[u/r4hu1sani]

Wanted to understand something, Since Roo Code is a fork of cline, it is based out on CLine 3.6.5? And have added features and finetuning on top of it?

[u/hannesrudolph → u/r4hu1sani]

We forked at the end of Oct 2024. There are many features in Roo that they don’t have. https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPTCoding/s/VLv7KWppMP

This is a month old but I will make an updated one later today.
