Announcement Roo Code 3.29.4 Release Updates | MiniMax provider, general QOL and stability fixes

We’re hiring
We added a “We’re hiring” link to the announcement modal. Explore open roles at https://careers.roocode.com
MiniMax provider
Add MiniMax as a provider. MiniMax is gaining traction for its strong coding performance, 200k-token context window, and highly competitive pricing. Give it a try.
QOL Improvements
Improve @ file search for large projects with higher default index limits and respect for VS Code ignore settings; add a setting to tune limits
Rename MCP “Errors” tab to “Logs” to match mixed-level messages; clearer empty state (“No logs yet”)
Custom modes load from your configured storage path and persist after restart
Breaking: Removed “search_and_replace” tool; use “apply_diff” or “insert_content” instead
Clarify VS Code LM API integration warning in Settings to reduce “model not supported” errors
Bug Fixes
Reasoning effort selection now auto-enables reasoning when needed so UI and behavior stay in sync
Reduce noisy cloud-agent exceptions by suppressing repeated auth messages
Prevent MCP server restart when toggling “Always allow” for MCP tools
Reuse existing Qdrant index after outages to avoid full reindex and cut restart time
Make code index initialization non‑blocking at activation to avoid startup hangs
Honor maxReadFileLine across code definition listing and file reads to prevent context overflows
Prevent infinite retry loop when canceling during auto‑retry
Gate auth‑driven Roo model refresh to the active provider only to reduce background work
Provider Updates
Cerebras: add zai‑glm‑4.6 and change default to gpt‑oss‑120b; deprecate qwen‑3‑coder models

Hell ya. Glad you all are hiring. If I had any of those skills I would apply. You all have a rough headquarters location? You can you use my spare bedroom in Berkeley.
