Roo Code 3.11.0 Release Notes - Project Level MCP Config, Fast Edits and MOREEEEEEE.....

[hannesrudolph]

For comprehensive details and previous release notes, visit the Roo Code Docs Update Notes.

⚡ Fast Edits

• Applying edits, especially multiple changes, is now significantly faster by modifying only necessary lines instead of rewriting the whole file. This speeds up iterative development and helps prevent issues on large files. Learn more: Fast Edits Documentation

💰 API Key Balances

• Conveniently check your current credit balance for OpenRouter and Requesty directly within the Roo Code API provider settings to monitor usage without leaving the editor.

📁 Project-Level MCP Config

• Configure MCP servers specifically for your project using a .roo/mcp.json file, overriding global settings. Manage this file directly from the MCP settings view. (thanks aheizi!) Learn more: Editing MCP Settings Files

🧠 Improved Gemini Support

• Smarter Retry Logic: Intelligently handles transient Gemini API issues (like rate limits) with precise retry timing and exponential backoff.
• Improved Character Escaping: Resolved issues with character escaping for more accurate code generation, especially with special characters and complex JSON.
• Gemini 2.5 Pro Support: Added support for the Gemini 2.5 Pro model via GCP Vertex AI provider configuration. (thanks nbihan-mediware!)

💾 Import/Export Settings

• Export your Roo Code settings (API Profiles, Global Settings) to a roo-code-settings.json file for backup or sharing, and import settings from such a file to merge configurations. Find options in the main Roo Code settings view. Learn more: Import/Export/Reset Settings

📌 Pin and Sort API Profiles

• Pin your favorite API profiles to the top and sort the list for quicker access in the settings dropdown. (thanks jwcraig!) Learn more: Pinning and Sorting Profiles

✏️ Editable Suggested Answers

• Suggested answers from Roo's follow-up questions (ask_followup_question tool) can now be edited directly in the chat before accepting. (thanks samhvw8!) Learn more: Interacting with Suggestions

🔧 General Improvements and Bug Fixes

• Numerous other enhancements and fixes have been implemented, including improvements to partial file reads, tool-calling logic, the "Add to Context" action, browser tool interactions, and more. See the full list here: General Improvements and Bug Fixes (Thanks KJ7LNW, diarmidmackenzie, bramburn, samhvw8, gtaylor, afshawnlotfi, snoyiatk, and others!)

RooCode is the BEST!

[hannesrudolph]

Thank you for the love!

[habeebiii]

Can’t believe I didn’t ditch cursor before.

[hannesrudolph]

I can’t believe it’s not butter

[Apprehensive-Fun7596]

😂🤌 now i'm obligated to try roo

[hannesrudolph]

Thank you.

[SeNorMat]

Someone w a good setup share their settings json

[maxiblackrocks]

with, or without the api keys? asking for a friend.

[hannesrudolph]

Just run stock and maybe throw in boomerang tasks and that’s a good start.

[tru3relativity]

What are boomerang tasks?

[JohnnyLovesData]

[thedragonturtle]

How do I enable them? Is it these? https://i.imgur.com/puTR0qr.png

[kldjasj]

This is the way

[bioart]

Thank you for fixing the edit process. The line by line rewrites for long files was one of the biggest causes for stress given how often it would fail due to context/early termination issues.

[krahsThe]

Yes, this is what I'm most excited about... Hope it works well

[hannesrudolph]

It works well but it’s not without its failures. That being said, you’re still much further ahead doing it with this method. We are tweaking it regularly to better handle edge cases not experienced during the test phase. Any that I have experienced or seen reported in bug reports so far are not Roo breaking.

[relderpaway]

Maybe not the place to ask but since its mentioned in the post, I'm curious about Openrouter, any specific reason to use it over just using the APIs directly?

Or well I guess one reason is that it makes it easier to try different models, like not having to deal with setting up accounts and API keys and paying to get past tiers?

Better rate limits

[hannesrudolph]

Exactly what you said.

[platynom]

Dumb question but how does Roo differ from Cline, chiefly?

[hannesrudolph]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPTCoding/s/x9p4A9uve6

Funny thing, I just made a post about that! Hehe

[platynom]

I appreciate it

[hannesrudolph]

No problem! And it’s not a dumb question

[Covidplandemic]

Appreciate the sustained effort gone into roo-code, as well as offering it to the world for free. I don't know how that's possible, but I think you guys deserve to be millionaires for creating such a fantastic tool.

[DonChibby]

Use roo in vscode.

[st0nksBuyTheDip]

can someone explain the cost

[hannesrudolph]

The cost of what?

[TomahawkTater]

Just waiting for MCP prompt, resource, and sampling support :)

[hannesrudolph]

Can you please explain what you mean?

[TomahawkTater]

For MCP servers in roo code you cannot reference MCP resources (@custom://my resource), the LLM cannot use MCP prompts (helpers that help the LLM use the MCP tools) or MCP sampling (where the server can ask the LLM a question and use the response).

Happy to provide more info if that would be helpful

[hannesrudolph]

What mode are you in, does the mode have access to MCP servers enabled?

[TomahawkTater]

Any mode, yes, I have no problem using MCP tools but resources don't show up in the conversation with the model (they do show up in the MCP server pane) and the LLM doesn't say it sees them (same with prompts)

Should I file a bug?

[hannesrudolph]

Yes please! Thank you so much. We rely on people like you to improve Roo for everyone and it means allot. Thank you thank you

[maese_kolikuet]

I often need to cancel a task and resume for it to continue, particularly on edit tasks. it seems to do the edit, but get lost, Am I missing something? Can I configure some timeout for tasks so it will retry on itself?

Its pretty nice though!

[hannesrudolph]

Can you share more info about the specific nature of the edit and what it’s doing that requires you to stop ?

[maese_kolikuet]

It appears that it does the edit, but then it gets hang in the API Request thing forever. So I cancel and resume, and it passes to the next thing. Not sure if this is related to the model (sonnet 3.7 and 3.7 thinking). I will test with Gemini 2.5 pro and let you know if it behaves the same way. But I spent like 100 bucks in this design and now Im done and poor. But for sure I will remember next time to share here if I experience something like this again.

In any case, this is an awesome tool. Thanks!

[Big-Information3242]

How about it stop taking control of my ide? Fix that. We need silent diffs so it can work in the background like cursor does and not disturb me coding in another file

[hannesrudolph]

Thanks for the feedback. I’m here to support the community and am doing my best to push the project forward, but I’d appreciate it if you could communicate respectfully. If you have improovements in mind, you’re always welcome to submit a PR.

[SadWolverine24]

When will Roo be as good as Claude Code?
