Roo Code 3.23.9 Release Notes (2025-01-13)

This release adds Windows support for Claude Code, introduces configurable command timeouts, and fixes critical workflow issues.

Windows Support

We've added native Windows support for the Claude Code provider (thanks SannidhyaSah, kwk9892!) (#5615):

Fixed Windows Compatibility: Claude Code provider no longer gets stuck on Windows systems
Improved Input Handling: Uses stdin-based input to eliminate command-line length limitations
Cross-Platform: Works reliably across Windows, macOS, and Linux

We've added configurable timeout settings for command execution:

Timeout Control: Set timeouts from 0-600 seconds to prevent long-running commands from blocking workflows
Clear Error Messages: Commands that timeout display helpful error messages
Better Visual Feedback: Timeout errors now appear in red for better visibility

Directory Tracking: Fixed command execution directory tracking - Roo Code now properly maintains awareness of the current working directory when executing commands, preventing issues where subsequent commands would run in the wrong location after using cd commands (thanks chris-garrett!) (#5667)
Embedding Model Switching: Fixed vector dimension mismatch errors when switching between embedding models with different dimensions, allowing successful transitions from high-dimensional models to lower-dimensional models like Google Gemini (thanks hubeizys!) (#5617)

Google Gemini: Added support for Google's new gemini-embedding-001 model with improved performance and higher dimensional embeddings (3072 vs 768) for better codebase indexing and search (thanks daniel-lxs!) (#5698)
