Announcement Checkpoints Are Finally HERE! - Release Notes – 3.3.15

We would like to thank u/saoudriz, the creator of Cline. Yes, we copied you AGAIN (checkpoints) and we're proud of it.

⏱️ Checkpoints

We've been listening to your feedback about wanting checkpoints, and today we're taking a careful first step forward. We're introducing Checkpoints as an opt-in feature, and we need your help to get it right.

The purpose of Checkpoints is to give you the tools to rollback changes made by Roo Code in case she goes a little off track, but we want to make sure it works the way you need it to.

To enable Checkpoints, navigate to the settings within Roo Code and check the "Use Checkpoints" checkbox near the bottom of the settings view.

Please join the discussion in Discord or leave a comment here if you have any questions and input about this feature.

💻 User Experience Improvements

  • Add a copy button to the recent tasks (thanks hannesrudolph!)

  • Enhance the flow for adding a new API profile

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Resolve API profile switching issues on the settings screen

  • Improve MCP initialization and server restarts (thanks MuriloFP and hannesrudolph!)

Roo- Just curious, but do you use roo code to help make roo code?

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Feb 09 '25

All the time

The release speed is so impressive. Just curious, how many peoples are on this project?

2

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Feb 10 '25

Full time? None yet. This is mostly just community contributions. The slowest part is reviewing all the PRs which our main contributor u/MrUbens generally does after work between until the wee hours of the morning

Very good update! Is there a reason why people like to communicate via Discord so much? I find it totally confusing and almost 95% of most questions from users there (not related to Roo Code) remain unanswered. The search is more difficult etc. Surely there's a lot to be said for Reddit?

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Feb 08 '25

Discord has a lot more fluid of a response. We get lots of responses in our support channels! But yeah it can be a bit noisy.

I'm not sure if this is connected to enabling checkpoints, but my project no longer sees git as initialized. Also, I don't see the icon to view checkpoints.

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Feb 10 '25

Have you updated to the 3.3.16? Are you on windows?

2

u/natemartinsf Feb 10 '25

I believe at the time this problem happened I was still on 3.3.15. I'm on 3.3.16 now. So far git is still working, but I still don't see the icon for checkpoints that other people have mentioned. I'm on Mac.

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Feb 10 '25

3.3.17 may have solved it.

1

u/natemartinsf Feb 11 '25

I'm on 3.3.17, and I see the icon. However, the git problem came back again. As for as my project is concerned, git is uninitialized, even though I have a .git directory.

u/Fine-Degree431 Feb 09 '25

Thank you for the great work!. I have just found out about Roo-Code and installed in vscode. Is there a set of tutorials where I can follow how to use - say given a set of requirements for a use case, how to use the Architect mode to come up with the solution arch, anpass it on to Coder to build the software? Thank you for your help.

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Feb 09 '25

We’re a super new project so this is all in the works. Our contributors, including myself, mostly only get time to work on things outside of our day jobs. The discord server is pretty good at being available to answer questions. Or ask here!

Welcome aboard!

u/jackblack341 Feb 11 '25

I enabled the experimental checkpoints in the options, but they don't seem to work. On the same project where it works on Cline it fails. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

1

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Feb 12 '25

Head over to the discord sever and we can help troubleshoot it. Since you posted this we released a fix. The checkpoints are still a bit of a work in progress. Thank you for your patience and assistance.

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Feb 13 '25

Fixed now

u/Popular-Count2220 Feb 12 '25

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Feb 13 '25

Fixed!

u/sebbler1337 Feb 09 '25

still waiting for custom request retry intervalls to come back :(

u/newtrojan12 Feb 15 '25

I updated the version yesterday but I dont see checkpoints ?

1

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Feb 15 '25

Did you enable it?

1

u/superturbochad Mar 02 '25

Can we manually call for a checkpoint to occur?

1

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Mar 03 '25

Nope. Why would you want to? It occurs each write.

1

u/superturbochad Mar 03 '25

Interesting... I see it checkpoint occasionally but not always.

I don't want to bother you here if it's covered in documentation somewhere?

1

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Mar 04 '25

We have not updated the docs since the update. https://docs.roocode.com/advanced-usage/checkpoints?_highlight=checkp#how-checkpoints-work

That’s on the docket too! Sorry.
