Roo Code 3.19.4 Release Notes (2025-06-05)

This patch release delivers critical memory leak fixes, new Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 06-05 model support, improved infrastructure for evals, and several quality-of-life and workflow enhancements.

Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 06-05 Model Support

We've added support for the newly released Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 06-05 model, giving you access to the latest advancements from Google (thanks daniel-lxs and shariqriazz!). This model is available in the Gemini, Vertex, and OpenRouter providers.

Major Memory Leak Fixes

We've resolved multiple memory leaks across the extension, resulting in improved stability and performance:

• ChatView: Fixed leaks from unmanaged async operations and setTimeouts (thanks kiwina!)
• WorkspaceTracker: FileSystemWatcher and other disposables are now properly cleaned up (thanks kiwina!)
• RooTips: setTimeout is now cleared to prevent state updates on unmounted components (thanks kiwina!)
• RooIgnoreController: FileSystemWatcher leak resolved by ensuring Task.dispose() is always called (thanks kiwina!)
• Clipboard: useCopyToClipboard now clears setTimeout to avoid memory leaks (thanks kiwina!)
• ClineProvider: Instance cleanup improved to prevent lingering resources (thanks xyOz-dev!)

QOL Improvements

• Fix reading PDF, DOCX, and IPYNB files in read_file tool: Ensures reliable reading of these file types (thanks samhvw8!)

Misc Improvements

• Enforce codebase_search as primary tool: Roo Code now always uses codebase_search as the first step for code understanding tasks, improving accuracy and consistency (thanks hannesrudolph!)
• Improved Docker setup for evals: Dockerfile and docker-compose updated for better isolation, real-time monitoring, and streamlined configuration
• Move evals into pnpm workspace, switch from SQLite to Postgres: Evals are now managed in a pnpm workspace and use PostgreSQL for improved scalability
• Refactor MCP to use getDefaultEnvironment for stdio client transport: Simplifies MCP client setup and improves maintainability (thanks samhvw8!)
• Get rid of "partial" component in names referencing not necessarily partial messages: Improves code clarity (thanks wkordalski!)
• Improve feature request template: Makes it easier to submit actionable feature requests (thanks elianiva!)
