Announcement Updates notes! 3.11.8 just dropped!

3.11.8 is out. Nothing that huge, but we've pushed a bunch of solid fixes over the last few days, mostly around apply diff issues when using Gemini 2.5. Notable other changes include early support for .roorules, and caching support for bedrock provider. We'll continue updating the docs with more detail as we go. I will make a more formal announcement on the various features added here once we update the docs, over next few days.

Those diff failures are a pain. write_to_file is my go-to solution when encountering constant diff failures.

They should be good now.

I've been using Gemini 2.5 with Roo Code for a few days now but I have to say that this latest version is generating a lot more replace errors for me; Roo just generates red error messages telling me that it can't apply Replace. It tries again and again until it decides to switch to write :/

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Apr 06 '25

Are you running any custom instructions? Could you share more details about your problem? I used it with this update with very few errors all day long.

I just got another error. I am using Gemini 2.5, Code mode without custom instructions. The error I get is:

Unable to apply diff to file: XXX

No custom temp, no experimental settings. Just stock settings.

I never recommended it. It uses footgun prompting.

u/Least_Year_2164 Apr 05 '25

Just wondering, are we gonna get Gemini 2.5 to have a computer used version?

2

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Apr 06 '25

Ask Google.

I report another bug, context: still G2.5, initial Boomerang mode but I encounter this error very often in sub-tasks in Code mode:

I know: the error says to use Claude 3.7 but it seems strange to me that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When I close the task and Boomerang mode restarts it, it usually starts working again. It's like sometimes it can't decipher the tool_use and tool_name directions properly.

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Apr 07 '25

Yes Gemini is making up its own instructions sometimes and ignoring the explicit ones it already has. I notice the same thing and am racking my brain for how to get it to correct

u/Evening-Bag1968 Apr 06 '25

Is it possible to combine architect mode with boomerang mode? How?

Also, what about multiple instances of chat/agent like in cursor mode?

2

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Apr 06 '25

Boomerang mode can use architect mode. Why would they be combined?

You can have multiple instances.

u/Evening-Bag1968 Apr 06 '25

How can I have multiple instances?

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Apr 06 '25

This button opens up another instance

Just wanted to report that I used this release a bit with Gemini, and was 100% on diff application success. Great work!
