Roo Code 3.35.0 Release Notes (2025-12-01)

This release introduces metadata-driven subtasks that never lose their parent connection, plus native tool calling support for 15+ providers.

Metadata-Driven Subtasks

The connection between subtasks and parent tasks no longer breaks when you exit a task, crash, reboot, or reload VS Code (#9090). Subtask relationships are now controlled by metadata, so the parent-child link persists through any interruption.

Native tool calling support has been expanded to 15+ providers:

• Bedrock (#9698)
• Cerebras (#9692)
• Chutes (#9715)
• DeepInfra (#9691)
• DeepSeek & Doubao (#9671)
• Groq (#9673)
• LiteLLM (#9719)
• Ollama (#9696)
• OpenAI-compatible: Fireworks, SambaNova, Featherless, IO Intelligence (#9676)
• Requesty (#9672)
• Unbound (#9699)
