graph.rb]
911 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
913 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
916 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
917 server. This issue has been fixed.
919 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
922 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
923 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
924 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
925 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
928 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
931 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
932 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
933 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
935 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
936 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
937 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
939 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
940 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
942 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
945 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
946 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
948 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
951 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
952 recently are not listed.
954 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
956 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
958 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
959 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
961 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
963 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
965 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
966 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
967 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
968 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
969 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
970 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
971 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
972 will be removed when the server shuts down.
974 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
977 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
978 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
979 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
980 day. This issue has been fixed.
982 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
985 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
986 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
987 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
989 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
992 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
993 It may not work with lower verions.
995 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
998 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
999 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
1000 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
1002 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1005 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
1006 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
1007 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
1009 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
1010 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
1012 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1015 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
1016 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
1017 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
1018 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
1019 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
1020 - Show revision in a start up message.
1022 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1025 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
1026 send LF, the server sends back LF.
1027 - More care for socket errors.
1029 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1031 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
1032 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
1035 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1037 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
1039 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1042 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
1043 - Daemon mode is available.
1045 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1048 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
1049 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
1050 This issues has been fixed.
1052 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1055 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
1056 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
1058 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
1060 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1062 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
1063 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
1065 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1067 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
1068 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
1069 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
1070 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
1073 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1075 * [mk_rate][mk_html]
1076 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
1077 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
1078 least a game with other players.
1079 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
1080 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
1082 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1084 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
1086 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1088 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
1089 the calculation to complete.
1091 2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1093 * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password.
1095 2006-09-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1097 * [shogi-server] Refactored the login procedures.
1099 2006-09-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1101 * [mk_rate] It failed parse draw games. Now this bug has been fixed.
1102 * [mk_html] Add CSS to look better.
1104 2006-09-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1107 - Remove the trip in a password. Now the password is hashed.
1109 - Support @NORATE syntax in a name, which avoids the player is
1112 2006-09-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1115 - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#.
1117 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1120 - Re-design: trip is now a suffix of the password, not name.
1121 - Simplified the output of %%RATING.
1123 - Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same
1124 before-@-names are mapped to one.
1126 2006-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1128 * [mk_rate] Fix a bug. It solves the correct rate.
1130 2006-08-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1132 * [mk_rate] Re-design.
1133 - Correct the equations.
1134 - Apply deaccelerated Newton method.
1136 2006-08-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1139 - Fix a bug. Now it can see black/white players in a csa file.
1141 - Add a space in the output of %%RATING.
1143 2006-08-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1145 * [mk_rate] Record numbers of win/loss games.
1146 * Add mk_html, which generates html from players.yaml
1147 * Fix test/test_board.rb. Now it works.
1148 * Add test/TC_ALL.rb to run all test cases.
1149 * [shogi-server] Fix a bug. Now it can show %%RATING even if it has no

1163 * Fix the max length of the login name with a trip.
1164 * Add a comment line about the rated game status in the CSA file.
1165 * Remove the rating system, which will be calculated by another
1168 2006-08-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1170 * Add a command, %%RATING, to show a ranking sorted by rates.
1172 2006-07-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
