Roo Code 3.50.0 Release Notes (2026-02-19)
This release adds Gemini 3.1 Pro support across Gemini and Vertex providers and overhauls the CLI's stdin interface with a structured NDJSON protocol and new list subcommands.
Gemini 3.1 Pro Support
gemini-3.1-pro-preview is now available in the Gemini and Vertex AI providers. The Gemini default model has been updated from gemini-3-pro-preview to gemini-3.1-pro-preview, so new users and fresh configurations automatically get the latest model. A customtools variant (gemini-3.1-pro-preview-customtools) is also available in the Gemini provider. Medium reasoning effort is now explicitly supported in model metadata, so your medium reasoning effort setting is preserved instead of silently falling back to a different level. (thanks PeterDaveHello!) (#11608)
Misc Improvements
- CLI NDJSON Stdin Protocol: The CLI's stdin interface has been overhauled from raw text lines to a structured NDJSON command protocol with
start,message,cancel,ping, andshutdowncommands,requestIdcorrelation, andack/done/errorlifecycle events for reliable programmatic automation. Newlist commands,list modes, andlist modelssubcommands provide programmatic discovery of available resources in JSON and plain-text formats. (#11597)
