Providing more information about the log

Hi! Thanks for developing DENTIST. As using the software and looking into interesting examples, it will be great if the log file is more readable. For instance, below there are some numbers in the log file and I'm keen to understand what they are. Thanks!

Hi thanks very much for your interesting and your important feedback.

This "sum:" is not intended for users. This has been removed from the new version of DENTIST (please try out our new version which is published on Oct/2023).

For the interpretation of the log, please go to the README of DENTIST.

Let me know if anything that is missed from instruction.

Hi @Yves-CHEN, thanks for the updates! We've tried the new release.

Another puzzling question is what 2537th - 8512th means in the above example. More generally, we noticed that DENTIST will return results on such reported chunk like 2537th - 8512th and the rest of the variants are discarded somewhat silently. Thank you!
