Roo Code 3.11.8 Release Notes (2025-04-05)

This patch release includes performance improvements and UI updates.

Introduction of .roorules Files​

  • Added support for .roorules files (e.g., .roorules for workspace-wide, .roorules-code for mode-specific) as a way to manage custom instructions directly within your project. This provides an alternative to defining instructions solely within the extension's settings UI. A deprecation warning for the older .clinerules file was also added. (Thanks upamune!)
  • Learn more about Custom Instructions and how this applies to Custom Modes.

Changes​

  • Improved combineApiRequests performance to reduce gray screens of death (thanks kyle-apex!).
  • Added searchable dropdown to API config profiles on the settings screen (thanks samhvw8!).
  • Added workspace tracking to history items in preparation for future filtering (thanks samhvw8!).

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed search highlighting UI in history search (thanks samhvw8!).
  • Fixed nodejs version format in .tool-versions file (thanks upamune!).
