CHANGELOG.md

Roo Code Changelog

[3.3.6]

• Add a "new task" tool that allows Roo to start new tasks with an initial message and mode
• Fix a bug that was preventing the use of qwen-max and potentially other OpenAI-compatible providers (thanks @Szpadel!)
• Add support for perplexity/sonar-reasoning (thanks @Szpadel!)
• Visual fixes to dropdowns (thanks @psv2522!)
• Add the Unbound provider (thanks @vigneshsubbiah16!)

[3.3.5]

• Make information about the conversation's context window usage visible in the task header for humans and in the environment for models (thanks @MuriloFP!)
• Add checkboxes to auto-approve mode switch requests (thanks @MuriloFP!)
• Add new experimental editing tools insert_content (for inserting blocks of text at a line number) and search_and_replace (for replacing all instances of a phrase or regex) to complement diff editing and whole file editing (thanks @samhvw8!)
• Improved DeepSeek R1 support by capturing reasoning from DeepSeek API as well as more OpenRouter variants, not using system messages, and fixing a crash on empty chunks. Still depends on the DeepSeek API staying up but we'll be in a better place when it does! (thanks @Szpadel!)

• Make the UI for nested settings nicer (thanks @PretzelVector!)

  • Create specialized assistants for any workflow
  • Just type "Create a new mode for " or visit the Prompts tab in the top menu to get started
