Roo Code

AI-ASSISTANTS
Velocity0.0

Open-source AI coding agent for VS Code with multi-mode autonomous editing.

Roo Code's visible releases are CLI point versions aimed at driving the agent from a script.

Current state
The four available entries are all Roo Code CLI releases from early March 2026, versions 0.1.14 through 0.1.17, shipped over roughly 36 hours. Every one of them touches programmatic control: a flag to supply a custom UUID session ID when creating tasks, a flag to choose which shell runs inline commands, and two fixes to stdin-stream mode covering follow-up message routing after a clarification question and truncated command output before the done event.
Where it's heading
This is the surface of the product being hardened for automation rather than for interactive use. Session IDs that a caller can set and validate, deterministic stdin streaming, and a selectable shell are the pieces you need to embed an agent in someone else's pipeline. The releases are small, fast and narrow, and the extension itself is not represented in this feed — so this reads as one component's release channel, not the product's.
Prediction
The run of stdin-stream fixes suggests further work on that path, but the newest entry here is from March 2026 and nothing has followed, so the current state of the CLI is not visible from this feed.

Recent moves

    CLI v0.1.17 lets callers supply their own session ID

    Adds a --create-with-session-id flag so a caller can assign the task's UUID instead of discovering it afterwards, with validation on create, resume and stdin-stream start. Small, but it is what lets an external system track a run it started.

    CLI v0.1.16 adds a flag to choose the execution shell

    A --terminal-shell flag selects which shell runs inline commands, validated at the CLI layer and passed through the normal settings path. Useful where the agent's default shell differs from the one a project's commands expect.

    CLI v0.1.15 fixes follow-up routing after a clarification question

    In stdin-stream mode, messages sent after the agent asked a clarifying question were being queued rather than delivered. A single routing fix on the automation path.

    CLI v0.1.14 stops truncating command output

    Ensures command output is fully streamed before the done event fires, so callers reading the stream no longer see cut-off output. Released within hours of the follow-up routing fix.
