Roo Code 3.28.9 Release Notes (2025-09-26)
This release upgrades Supernova to a 1M‑token context, improves onboarding and UI clarity, and cleans up prompts for leaner outputs.
Supernova upgraded to 1M-token context
Supernova is now roo/code-supernova-1-million with a 1,000,000‑token context window. Existing settings migrate automatically; no action needed:
- Work across very large files and long multi‑step conversations with far fewer truncations
- More stable execution on big refactors and long file read/write loops
- Auto‑migrate: previous roo/code-supernova maps to roo/code-supernova-1-million
Quick start: https://app.roocode.com/l/supernova
QOL Improvements
- Reset logs you out of Roo Code Cloud: Reset now also logs you out of Roo Code Cloud for a truly clean slate; the reset still completes even if logout fails. (#8312)
- Measure engagement with upsell messages: Telemetry for DismissibleUpsell tracks dismiss vs click (upsellId only) to tune messaging and reduce noise; no user-facing behavior change. (#8309)
- Discover Roo Code Cloud faster in the welcome screen: Experiment to show the Roo provider on the welcome screen (localized strings with click telemetry) to speed up setup. (#8317)
- Cleaner prompts (no “thinking” tags): Removes <thinking> tags for cleaner output, fewer tokens, and better model compatibility; preserves the plain‑language rule to confirm tool success. (#8319)
- Simpler Requesty model refresh: Removes an unnecessary warning when refreshing the Requesty models list so you can fetch new policies without leaving the screen (thanks requesty-JohnCosta27!) (#7710)
Bug Fixes
- Tool‑use guidance clarity: Clarifies the retry suggestion so the model selects the correct file‑reading step during apply‑diff retries, reducing failed file edits. (#8315)
