Roo Code 3.16.2 Release Notes (2025-05-07)

This release includes clearer XML tool use formatting instructions for easier understanding and improved error handling for a more robust experience.

Tool Use Improvements

• Clarified XML Tool Formatting Instructions: Documentation and prompts now provide clearer examples of how to format XML tool use, preventing the <tool_name> and other tool use errors.
• This fix is largely targeted at issues faced with Gemini 2.5 when using tools

Misc Improvements

• Improved Error Handling for Streaming: Fixed an issue where the app could get stuck waiting for a response. The app now recovers gracefully from errors during streaming, reducing the likelihood of unresponsive behavior and improving reliability. (thanks monkeyDluffy6017!)
