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, and shutdown commands, requestId correlation, and ack/done/error lifecycle events for reliable programmatic automation. New list commands, list modes, and list models subcommands provide programmatic discovery of available resources in JSON and plain-text formats. (#11597)
