Update notes - T0nyX1ang/PlagChecker4Python GitHub Wiki

Welcome to the PlagChecker4Python wiki! Here you can see the update notes.

Update Notes:

Use functions instead of pipes to show messages. Thus a few codes have been changed.
Remove some redundant lines.
Notice: GVdiffcheck.sh will be merged into main file diffcheck.sh in next version. According to the speed check, it is faster than the original files by 10%.

Change methods to judge total files.
Notice: We are developing a method to merge those steps together and make our codes simpler, so here is our testing file: GVdiffcheck.sh, which means Grep Version of diffcheck. Those pipes really hit us a lot.

Making help lines in a function to shorten codes.
Changing the code to fit in with more parameters. Note that you only need to follow the rules, and latest instructions will override old ones. Here is an example:

./diffcheck.sh -l -q -u -v -u -n -S=96 -s

is equal to

./diffcheck.sh -u -s

Add more detailed statistics descriptions in the summary and somewhat change the format.
NOTICE: The final version is coming soon, after those parameters are working fine after simplifying some codes.

Add a $FORMATTER to take place in displaying messages instead of using if-condition clauses. (Although this operation will make the process a bit longer.)
Recover the styles of displaying messages in Version 0.4.1.

Add a feature to let user decide $REJECT_LINE_SCORE. And if this fails, an error message will be shown.
Enable colors in parameter checking.
Change message displays in quiet mode(-q), showing those error messages now.

Make parameters to let user judge checking criterion. You can use -q/u/v to adjust verbosity, -l/n/s to adjust $REJECT_LINE_SCORE, -h to invoke help. Default criterion will be -u -v (if you use it as before). See help to get more infomation.
Change some infomation conditions according to the parameter.
Add a help inside the program.
NOTICE: The increasing code lines are really annoying. We are planning to use another language with the core features in the program in future versions.

Fix a bug in color demonstration.
Add a summary feature by comparing last modified time to conduct the copyer and copyee.
Remove the sleeping feature when detecting a plagiarism code and substitute it with a screen clear.
NOTICE: We will make parameters to let user judge checking criterion.

Set bash directory to /bin/bash
Change default $REJECT_LINE_SCORE to 70.
Enable colors to extinguish different message types. [Info] is green. [Suspected] is yellow. [Detected] and [Error] is red.

Fix a bug in detecting and deleting log files.
Change methods in detecting suspected plagiarism in Step 3. Use scores to judge.
Change a bit of log file contents.
NOTICE: There is a potential defect: this code can't detect spaces well, so a file with elaborated construction might go wrong in certain cases. Handle this with care!
