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.
