Roo Code 3.38.3 Release Notes (2026-01-03)
This release adds an option to recursively load project rules in subfolders and fixes several reliability issues.
QOL Improvements
- Recursive subfolder rules loading (optional): Adds a Context setting that can automatically load additional
.roo/rulesandAGENTS.mdfiles from subdirectories, making it easier to work in multi-repo/monorepo folders without manually switching roots (#10446)
Bug Fixes
- Fixes an issue where Claude Code users could be forced to sign in again roughly daily, improving session reliability and reducing interruptions (#10410)
- Fixes an issue where the in-chat text-to-speech (TTS) flow could crash if a message’s
textvalue wasn’t a string, preventing the chat panel from breaking mid-task (thanks notglossy!) (#10431) - Fixes an issue where Roo’s native
read_filetool schema didn’t advertise a maximum number of files per call, reducing failed tool calls in environments that enforce low limits (#10449)
