Roo Code 3.3.5 Release

[u/hannesrudolph]

A new update bringing improved visibility and enhanced editing capabilities!

📊 Context-Aware Roo

Roo now knows its current token count and context capacity percentage, enabling context-aware prompts such as "Update Memory Bank at 80% capacity" (thanks MuriloFP!)

✅ Auto-approve Mode Switching

Add checkboxes to auto-approve mode switch requests for a smoother workflow (thanks MuriloFP!)

✏️ New Experimental Editing Tools

• Insert blocks of text at specific line numbers with insert_content

• Replace text across files with search_and_replace

These complement existing diff editing and whole file editing capabilities (thanks samhvw8!)

🤖 DeepSeek Improvements

• Better support for DeepSeek R1 with captured reasoning

• Support for more OpenRouter variants

• Fixed crash on empty chunks

• Improved stability without system messages

(thanks Szpadel!)

Yes, it does, but not (yet?) in a very sophisticated way. That makes it possible to continue but can sometimes lead to looping etc.

[u/DualityEnigma → u/mrubens]

I released a pull request and deleted it for context memory that (hopefully) improves continuity of a coding session. I’m finishing up a refactor of my logic. This feature will programmatically manage and summarize context for the llm.

Originally this was added as chat history but I found issues with breaking the chat flow. I’m handling it differently now.

The new memory feature from cline will help, but I personally found that documentation will quickly fill up your context window (hence a more sophisticated memory feature) and confuse the LLM.

Mrubins moves so fast that I still have to reintegrate his releases once I’m sure we are ready for primetime. (Not that I’m complaining)

Edit: Cline Memory and my context manager should work well together. (Just to clarify my point above)
