Roo Code 3.28.3 Release Notes (2025-09-16)

This release improves slash command discoverability, adds a global pause for auto-approve, introduces an "Add to Context" shortcut, refines the composer UI, adds region-aware Z.ai plans, and fixes Gemini bracket rendering, Claude Code tool filtering, an editing context menu issue, embedder key errors, and C# parsing.

QOL Improvements​

  • Temporarily pause auto-approve with a global “Enabled” switch so you can pause without losing your per-toggle selections; the UI clearly distinguishes global vs. per-toggle states (#8024)
  • Slash commands management moved to Settings > Slash Commands with a gear shortcut from the chat popover; the popover is now selection-only for quick use (#7988)
  • Keyboard shortcut to quickly “Add to Context” (macOS: Cmd+Y; Windows/Linux: Ctrl+Y) (#7908)
  • Add Image button moved inside the text area (top-right) and Enhance Prompt positioned above Send to reduce pointer travel and clarify layout (#7989)
  • Composer action buttons now appear only when there’s text input, reducing visual clutter and accidental clicks (#7987)
  • New Task button icon switched from “+” to a compose/pencil icon to better match its purpose and align with codicon standards (#7942)

Bug Fixes​

  • Restore square brackets in Gemini-generated code so arrays/indexers render correctly (e.g., string[] items = new string[5];) (thanks AtkinsDynamicObjects!) (#7577)
  • Filter out Claude Code built-in tools (ExitPlanMode, BashOutput, KillBash) to avoid erroneous tool calls and distracting warnings (thanks juliettefournier-econ!) (#7818)
  • Fix an issue where the context menu could be obscured while editing messages; the menu stays visible and usable across screen sizes (thanks NaccOll, mini2s!) (#7951)
  • Surface a clear, actionable error instead of cryptic ByteString conversion failures during code indexing when API keys contain invalid/special characters (thanks PavelA85!) (#8008)
  • Correct C# tree-sitter query so C# files are parsed and indexed properly, improving semantic search, navigation, and context quality (thanks mubeen-zulfiqar, vadash, Source-GuyCoder!) (#7813)

Misc Improvements​

  • Dependency update: bump axios to 1.12.0 to improve reliability and security of HTTP requests (thanks dependabot!) (#7963)

Provider Updates​

  • Z.ai coding plan support with region-aware options (International/China), automatic base URL selection, and sensible defaults to simplify setup (thanks chrarnoldus!) (#8003)

Documentation Updates​

  • Contributor workflow: internal CONTRIBUTING templates refined for clearer bug reports and feature requests (no user-facing docs change) (#8014)
