3 * [shogi-server] Support Fischer Time Control
5 - Fischer time control means that:
6 Before a player has made their move, a specified time increment is
7 added to their clock. Time can be accumulated, so if the player
8 moves within the delay period, their remaining time actually
10 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_clock)
11 - New syntax of game names:
12 An 'F' suffix denotes a Fisher time in seconds. For example,
13 "floodgate-600-10F" specifies
15 + Total allotted time is 600 seconds for each player
16 + 10-second increment before a player's move in a Fischer way
17 - The server now proposes game conditions upon a game start with
18 - "Protocol_Version 1.2"
19 - "Increment:<n>" for Fischer Time Control
20 - Kifu files can include the following comment for Fischer Time
24 2015-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
26 * [shogi-server] Enhance capability of Floodgate configuration file
27 - New parameter: Max_Moves, defined in the CSA protocol
29 - New parameter: Least_Time_Per_Move, defined in the CSA protocol
30 ex. set Least_Time_Per_Move 0
31 - Proposed messages distributed to each player upon starting a new
32 game will include Max_Moves as well as Least_Time_Per_Move.
33 - CSA files produced by the server will include settings of
34 Max_Moves and Least_Time_Per_Move in comment lines as follows:
36 'Least_Time_Per_Move:0
37 - The official Shogi-server on wdoor.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp will
38 be running with different parameters, depending on game names.
39 a) Max_Moves will be 256 for floodgate-600-10 games;
41 b) Least_Time_Per_Move will be 0 for floodgate-600-10 games;
44 * [shogi-server] shogi_server/pairing.rb:
45 - LeastDiff attempts more trials, depending of a number of players
46 to be matched, top achieve more optimized matching combinations.
48 2015-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
50 * [shogi-server] shogi_server/time_clock.rb:
51 - A time consumed could be -1.
52 * The start time of a move is captured after sending a move to a
53 player of the next turn at the end of the giant lock
54 * The end time of the move is captured at the exact time when the
55 server receives it before the giant lock
56 Therefore, end_time < start_time is possible when a player returns a
58 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for reporting this issue.
61 2015-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
64 - Updated to investigate floodgate-600-10 games.
66 http://www.sgtpepper.net/hyspro/diary/20150214.html.
67 - Added a companion R script: histogram.R
69 2015-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
72 - shogi_server/login.rb: When players are logged in, log their
73 player_id if they have it.
75 2015-01-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
78 - Getting an absolute path of this file was wrong if it was a
79 symbolic link. This issue has been addressed.
81 - Links to details pages for players now use a relative path so
82 that it works on a testing site.
84 2015-01-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
87 - shogi-server, shogi_server/{command,game_result,player}.rb:
88 The change at 2014-10-13 was not worked as expected. Reworked.
89 A player, attempting to login with the current live player
90 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
93 2015-01-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
96 - shogi_server.rb: Follow an API change in a upstream class:
97 LogDevice.previous_period_end
99 2014-12-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
102 - When a non-rated player participates in Floodgate, the following exception
103 was thrown and a Floodgate game would not start:
104 undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
105 ["/home/shogi-server/www/x/shogi_server/pairing.rb:499:in `block
106 in calculate_diff_with_penalty'"
107 This issue has been resolved. Only players who have player ID
108 (i.e. those who log in with valid password) are now allowed to
109 participate in Floodgate as the spec web page
110 [http://shogi-server.sourceforge.jp/rating.html] describes.
112 2014-12-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
115 - Addressed Ruby incompatibility on ShogiServer::Usi::alphabetToDan.
116 It (and usiToCsa.rb) did not work with Ruby 1.9.3. This issue
118 Thanks to Hiraoka-san for debugging.
120 2014-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
122 * utils/eval_graph.rb:
123 - Gnuplot 4.6.6 drew evaluation-value lines with a dashed style.
124 This issue has now been addressed so that solid lines are used.
126 2014-11-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
131 2014-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
134 - Ruby 2.0.0 or later is recommended to use with shogi-server
135 since Ruby 1.8 reached its End-of-Life on the end of July, 2014.
137 - Addressed a warning of duplicated range in a regular expression.
139 2014-10-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
142 - A player, attempting to login with the current live player
143 stalling for more than a day, can forcibly override the current
145 - Kifu record files now includes rating scores of players at the
146 time when games start. Previously, for rating games, a record
147 file includes player IDs of both players with a line starting with
148 "'rating". Now it also shows rating scores for players who have
149 valid scores. The formats for black and white players are as
151 'black_rate:<player_id>:<score>
152 'white_rate:<player_id>:<score>
154 'rating:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790
155 'black_rate:Test_sente+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2763.0
156 'white_rate:Test_gote+275876e34cf609db118f3d84b799a790:2345.0
158 2014-10-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
161 - New feature: max moves
162 - New command line option: --max-moves n
163 When a game with the n-th move played does not end, make the
164 game a draw (default 256 in compliance with CSA Protocol V1.2
165 or later). Setting 0 disables this feature for
166 CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
167 - Players will receive a new message, "#MAX_MOVES", upon an end
171 - A new log summary type, "max_moves", has been assigned for games
172 drawing with max moves.
173 'summary:max_moves:name_sente draw:name_gote draw
174 - Least time per move:
175 - New command line option: --least-time-per-move n
176 This option specifies a least time in second per move, which
177 is 0 second by default, meaning that a decimal
178 fraction of time for a move will be truncated in compliance
179 with CSA Protocol V1.2 or later.
180 Set 1 for CSA Protocol V1.1.2 or before.
182 2014-07-19 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
185 - Added a new option, --abnormal-threshold n:
186 Games that end with the 'abnormal' status are counted in
187 win/lost games for the rating calculation if a game plays more
188 than n plies. Otherwise (or if n is zero), abnormal games are
189 counted out of rating games.
191 2014-01-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
194 - Released: Revision "20140107"
196 2013-12-29 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
199 - Previously, parameters in Floodgate time configuration file were
200 not applied to actual instances. This issue has been fixed.
202 2013-12-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
205 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Impose penalty on matches between
208 2013-12-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
211 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
212 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
213 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
214 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
215 already in use - bind(2)".
217 - Released: Revision "20131215"
219 2013-12-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
222 - Added a new program, bin/usiToCsa.rb, which is a bridge for a
223 USI engine to connect to the Shogi-server.
224 - bin/usiToCsa is a sample wrapper script.
226 2013-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
229 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb:
230 - Added a log message.
232 2013-12-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
235 - shogi-server/shogi_server/pairing.rb:
236 - Modified comment for LeastDiff match.
237 - Changed log messages and levels.
239 2013-12-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
242 - shogi_server/pairing.rb, player.rb:
243 Simplify estimated rate of unrated players (less memory).
244 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
245 Now it supports "set sacrifice <player_id>"; it sets a
246 sacrificed player for a specific Floodgate game.
247 ex. set sacrifice gps500+e293220e3f8a3e59f79f6b0efffaa931
249 2013-12-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
252 - Added a new pairing method, ShogiServer::ExcludeUnratedPlayers,
253 which filters out unrated players.
254 - Enhanced syntax of Floodgate time configuration file.
255 Now it supports "set pairing_factory <function_name>"; it sets a
256 factory function name generating a pairing method which will be
257 used in a specific Floodgate game.
258 ex. set pairing_factory floodgate_zyunisen
259 - Implemented conversion of move representation between CSA format
262 2013-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
265 - shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb: Improved robustness against
266 empty file under ruby 1.9.3p194
268 - Previously, reloading in daemon mode failed on
269 ruby 1.9.3p194. This issue has been fixed.
270 - Listen on only IPv4 explicitly. Under ruby 1.9.3p194, without
271 any bind addresses, ruby attempts to listen on both "0.0.0.0"
272 and "::". Specifying "::" on Linux leads to listen on both IPv4
273 and IPv6, which results in a warning message saying "Address
274 already in use - bind(2)".
276 - Fixed for reading Japanese comments under ruby1.9.3p194.
277 * mk_rate-from-grep, mk_rate-grep:
278 - Removed files that are no longer used.
280 2013-11-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
283 - gsl library may be provided as a gem
284 - Now duplicated inputs are checked and skipped.
285 * test/TC_floodgate.rb
286 - Improved randomness check so that it works on Ruby 2.0.0 as well
288 2013-11-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
291 - Added a new option, --ignore, which is imported from
294 - Flush after each output line.
295 * Rleased: Revision "20131104"
297 2013-09-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
300 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
301 When StopWatchClock is used, "Time_Unit:" of starting messages
302 in CSA protocol supplies "1min".
304 2013-04-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
307 - shogi_server/{game,time_clock}.rb:
308 Adds variations of thinking time calculation: ChessClock
309 (current) and StopWatchClock (new).
310 StopWatchClock, which is usually used at official games of human
311 professional players, is a clock where thiking time less than a
312 miniute is regarded as zero.
313 To select StopWatchClock, use a special game name with "060"
314 byoyomi time. ex. "gamename_1500_060".
316 2013-03-31 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
319 - %%FORK command: %%FORK <source_game> [<new_buoy_game>] [<nth-move>]
320 The new_buoy_game parameter is now optional. If it is not
321 supplied, Shogi-server generates a new buoy game name from
323 - command.rb: More elaborate error messages for the %%GAME command.
325 2013-03-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
328 - New pairing algorithm: ShogiServer::Pairing::LeastDiff
329 This pairing algorithm aims to minimize the total differences of
330 matching players' rates. It also includes penalyties when a match
331 is same as the previous one or a match is between human players.
332 It is based on a discussion with Yamashita-san on
333 http://www.sgtpepper.net/kaneko/diary/20120511.html.
335 2013-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
338 - New command: %%FORK <source_game> <new_buoy_game> [<nth-move>]
339 Fork a new game from the posistion where the n-th (starting from
340 one) move of a source game is played. The new game should be a
341 valid buoy game name. The default value of n is the position
342 where the previous position of the last one.
343 - The objective of this command: The shogi-server may be used as
344 the back end server of computer-human match where a human player
345 plays with a real board and someone, or a proxy, inputs moves to
346 the shogi-server. If the proxy happens to enter a wrong move,
347 with this command you can restart a new buoy game from the
348 previous stable position.
349 ex. %%FORK server-denou-14400-60+p1+p2+20130223185013 buoy_denou-14400-60

401 year day by reading configuration files did not work correctly.
402 This issue has been fixed.
404 2011-12-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
407 - shogi_server/board.rb, piece.rb: Refactoring to cache OU pieces,
408 which was inspired by 81SquareShogi-server's change
409 (74b24b88c843f1dd767412475b117481d1d5e8eb).
410 - Added shogi-server-profile to take profile of shogi-server.

437 - mk_rate: the usage was not updated.
438 Thanks to Hoki-san to report this issue. (Closes: #23358)
440 2010-09-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
443 - shogi_server/board.rb, game.rb: For hadicapped games, wrong
444 initial positions were delivered to players and monitors. This
445 issue has been fixed. (Closes: #23245)
446 Thanks to HIDETCHI for reporting the issue.
448 2010-09-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
451 - shogi_server/login.rb: Enhanced the CSA Login mode.
452 Logging in the server with the CSA mode, users are now allowed to
453 specify a turn preference in an enhanced gamename string which
454 looks like <gamename>-<time>-<time>-<turn>. The first three
455 parts are a regular game definition. The last "-<turn>"
457 + Without -<turn> (i.e. same as the previous behavior), there
458 is no turn preference. A user's turn will be defined randomly.
459 + <turn> is either "B" for black or "W" for white.
461 2010-09-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
464 - shogi_server/{board,command,game,league,player}.rb
465 The Buoy behavior is changed.
466 + Starting a buoy game, players are notified a starting game
467 position with the initial position and moves, instead of a
469 + Players are allowed to start buoy games with specific turns.
470 ex. %%GAME buoy_foo-1500-0 +
472 2010-08-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
475 - shogi_server/command.rb: Prevent a possible password from be
476 logged in a log file when players send invalid LOGIN-like commands.
477 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for this idea.
479 2010-08-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
482 - sample/{check_file.rb,check_time.rb,check_time2.rb,test_time.rb}:
483 Added new files to test an issue where mtime of log files was
484 earlier than system time.
485 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: SetupFloodgate#start
486 now returns an instance correctly.
487 - ../shogi_server.rb, ../shogi_server/util.rb: Refactored
488 mkdir_for to Mkdir.mkdir_for.
489 - ../shogi_server/game.rb: mkdir_p will be performed in a global
490 mutex of ShogiServer::Mkdir.
492 2010-07-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
495 - shogi_server/command.rb:
496 + For an unknown error command log, an empty line is no longer logged.
497 + Commands specific to 81Dojo, starting with '%%%', are just
498 ignored instead of unknown command errors.
500 + Refactoring. Added test/TC_logger.rb to test
501 ShogiServer::Logger class.
502 + Fixed race condition: creating a new directory to archive
503 logs may have caused race condition, which ended up with
504 making the server unavailable. This issue has been fixed.
506 + Improved fault tolerance of the server.
508 2010-07-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
511 - shogi_server/league/floodgate_thread.rb: When the server run
512 with DEBUG mode, it ended up with an undefined variable error.
513 This issue has been fixed.
515 2010-07-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
518 - shogi_server.rb, shogi_server/board.rb, shogi_server/move.rb
519 - Refactoring: Board can now move_to() and move_back() a move
520 instead of deep_copy().
522 2010-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
525 - shogi_server/player.rb: Set initial values to BasicPlayer's
527 - shogi_server/league.rb: Improved performance of
528 Persistant#get_players. It took about 20 seconds for a large
529 size of players (5,300 lines in players.yaml). Now it completes in an
532 2010-06-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
535 - A new command line option:
536 --floodgate-names GameStringA[,GameStringB[,...]]
537 where a game string should be a valid game name such as
540 Note: Without this option, no floodgate games are started. If
541 you want floodgate-900-0 to run, which was default enabled in
542 previous versions, you need to specify the game name in this new
544 - Floodgate time configuration file:
545 You need to set starting times of floodgate groups in
546 configuration files under the top directory. Each floodgate
547 group requires a corresponding configuration file named
548 "<game_name>.conf". The file will be re-read once just after a
551 For example, a floodgate-3600-30 game group requires
552 floodgate-3600-30.conf. However, for floodgate-900-0 and
553 floodgate-3600-0, which were default enabled in previous
554 versions, configuration files are optional if you are happy with
555 default time settings.

587 - Previously mk_rate did not count in draw games. Now a draw game
588 is considered to weight 0.5 win and 0.5 loss. Respect
589 Inaniwa-shogi which strategically aims to draw.
590 - a new command line option, --skip-draw-games. In this mode, draw
591 games are just ignored as mk_rate previously did.
593 2010-04-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
596 - shogi_server/player.rb:
597 Log a warning message in a case that a player closes a
600 2010-04-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
603 - shogi_server/command.rb:
604 Equality of MonitorHandler class was wrong. %%MONITOROFF and
605 %%MONITOR2OFF may cause unexpected behavior. This issue has been
606 fixed. Thanks to Kota Fujiwara for reporting.
608 2010-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
611 - If two sequential moves from a player are identical, the last
612 one will be ignored and a game is in play. This situation might
613 happen with human players, especially on slow network,
614 impatiently sending a move twice.
616 2010-02-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
619 - The server now provides more accurate time control. Previously,
620 a player's thinking time included a time waiting to get the giant
621 lock. This may have caused games to time up, especially, during
624 2010-01-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
627 - Experimental feature: support handicapped games.
628 Game names that have the following prefixes are recognized as
629 handicapped games. Turn symbols "+" and "-" mean Uwate (expert)
630 and Shitate (beginner) respectively (i.e. Uwate players first).
631 "*" is not available.
641 2010-01-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
644 - shogi_server/command.rb, test/TC_command.rb
645 Proposal implementation of a new command called MONITOR2{ON,OFF}.
646 When the MONITOR2ON command is issued by a player, the server
647 immediately sends the player the entire contents of a record
648 file of the game, i.e. history of moves and so on, at that time.
649 Then, the server will forward subsequent moves like they are
650 appended to the record file.
651 - Behavior changed: A player monitoring a game with MONITORON will
652 not receive Game#show again when a gaming player resigns (:toryo).
654 2010-01-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
656 * Converted the repository from Subversion to Git.
658 2009-12-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
661 - The server can now provide multiple floodgate modes such as
662 floodgate-900-0 and floodgate-3600-0.
664 2009-12-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
667 - shogi-server: The command line option --floodgate-history has
668 been deprecated. The server will decide history file names such
669 as 'floodgate_history_900_0.yaml' and
670 'floodgate_history_3600_0.yaml', and then put them in the top
673 2009-12-20 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
676 - shogi_server/player.rb: Added new methods: is_human? and
678 A human player is recommended to use a name ending with '_human'.
679 ex. 'hoge_human', 'hoge_human@p1'
680 - shogi_server/pairing.rb: Added a new class:
681 StartGameWithoutHumans, which tries to make pairs trying to
682 avoid a human-human match. This is now enabled instead of the
683 previous class: StartGame.
684 - shogi-server, shogi_server/league/floodgate.rb:
685 Changed the argument of Floodgate.new.
687 2009-12-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
690 - The HUP signal is not supported by Ruby on Windows.
692 2009-11-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
695 - Added a new command line option: --base-date. You can specify a
696 base date to calculate rating scores. Games in the `future' are
697 ignored for the calculation.
699 2009-11-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
702 - The server logs a result of each game to a file named '00LIST',
703 which will be used to generate players.yaml. If the file does
704 not exist, the server will create one automatically.
705 Instruction to use the game result list file:
706 1. Make a list of game results from existing CSA files with
708 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
709 2. Run the server. It appends a result of each game to
710 '00LIST' when the game finishes.
711 3. From the list of game results, calculate rating scores of
713 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
715 2009-11-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
718 - Split a pre-process collecting game results from csa files into
719 a new command, mk_game_results. Now, Generating players.yaml
720 requires two steps as follows:
721 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files > 00LIST
722 % ./mk_rate 00LIST > players.yaml
724 % ./mk_game_results dir_of_csa_files | ./mk_rate > players.yaml
727 2009-08-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
730 - A experimental new feature, codenamed Buoy: it allows players to
731 play a game starting with a specified position. First, a player
732 sets a buoy game with moves to a specific position. Then, two
733 players can play a new game with the game name.
735 + %%SETBUOY <game_name> <moves> [count]
737 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-900-0 +7776FU 10
738 ex. %%SETBUOY buoy_foo-1500-0 +7776FU-3334FU
739 - game_name is a valid game name with a prefix "buoy_".
741 - moves are initial moves from the Hirate position to a
742 specific position that you want to start with.
743 ex. +7776FU-3334FU+8786FU
744 - count is an optional attribute to tell how many times the
745 game can be played (default 1). The count is decremented
746 when the game finishes. If the count reaches zero, the buoy
747 game is removed automatically by the server.
749 + %%DELETEBUOY <game_name>
750 Delete a buoy game. The only owner who set up the game is
751 allowed to delete it.
752 ex. %%DELETEBUOY buoy_foo-900-0
753 - game_name is the buoy game name that was created.
754 + %%GETBUOYCOUNT <game_name>
755 Show a current count of the buoy game or -1 for non-existing
759 2009-07-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
762 - shogi_server/command.rb: refactored commands out of player.rb.
764 2009-06-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
767 - An empty floodgate_history.yaml caused a server error. This
768 issue has been fixed.
771 2009-06-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
774 - If a new game matched between two players is not started within
775 a certain time (default 120 seconds) (i.e. the agree_waiting or
776 start_waiting state lasts too long), the Server REJECTs the game.
779 2009-06-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
782 - When a Gote player AGREEd a new game and then a Sente player
783 logged out (LOGOUT), the Gote incorrectly received a LOGOUT message
784 from the server. Since Gote's state was not AGREEd or STARTed yet,
785 the Gote should be REJECTed. This issue has been fixed.
788 2009-06-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
791 - The Board could not recognize a certain pattern of
792 Oute-Sennichite. This issue has been fixed.
795 2009-03-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
797 * [utils/correct-bug14635.rb]
798 - Added a new file. This program corrects illegal lines introduced
801 2009-03-07 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
804 - Improved performance.
806 2009-02-15 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
809 - A duplicated comment that is the one of the previous (or older)
810 move might be erroneously recorded in a csa file. This issue has
811 been fixed. (Closes: #15080)
813 2009-02-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
815 * [utils/csa-filter.rb]
816 - Added a new file. This program filters CSA files.
818 2009-02-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
821 - The shogi-server records csa files of games in an illegal
822 format. This issue has been fixed. (Closes: #14635)
823 - A ##[MONITOR] command for showing a game result such as %TORYO
824 was not correct. This issue has been fixed.
826 2009-01-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
829 - It failed to proccess a game result, OuteKaihiMoreWin where a
830 checked king does not escape. This issue has been fixed.
832 2009-01-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
835 - shogi_server/timeout_queue.rb: the timeout parameter of the
836 constructor was not respected erroneously. This issue
838 - shogi_server/players.rb: When a player was finishing with its
839 write socket broken, there was a chance that the thread of the
840 player in the giant lock had to wait for a long time (about 20
841 seconds), which might cause threads of other players stop and
842 time out. (Closes: #14469)
844 2008-12-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
847 - Added a new option: --footer filename, which inserts contents of
848 the filename at the bottom of a generated page. A text specific to
849 wdoor should be written by using this option.
851 - It does no more depend on RDoc. RDoc::usage does not work well
854 2008-12-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
857 - Check kifu files more carefully so that files that contain
858 incomplete records are skipped.
859 - mk_rate might have failed to alloc due to out of memory. Now it
860 consumes less memory (about 200MB instead of 2GB).
861 - File names can be put into STDIN instead of specifying directory
862 names in command line arguments.
864 - New file. It filters kifu files and is of use for a pre-filter
867 2008-12-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
870 - Improved an existance check and etc. of directories specified
871 by command line options, especially in case of the daemon mode.
873 - A rotated log file is moved to $topdir/YYYY/MM/DD.
876 2008-11-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
879 - Added sample/*.sh for command line samples.
881 2008-11-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
884 - Added a new option --floodgate-history, which allows users to
885 specify a file name that stores the records of games. The
886 records are taken care of when games are matched.
888 2008-10-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
890 * [utils/eval_graph.rb]
891 - Display time control graphs as well.
892 Thanks to Nishimura-san for this idea.
895 2008-10-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
898 - Ruby 1.8.7 (or later) must be used. Ruby 1.8.6 is not supported.
899 - Daemon mode is available.
900 - shogi_server/piece_ky.rb is again merged with
901 shogi_server/piece.rb, then has been removed.
902 - Added a test case, TC_usi.rb.
904 2008-06-30 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
907 - Added a new option --player-log-dir, which allows users to log
908 messages that are received or sent to the wire.
910 2008-06-28 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
913 - A rating comment line is now written before the first move in a
914 record file instead of after the last move, which allows other
915 applications watching a game to recognize players in the middle
916 of the game. (Closes #12821)
917 - If a player, including a monitor, stuck at the time of sending
918 messages to the wire, which means that the giant lock was locked,
919 it might have prevented other players from processing until
920 timeout occurred. This issue has been fixed. (Closes #12555)
922 2008-06-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
925 - Pairing players might not have shuffled players because of
926 poor shuffling algorithm. This issue has been fixed.
929 2008-06-25 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
932 - Check invalid arguments. (Closes: #12856)
934 2008-06-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
937 - Added a new option: --fixed-rate and --fixed-rate-player
938 whose rate always results in that rate. (Closes: #12800)
940 2008-06-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
943 - The source has been splited to multiple sub files.
944 - The program now depends on rubygems and activesupport.
945 - The program can reload the source files on the flight, by
946 sending a HUP signal to the server.
947 - The server log will be rotated daily.
949 2008-05-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
952 - Last game results (win or lose) of x1 players were not
953 available on the next game. This issue has been fixed.
954 Thanks to Tomoyuki Kaneko for debugging.
955 - For draw games, "'rating" line in a .csa file was
956 wrong (meaningless). This issue has been fixed.
958 2008-05-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
961 - The repository has been converted from CVS to Subversion.
963 2008-05-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
966 - Floodgate's thread could cause an error when players.yaml was
967 cleared by another program (mk_rate). This issue has been
969 - Give default values to BasicPlayer, which fixed undefined
970 method error in Pairing.
972 2008-05-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
975 - The server could not recognize uchifuzume as an illegal move.
976 This bug has been fixed.
977 - The server crashed by an undefined method error.
978 This issue has been fixed.
980 2008-05-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
983 - .csa files will be located in a sub directory such as
984 "2008/05/05/*.csa". These days, we have many games in a day.
985 This change will help users browse a file list.
987 2008-05-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
990 - Show players who have accessed in the last 30 minutes with
993 2008-04-22 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
996 - When YSS was not rated on the wdoor mode, wrong rate24 scores
997 were displayed. This issue has been fixed. Now YSS absence
1000 2008-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1003 - The half-life period is now configurable.
1004 ex $ ./mk_rate --half-life 14 --half-life-ignore 7 <records>
1006 2008-04-12 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1009 - Renamed variables (@id) since they caused Ruby's warning.
1011 2008-04-11 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1014 - Improved a way to handle diferred moves (2008-03-24's change),
1015 based on Tomoyuki Kaneko's patch.
1017 2008-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1020 - An incorrect LOGIN crashed the server. This issue has been
1023 2008-03-24 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1026 - Converting characters for comments in moves caused an error. This
1027 issue has been fixed.
1028 - If a player moves in the opponent's turn, it is illegal. But the
1029 current CSA protocol does not clearly define a way to tell so to
1030 the players. This shogi-server internally keeps such a move in a
1031 buffer and replay it when the player of the move gets his/her
1034 2008-03-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1037 - Erroneously, Board#to_s's current player was always Black.
1038 It caused wrong determination of sennichite since it did not
1039 care about the current player of a state. This has been fixed.
1040 Thanks Takada-san for reporting this bug.
1042 2008-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1044 * [util/players-graph.rb]
1045 - Applied Kaneko-san's patch, which also shows expected-rate24
1047 - Small PNG gets smaller.
1049 2008-03-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1052 - Added an option --wdoor. In this mode, a rate expected at Shogi
1053 Club 24 is calculated from YSS's rating (he is 2400 now).
1055 2008-03-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1058 - If the computed ratings do not stabilize, then mk_rate aborts.
1059 $ ./mk_rate dir && ./mk_rate dir > players.yaml
1060 can avoid rewriting the invalid ratings to the file.
1062 2008-02-23 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1065 - A comment is converted to EUC-JP and then written in a log.
1066 Note that this conversion guesses the input encoding. Clients
1067 are recommended to send EUC-JP compatible strings to the
1070 2008-02-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1072 * [util/players-graph.rb]
1073 - Released. Draw a chart for a player's rating score.
1075 2008-02-17 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1078 - An illegal teban specified for Floodgate login could crash the
1079 server. This issue has been fixed.
1081 2008-02-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1084 - Thread.abort_on_exception is now false, meaning that
1085 a thread's abort does not affect the others.
1086 - The uchifuzume check did not generate promoting moves, which
1087 could crash the server with illegal moves. This issue has
1090 2008-02-14 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1093 - Added a new pairing variation, Swiss-like style. Winners at the
1094 previous games (his/her point of view, not the server's) are
1095 paired first, and then the others are matched. This is the
1097 - Pairing classes are located in a separate source file,
1098 pairing.rb. The file is 'load'ed each time to be used,
1099 meaning that modifying the code will be applied to a running
1101 - You can specify a single player who will be out of pairing
1102 when there are odd players waiting for Floodgate.
1104 2008-02-13 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1107 - When there are odd players wating for Floodgate, the random
1108 pairing deletes the player who has ever played the most games.
1110 2008-02-08 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1113 - For the Not-Yet-Rated group, those who have not connected
1114 recently are not listed.
1116 - Floodgate's thread checks the current time each 10 secs.
1118 2008-02-05 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1120 * [mk_rate] [mk_html]
1121 - Display not-yet-rated players as well.
1123 - Use Yahoo! UI Library.
1125 2008-02-04 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1127 * [shogi-server] [webserver]
1128 - In the daemon mode, if the specified directory was a relative
1129 path, the server could fail to start with a permission denied
1130 error. This issue has been fixed. The path is interpreted as
1131 an absolute path before switching to daemon.
1132 - In the daemon mode, a wrong process id was written in
1133 '--pid-file'. This issue has been fixed. Also, the pid file
1134 will be removed when the server shuts down.
1136 2008-02-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1139 - Game names that are recognized as the floodgate mode are now
1140 /^floodgate-\d+-\d+$/.
1141 - Floodgate could not schedule the next time when it was the next
1142 day. This issue has been fixed.
1144 2008-02-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1147 - Implemented a new feature, Floodgate mode, for covenience with
1148 public rating games. Now there is a special game "wdoor-900-0".
1149 Matching players for that game is scheduled each 30 minitues.
1151 2007-11-03 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1154 - Support Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111 (or higher) and GSL 1.10 (or higher).
1155 It may not work with lower verions.
1157 2007-09-06 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1160 - The logic to detect Oute-Sennichite was not complete. Both players
1161 (checking side and escaping side) may cause Oute-Sennichite. The old
1162 logic only cared for the checking player. This issue has been fixed.
1164 2007-06-16 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1167 - Initial version. This web server is an interface between HTTP and
1168 shogi-server. Shogi-server commands will be available over HTTP. As
1169 of now %%LIST and %%WHO commands are supported.
1171 - Bumped up GAME_LIMIT (from 10) to 15 because the calculation of
1172 rates sometimes went wrong (infinite values).
1174 2007-04-21 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1177 - Implemented `CHALLENGE' command, and the server will respond with
1178 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED'. Note that this command is dummy for this server
1179 because it is only available for CSA's official testing server and does
1180 not belong to the CSA standard protocol. Therefor, when clients receive
1181 `CHALLENGE ACCEPTED' from this server, they must ignore it.
1182 - Show revision in a start up message.
1184 2007-04-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1187 - Implemented one of the keepalive protocol in CSA protocol; If clients
1188 send LF, the server sends back LF.
1189 - More care for socket errors.
1191 2007-03-27 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1193 * [mk_rate] When there were too few games to rate players (i.e. no
1194 player to rate), mk_rate caused an error. Now it no longer shows
1197 2007-03-10 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1199 * [mk_html] Popup shows additional information.
1201 2007-03-02 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1204 - Use WEBrick for server framework.
1205 - Daemon mode is available.
1207 2007-02-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1210 - Failed to show usage. This issue has been fixed.
1211 - Initial start of the server failed beacause of empty players.yaml.
1212 This issues has been fixed.
1214 2007-02-18 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1217 - Show groups in the order specified in players.html.
1218 - Players who gamed recently have a background color.
1220 - Implemented half-life effect. Numbers of win/lose decrease by this effect.
1222 2006-11-26 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
1224 * [shogi-server] Sente (gote) was able to move gote's (sente's) hand.
1225 That move should be illegal. This issue has been fixed.
1227 2006-11-01 Daigo Moriwaki <daigo at debian dot org>
