# Roo Code 3.18.0 Release Notes (2025-05-21)
|
|
|
|
This release introduces comprehensive context condensing improvements, YAML support for custom modes, new AI model integrations, and numerous quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes.
|
|

|
|
## Context Condensing Upgrades
|
|
Our Intelligent Context Condensing feature sees significant enhancements for better control and clarity. **Note**: As of version 3.19.0, this feature is enabled by default.
|
|
|
|
Watch a quick overview:
|
|
<div style={{width: '50%', margin: 'auto'}}>
|
|
<div style={{position: 'relative', paddingBottom: '177.77%', height: 0, overflow: 'hidden'}}>
|
|
<iframe
|
|
frameBorder="0"
|
|
allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share"
|
|
allowFullScreen
|
|
style={{position: 'absolute', top: 0, left: 0, width: '100%', height: '100%'}}
|
|
></iframe>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
Key updates:
|
|
* **Adjustable Condensing Threshold & Manual Control**: Fine-tune automatic condensing or trigger it manually. [Learn more](/features/intelligent-context-condensing#controlling-context-condensing).
|
|
* **Clear UI Indicators**: Better visual feedback during condensing. [Details](/features/intelligent-context-condensing#understanding-context-condensing-activity).
|
|
* **Accurate Token Counting**: Improved accuracy for context and cost calculations. [More info](/features/intelligent-context-condensing#token-counting).
|
|
|
|
For full details, see the main [Intelligent Context Condensing documentation](/features/intelligent-context-condensing).

## Custom Modes: YAML Support
|
|
|
|
Custom mode configuration is now significantly improved with **YAML support** for both global and project-level (`.roomodes`) definitions. YAML is the new default, offering superior readability with cleaner syntax, support for comments (`#`), and easier multi-line string management. While JSON remains supported for backward compatibility, YAML streamlines mode creation, sharing, and version control.
|
|
|
|
For comprehensive details on YAML benefits, syntax, and migrating existing JSON configurations, please see our updated [Custom Modes documentation](/features/custom-modes#migration-to-yaml-format). (thanks R-omk! Additional thanks to GreatScottyMac for the YAML inspiration!)

|
## API Cost Control: Request Limits
|
|
To enhance API cost management, you can now set a **Max Requests** limit for auto-approved actions. This prevents Roo Code from making an excessive number of consecutive API calls without your re-approval.
|
|
|
|
<img src="/img/v3.18.0/v3.18.0.png" alt="Setting the Max Requests limit for auto-approved actions in Roo Code settings." width="600" />

*Setting the "Max Requests" for auto-approved actions.*
|
|
|
|
<img src="/img/v3.18.0/v3.18.0-1.png" alt="Warning message indicating the auto-approved request limit has been reached." width="600" />
|
|
*Notification when the auto-approved request limit is met.*
|
|
|
|
Learn more about configuring this safeguard in our [Rate Limits and Costs documentation](/advanced-usage/rate-limits-costs#limiting-auto-approved-requests). (Inspired by Cline, thanks hassoncs!)

## New Model Version: Gemini 2.5 Flash Preview (May 2025)
|
|
Access the latest `gemini-2.5-flash-preview-05-20` model, including its thinking variant. This cutting-edge addition is available via both the generic [Gemini provider](/providers/gemini) and the [Vertex provider](/providers/vertex), further expanding your AI model options. (thanks shariqriazz, daniel-lxs!)

## QOL Improvements
|
|
|
|
* **Resizable Prompt Textareas**: Restored vertical resizing for prompt input textareas (role definition, custom instructions, support prompts) for easier viewing and editing of longer prompts.
|
|
* **Settings Import**: Error messages are now provided in multiple languages if an import fails. (thanks ChuKhaLi!)
|

|
|
|
|
## Bug Fixes
|
|
|
|
* **VSCode Command Execution**: Command execution is now type-safe, reducing potential errors.
|
|
* **Settings Import**: The system now gracefully handles missing `globalSettings` in import files. (thanks ChuKhaLi!)
|
|
* **Diff View Scrolling**: The diff view no longer scrolls unnecessarily during content updates. (thanks qdaxb!)
|
|
* **Syntax Highlighting**: Improved syntax highlighting consistency across file listings, code definitions, and error messages. (thanks KJ7LNW!)
|
|
* **Grey Screen Issue**: Implemented a fix for the "grey screen" issue by gracefully handling errors when closing diff views, preventing memory leaks. (thanks xyOz-dev!)
|
|
* **Settings Import Error Message**: The `settings_import_failed` message is now correctly categorized as an error. (thanks ChuKhaLi!)
|
|
* **File Links to Line 0**: Links to files with line number 0 now correctly open at the first line, preventing errors. (thanks RSO!)
|
|
* **Packaging `tiktoken.wasm`**: Fixed packaging to include the correct `tiktoken/lite/tiktoken_bg.wasm` file for accurate token counting. (thanks vagadiya!)
|
|
* **Audio Playback**: Moved audio playback to the webview to ensure cross-platform compatibility and reliability for notifications and sounds. (thanks SmartManoj, samhvw8!)

## Provider Updates
|
|
|
|
* **LM Studio and Ollama Token Tracking**: Token usage is now tracked for [LM Studio](/providers/lmstudio) and [Ollama](/providers/ollama) providers. (thanks xyOz-dev!)
|
|
* **LM Studio Reasoning Support**: Added support for parsing "think" tags in [LM Studio](/providers/lmstudio) responses for enhanced transparency into the AI's process. (thanks avtc!)
|
|
* **Qwen3 Model Series for Chutes**: Added new Qwen3 models to the Chutes provider (e.g., `Qwen/Qwen3-235B-A22B`). (thanks zeozeozeo!)
|
|
* **Unbound Provider Model Refresh**: Added a refresh button for Unbound models to easily update the list of available models and get immediate feedback on API key validity. (thanks pugazhendhi-m!)

## Misc
|
|
|
|
* **Auto-reload in Dev Mode**: Core file changes now automatically trigger a window reload in development mode for a faster workflow. (thanks hassoncs!)
|
|
* **Simplified Loop Syntax**: Refactored loop structures in multiple components to use `for...of` loops for improved readability. (thanks noritaka1166!)
