v2.9.0

With this new release of Dolos, searching for suspicious code matches just got a little easier!

In #1645 @milachae added functionality to ignore comment tokens from submissions. Comments are often added to "obfuscate" plagiarized code, and could artificially reduce the similarity score. Dolos will now ignore comments by default, but you can re-enable the previous behavior by passing the -C, --include-comments flag to the CLI.

Ignored code, like comments, will now also be visualized with a gray background, thanks to work by @mikaelGusse.

You will also notice that the Web UI will show a request to fill in a quick survey: we are evaluating the effectiveness of Dolos compared to other tools and need your feedback! Please consider taking 5 minutes of your time (at most) to fill in this survey.

🚀 Features

• Exclude the comments in the tokenization step (#1645) @milachae
• Add template code highlighting (#1643) @mikaelGusse
• Add support for OCaml programming language (#1646) @rien
• Ask users to fill in UEQ survey (#1649) @rien

v2.8.0

Dolos is faster again! In PR #1630 we've decimated the time needed to parse code files, halving the time Dolos spends performing an analysis on large datasets 🚀

An important bug is now fixed as well, re-enabling highlighting similar parts in the compare view.

It is now also possible to submitted source code files to ignore through the info.csv file. Which enables support for template code in the API.

This PR is mostly thanks to two new contributors: @mikaelGusse and @milachae. Welcome 🎉

🚀 Features

• Add parsers for Go and Rust (#1633) @rien

• Fix code highlighting bug (#1600) @mikaelGusse
• Fix dolos-web Docker image not using the environment variables correctly (#1582) @rien

This release includes a lot of changes under the hood, but most notably, we've re-introduce ignoring template code and frequently occurring fingerprints (#1524) in the Dolos libraries and CLI. This feature is currently experimental while we are evaluating the effect, before we plan to integrate this in the Web UI. Feel free to test this feature out and let us know the results!

🚀 Features

• [experimental 🧪 ] Add ability to ignore template code or frequently occurring fingerprints (#1524) @rien
• Add support for the Groovy programming language (#1543) @rien

v2.6.0

This release adds a loading page for reports that are still running, this allows external applications to submit a dataset for analysis and immediately redirect users to the report. The web UI will then wait until the report is completed and immediately show the results.

✨ This release of Dolos introduces a new component: dolos-parsers ✨

This new package includes a collection of parsers officially supported by Dolos. Since we have full control over this parser, we can now add support for new languages more quickly. In addition, we support three additional languages out-of-the-box:

• SQL
• R
• modelica

Do you want to use Dolos for a programming language that is not yet supported? Suggest your language here: #1029
