# Roo Code 3.8.0 Release Notes (2025-03-07)
|
|
|
|
This major release introduces Boomerang Tasks, multi-block diff editing, multi-window support, `.rooignore`, Human Relay provider, and opt-in telemetry, alongside numerous improvements and fixes.
|
|
|
|
## Feature Highlights
|
|
|
|
* **Boomerang Tasks:** When using the `new_task` tool, child tasks now return a summary to the parent task upon completion, enabling automated hand-offs and results retrieval. (thanks shaybc!)
|
|
* **Multi-Block Diff Strategy (Experimental):** Added a new experimental diff editing strategy that applies multiple diff edits simultaneously for potentially faster and more complex changes. (thanks qdaxb!)
|
|
* **Multi-Window Support:** Roo Code can now run in multiple VS Code editor windows simultaneously. (thanks samhvw8!)
|
|
* **.rooignore Support:** Added support for a `.rooignore` file to prevent Roo Code from reading/writing specified files, with an option to exclude them from search/list results as well. (thanks mrubens, Cline!)
|
|
* **Human Relay Provider:** Introduced a new provider allowing manual copying of information to a Web AI and pasting the response back into Roo Code when direct integration isn't possible. (thanks NyxJae!)
|
|
* **Telemetry (Opt-in):** Added opt-in telemetry to collect anonymous usage data, helping improve Roo Code faster. Can be disabled anytime. [Privacy Policy](https://github.com/RooVetGit/Roo-Code/blob/main/PRIVACY.md). (thanks mrubens, Cline!)
