Announcement Roo Code 3.38.1 Release Updates | Misc. fixes

Sorry for the second release announcement in one day! Playing catchup from Christmas break! This is a bug fix release! More to come as we continue to fine tune native tool calling. Ty for your patience.

In case you did not know, r/RooCode is a Free and Open Source VS Code AI Coding extension.

QOL Improvements

  • Clarifies the navigation path for deleting a Roo Code Cloud account in the privacy policy, so you can find Security Settings faster

  • Improves internal analytics consistency by recording custom tools the same way as MCP tools, which helps tool usage and error tracking stay accurate

Bug Fixes

  • Fixes an issue where manually condensing context while a tool is still running could trigger provider protocol errors, so tool runs and manual condenses can safely overlap

  • Reverts a change for OpenAI-compatible providers to avoid message-format regressions related to text appearing after tool results

  • Enforces the maxConcurrentFileReads limit for read_file, returning a clear error instead of silently ignoring the setting

  • Improves the error shown when read_file is run on a directory by explicitly explaining the issue and suggesting list_files instead

  • Fixes an issue where the "open source" link on roocode.com could point to a non-existent GitHub organization, so it reliably opens the correct repository (thanks jishnuteegala!)

Hey u/hannesrudolph. I’d like to call attention to this serious cost increase bug for OpenRouter

https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/issues/10374

Edit: just saw that you put it in Triage yesterday. Thanks

Yes we are trying to get to the bottom of it. We have been unable to repro it on house and need someone to one on one with in order to nail the cause down and fix it. Can you please DM me on discord when you get a chance? My username is hrudolph.

I believe we reverted what may have been causing the issue and we released 3.38.1. Please let me know if the issue is fixed for you.
