Roo Code 3.22 Release Notes

This major release introduces 1-click task sharing, global rule directories, enhanced mode discovery, and comprehensive bug fixes for memory leaks and provider integration.

1-Click Task Sharing​

We've added the ability to share your Roo Code tasks publicly right from within the extension (learn more):

  • Public Sharing: Select "Share Publicly" to generate a shareable link that anyone can access
  • Automatic Clipboard Copy: Generated links are automatically copied to your clipboard for easy sharing
  • Collaboration Ready: Share tasks with team members, collaborators, or anyone who needs to view your task and conversation history

Global Rules Directory Support​

We've added support for cross-workspace custom instruction sharing through global directory loading (thanks samhvw8!) (#5016):

  • Global Rules: Store rules in ~/.roo/rules/ for consistent configuration across all projects
  • Project-Specific Rules: Use .roo/rules/ directories for project-specific customizations
  • Hierarchical Loading: Global rules load first, with project rules taking precedence for overrides
  • Team Collaboration: Version-control project rules to share team standards and workflows

This enables configuration management across projects and machines, perfect for organizational onboarding and maintaining consistent development environments. Learn how to set up global rules.

QOL Improvements​

  • Mode Discovery: Enhanced mode selector with highlighting for new users, redesigned interface, and descriptive text. Also moved the Roo Code Marketplace and Mode configuration buttons out of the top menu for better organization (thanks brunobergher!) (#4902)

Bug Fixes​

  • Memory Leaks: Fixed multiple memory leaks in chat interface and CodeBlock component that could cause crashes and grey screens (thanks kiwina, xyOz-dev!) (#4244, #4190)
  • Task Names: Fixed blank entries in task history - tasks now display meaningful names like "Task #1 (Incomplete)" (thanks daniel-lxs!) (#5071)
  • Settings Import: Fixed import functionality when configuration includes allowed commands (thanks catrielmuller!) (#5110)
  • File Creation: Fixed write_to_file tool failing with newline-only or empty content (thanks Githubguy132010!) (#3550)
