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.

22 - Ruby 2.0.0 or later is recommended to use with shogi-server
23 since Ruby 1.8 reached its End-of-Life on the end of July, 2014.
25 - Addressed a warning of duplicated range in a regular expression.
27 2014-07-19 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
30 - Added a new option, --abnormal-threshold n:
31 Games that end with the 'abnormal' status are counted in
32 win/lost games for the rating calculation if a game plays more
33 than n plies. Otherwise (or if n is zero), abnormal games are
34 counted out of rating games.
36 2014-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
39 - Released: Revision "20140107"
41 2013-12-29 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
44 - Previously, parameters in Floodgate time configuration file were
45 not applied to actual instances. This issue has been fixed.
47 2013-12-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
50 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Impose penalty on matches between
53 2013-12-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
56 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
57 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
58 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
59 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
60 already in use - bind(2)".
62 - Released: Revision "20131215"
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
98 2013-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
101 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
102 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
104 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
105 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
106 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
107 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
108 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
109 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
110 already in use - bind(2)".
112 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
113 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
114 - Removed files that are no longer used.
116 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
119 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
120 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
121 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
122 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
124 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
127 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
130 - Flush after each output line.
131 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
133 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
136 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
137 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
138 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
140 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
143 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
144 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
145 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
146 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
147 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
148 miniute is regarded as zero.
149 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
150 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
152 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
155 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
156 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
157 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
159 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
161 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
164 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
165 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
166 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
167 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
168 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
169 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
171 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
174 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
175 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
176 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
177 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
178 where the previous position of the last one.
179 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
180 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
181 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
182 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
183 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
184 previous stable position.
185 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60

238 This issue has been fixed.
240 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
243 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
244 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
245 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
246 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.

273 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
274 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
276 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
279 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
280 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
281 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
282 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
284 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
287 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
288 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
289 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
290 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
291 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
293 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
294 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
295 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
297 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
300 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
301 The Buoy behavior is changed.
302 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
303 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
305 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
306 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
308 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
311 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
312 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
313 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
315 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
318 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
319 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
320 earlier than system time.
321 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
322 now returns an instance correctly.
323 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
324 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
325 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
326 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
328 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
331 - shogi_server/command.rb:
332 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
333 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
334 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
336 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
337 ShogiServer::Logger class.
338 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
339 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
340 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
342 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
344 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
347 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
348 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
349 This issue has been fixed.
351 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
354 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
355 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
356 instead of deep_copy().
358 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
361 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
363 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
364 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
365 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
368 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
371 - A new command line option:
372 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
373 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
376 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
377 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
378 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
380 - Floodgate time configuration file:
381 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
382 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
383 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
384 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
387 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
388 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
389 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
390 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
391 default time settings.

411 - shogi_server/command.rb: Fixed an issue that MONITOR2OFF did not
412 work. Thanks to HIDECHI and koudayu.
414 2010-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
417 - test/*.rb: Improved performance and stability of tests
418 - shogi_server/player.rb: Help the write_thread to terminate
420 2010-05-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
423 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
424 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
425 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
426 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
427 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
429 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
432 - shogi_server/player.rb:
433 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
436 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
439 - shogi_server/command.rb:
440 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
441 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
442 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
444 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
447 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
448 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
449 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
450 impatiently sending a move twice.
452 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
455 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
456 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
457 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
460 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
463 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
464 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
465 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
466 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
467 "*" is not available.
477 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
480 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
481 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
482 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
483 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
484 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
485 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
486 appended to the record file.
487 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
488 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
490 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
492 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
494 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
497 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
498 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
500 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
503 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
504 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
505 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
506 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
509 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
512 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
514 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
515 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
516 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
517 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
518 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
519 previous class: StartGame.
520 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
521 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
523 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
526 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
528 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
531 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
532 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
533 ignored for the calculation.
535 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
538 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
539 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
540 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
541 Instruction to use the game result list file:
542 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
544 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
545 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
546 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
547 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
549 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
551 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
554 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
555 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
556 requires two steps as follows:
557 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
558 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
560 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
563 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
566 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
567 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
568 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
569 players can play a new game with the game name.
571 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
573 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
574 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
575 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
577 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
578 specific position that you want to start with.
579 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
580 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
581 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
582 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
583 game is removed automatically by the server.
585 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
586 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
587 allowed to delete it.
588 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
589 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
590 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
591 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
595 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
598 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
600 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
603 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
604 issue has been fixed.

610 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
611 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
612 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
615 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
618 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
619 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
620 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
621 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
624 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
627 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
628 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
631 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
633 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
634 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
637 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
640 - Improved performance.
642 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
645 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
646 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
647 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
649 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
651 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
652 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
654 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
657 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
658 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
659 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
660 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
662 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
665 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
666 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
668 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
671 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
672 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
674 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
675 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
676 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
677 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
678 time out. (Closes: #14469)
680 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
683 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
684 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
685 wdoor should be written by using this option.
687 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
690 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
693 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
694 incomplete records are skipped.
695 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
696 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
697 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
698 names in command line arguments.
700 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
703 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
706 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
707 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
709 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
712 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
715 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
717 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
720 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
721 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
722 records are taken care of when games are matched.
724 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
726 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
727 - Display time control graphs as well.
728 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
731 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
734 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
735 - Daemon mode is available.
736 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
737 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
738 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
740 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
743 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
744 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
746 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
749 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
750 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
751 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
752 of the game. (Closes #12821)
753 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
754 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
755 it might have prevented other players from processing until
756 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
758 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
761 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
762 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
765 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
768 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
770 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
773 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
774 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
776 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
779 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
780 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
781 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
782 sending a HUP signal to the server.
783 - The server log will be rotated daily.
785 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
788 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
789 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
790 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
791 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
792 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
794 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
797 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
799 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
802 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
803 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
805 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
806 method error in Pairing.
808 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
811 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
812 This bug has been fixed.
813 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
814 This issue has been fixed.
816 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
819 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
820 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
821 This change will help users browse a file list.
823 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
826 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
829 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
832 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
833 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
836 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
839 - The half-life period is now configurable.
840 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
842 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
845 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
847 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
850 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
851 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
853 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
856 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
859 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
862 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
863 issue has been fixed.
864 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
865 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
866 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
867 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
870 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
873 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
874 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
875 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
876 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
878 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
880 * [util/players-graph.rb]
881 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
883 - Small PNG gets smaller.
885 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
888 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
889 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
891 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
894 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
895 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
896 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
898 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
901 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
902 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
903 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
906 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
908 * [util/players-graph.rb]
909 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
911 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
914 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
915 server. This issue has been fixed.
917 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
920 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
921 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
922 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
923 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
926 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
929 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
930 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
931 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
933 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
934 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
935 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
937 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
938 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
940 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
943 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
944 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
946 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
949 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
950 recently are not listed.
952 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
954 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
956 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
957 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
959 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
961 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
963 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
964 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
965 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
966 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
967 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
968 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
969 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
970 will be removed when the server shuts down.
972 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
975 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
976 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
977 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
978 day. This issue has been fixed.
980 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
983 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
984 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
985 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
987 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
990 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
991 It may not work with lower verions.
993 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
996 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
997 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
998 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
1000 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1003 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
1004 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
1005 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
1007 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
1008 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
1010 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1013 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
1014 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
1015 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
1016 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
1017 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
1018 - Show revision in a start up message.
1020 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1023 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
1024 send LF, the server sends back LF.
1025 - More care for socket errors.
1027 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1029 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
1030 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
1033 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1035 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
1037 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1040 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
1041 - Daemon mode is available.
1043 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1046 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
1047 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
1048 This issues has been fixed.
1050 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1053 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
1054 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
1056 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
1058 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1060 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
1061 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
1063 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1065 * [mk_rate] Skip "abnormal" games, which were finished because of
1066 network failure or communication error. Recently some programs seem
1067 to have a lot of tries to connect to the Shogi Server at wdoor for
1068 debugging. We should ignore such games for a while to get a meaningful
1071 2006-10-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1073 * [mk_rate][mk_html]
1074 - Put players into "connected" groups in order to
1075 show a correct, meaningful rating. In the group, each player has at
1076 least a game with other players.
1077 - The format of players.yaml was updated.
1078 * [shogi-server] Followed the new format of players.yaml.
1080 2006-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1082 * [mk_rate] Corrected making win_loss_matrix.
1084 2006-10-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1086 * [mk_rate] players who never win or lose are not rated in order
1087 the calculation to complete.
1089 2006-09-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1091 * [shogi-server] The CSA mode supports the trip in a password.
1093 2006-09-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1095 * [shogi-server] Refactored the login procedures.
1097 2006-09-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1099 * [mk_rate] It failed parse draw games. Now this bug has been fixed.
1100 * [mk_html] Add CSS to look better.
1102 2006-09-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1105 - Remove the trip in a password. Now the password is hashed.
1107 - Support @NORATE syntax in a name, which avoids the player is
1110 2006-09-09 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1113 - Support a new command, %%VERSION. It shows the server's revision#.
1115 2006-09-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1118 - Re-design: trip is now a suffix of the password, not name.
1119 - Simplified the output of %%RATING.
1121 - Support "@" indentificaton in a name; players with same
1122 before-@-names are mapped to one.
1124 2006-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1126 * [mk_rate] Fix a bug. It solves the correct rate.
1128 2006-08-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1130 * [mk_rate] Re-design.
1131 - Correct the equations.
1132 - Apply deaccelerated Newton method.
1134 2006-08-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1137 - Fix a bug. Now it can see black/white players in a csa file.
1139 - Add a space in the output of %%RATING.
1141 2006-08-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1143 * [mk_rate] Record numbers of win/loss games.
1144 * Add mk_html, which generates html from players.yaml
1145 * Fix test/test_board.rb. Now it works.
1146 * Add test/TC_ALL.rb to run all test cases.
1147 * [shogi-server] Fix a bug. Now it can show %%RATING even if it has no

1161 * Fix the max length of the login name with a trip.
1162 * Add a comment line about the rated game status in the CSA file.
1163 * Remove the rating system, which will be calculated by another
1166 2006-08-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1168 * Add a command, %%RATING, to show a ranking sorted by rates.
1170 2006-07-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
