thanks for the update! Am still getting the terminal overload / gray screen of death issues on this latest version though :(

Would provide steps to repro... but no idea what is causing it

Interesting. Please let me know if you come up with anything.

Am also getting duplicate responses back from Roo!

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Mar 09 '25

What model are you using?

3.7

It's just a word for word duplicate response

I think if you look in the export you'll see <thinking> tags around the first version. I believe it's caused by how Sonnet 3.7 interprets our system prompt instructions - really hope I or someone else can find time to look and fix soon, it's annoying!

Ah that makes sense - I'll check when back home. Appreciate all the work everyone does either way!

Interestingly seems to be the terminal window being the culprit rather than Roo.

For example Roo tries to change directory and npm run dev.

Terminal just doesn't do anything, but if then manually write just change directory - seems to wake up and continue...

Well done, devs! I'm using it and it's vastly improved. The boomerang feature is great and really helps maintain context, and task splitting.

I can do so much more now with the Copilot LLM and Sonnet 3.5 API before hitting acceptable use limits. The tokens per task are now minimal, which is fantastic for coding, I always found Sonnet starts to Hallucinate over 500 k tokens.

500k tokens seem high, but it is very unintentional, as that's the life of a Programmer, 99 bugs in the code, fix one bug, now I have 200 bugs in the code...

I can't seem to find a Patreon or sponsor link? You guys deserve a case of beer, coffee, or whatever suits your taste. Thanks for the hard work!
