Roo Code 3.23.13 Release Notes (2025-07-17)

This release improves codebase indexing reliability, enhances UI clarity, and fixes several important bugs.

Codebase Indexing Memory Fix

We've resolved a critical memory leak that was causing crashes when indexing large codebases (thanks daniel-lxs, rxpjd, buck-0x, BenWilles!) (#5785):

Reduced Memory Usage: Memory consumption drops from ~500MB-1GB to just 10-50MB for large projects
Increased File Limit: Can now index up to 50,000 files (previously 3,000)
No More Crashes: Eliminates out-of-memory errors during indexing

This fix makes Roo Code much more reliable for enterprise-scale codebases.

Custom Mode Names: Fixed an issue where clearing a custom mode name would corrupt the YAML file and make all custom modes disappear (thanks daniel-lxs, kfxmvp!) (#5794)
Auto-Approve Checkbox: Resolved confusing checkbox states where it could show as checked with "None" selected or unchecked with options selected (#5602)
Date Format Clarity: Changed date format to ISO 8601 to prevent LLMs from misinterpreting dates like 7/11/2025 as November 7th instead of July 11th (thanks chrarnoldus!) (#5793)
Settings Save Issue: Fixed a bug where opening provider settings with OpenRouter required discarding non-existent changes (#5779)
LiteLLM URL Handling: Fixed baseURL handling when paths are included, ensuring requests go to the correct endpoints (thanks ChuKhaLi!) (#5697)
Project Analysis: Fixed list-files tool to ensure complete directory structure is visible when analyzing large projects (thanks qdaxb!) (#5303)

Ollama Timeout: Increased API timeouts from 10s/5s to 60s/30s to prevent failures with slower models (thanks daniel-lxs, danntee, vshvedov!) (#5778)
Ollama UI: Updated to use text inputs instead of dropdowns for model selection, matching other providers (thanks daniel-lxs!) (#5818)
Settings Organization: Moved less commonly used provider settings into an "Advanced settings" dropdown for cleaner UI (#5762)
Error Control: Added configurable "Error & Repetition Limit" setting to control when "Roo is having trouble" dialogs appear, with option to disable them entirely (thanks MuriloFP, anojndr!) (#5752)
Checkpoint Efficiency: Excluded Terraform and Terragrunt cache directories from checkpoints, reducing storage usage by up to 10x (thanks MuriloFP, ijin!) (#5750)
Message Editing: Overhauled message edit/delete interface with custom modals and improved workflow (thanks liwilliam2021!) (#5538)

Claude Code + Vertex AI: Added support for Vertex AI model name formatting when using Claude Code provider (thanks janaki-sasidhar!) (#5728)
API Task Control: Added ability to set command execution timeout via API when starting tasks (#5825)
