The latest update is the first in the list.
Next planned major update: 01.Sept.2010.
Core version 319. Updated 03.August.2010. We thank
Katrin Kohler for reporting this issue.
1. Environmental issue fixed - MS Word Hyperlinks in "deleted" state are now correctly processed.
We found out that some file that have localized filenames e.g. "
33-eyjafjallajökull.doc" (in German)
contained a number of hyper links, some of which have been deleted manually (this usually happens when the content is copy-pasted from a wiki
like web source). MS Word Doc is a multi-layered storage and it still contained the info about these hyper links and PD crashed when
it tried to harvest all the hyper links from the document.
We highly recommend not to use the localized filenames when doing tests (not only for the PD software - in any tests)
the reason is that
not any software will correctly work with the reason being - the environment integration and interaction issues.
To maintain backward compatibility we work with MS Word 2000. We also do other tests for Word 2003,2007,2010 but we do stick to 2000 to cover all the
MS Office product line. And the problem is that MS Word 2000 is not able to open "33-eyjafjallajökull.doc" as it contains German language specific symbols in its filename
on a typical US localized Windows 7.
The problem is deeper than it seems - Word 2000 can open this file only if the MS Windows is localized in German. So this is an ENVIRONMENT problem,
not the one of Plagiarism Detector. So I strongly recommend to use generic filenames in Latin or numeric form e.g. "1.doc", "2.doc" etc.

ecoca for his feedback! We have managed to locate and fix the following bugs:
- Bugfix: Plagiarism Detector Main Operation Monitor buffer overflow due to the excessive memory consuming.
- "Opera" browser was not able to correctly process IE javascript PNG fix, so we added a special routine to dynamically detect Opera Browser to solve the issue. We tested the fix on Windows7, but massive stress testing is still ahead.
