+# Roo Code 3.33.2 Release Notes (2025-11-20)
+
+This patch release focuses on Gemini native tool calling, making Roo Code Cloud usage more visible, clarifying which models are free, and improving native tool reliability and performance.
+
+## QOL Improvements
+
+* **Gemini native tool calling (experimental, Google Gemini provider only)**: Add an experimental option for the Google Gemini provider to call tools through the native tool protocol (off by default), so Gemini-based workflows that rely on tools can behave more like other native-tool providers without going through XML translation. ([#9343](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9343))
+* **Roo Code Cloud credit balance in the extension**: Show your Roo Code Cloud RCC credit balance directly in the Roo provider settings when signed in, helping you track usage and avoid unexpected interruptions. ([#9386](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9386))
+* **Explicit 0 pricing for free models**: Display a 0 price for both input and output tokens on free models in the pricing UI so it is obvious which options are free instead of leaving prices blank. ([#9419](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9419))
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+* **Preserve images in native tool call results**: Ensure images attached to messages are preserved and passed through native tool calls to the model, so follow-up reasoning can still use important visual context instead of losing it as plain text only. ([#9401](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9401))
+* **Faster router model metadata loading**: Cut redundant getModel() calls and add a disk cache fallback for router-based providers, making capability metadata available on startup and reducing latency and flakiness when loading model info. ([#9410](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9410))
+
+## Documentation Updates
+
+* **Gemini native tools**: Update [Gemini Provider](/providers/gemini) and [How tools work](/basic-usage/how-tools-work) with details and examples for Gemini native tool calling, including when it is used and how it behaves with different tools. (docs-update, docs-example; PR [#9343](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9343))
+* **Roo Code Cloud credit balance**: Update [Roo Code Cloud billing & subscriptions](/roo-code-cloud/billing-subscriptions) and [Roo Code Cloud provider](/providers/roo-code-cloud) docs to show the in-extension RCC credit balance indicator and explain what it represents. (docs-update, docs-example; PR [#9386](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9386))
+* **Images in native tools**: Clarify in [How tools work](/basic-usage/how-tools-work) that native tool calls preserve both text and image content, and that attached images can still be used by the model after tools run. (docs-update; PR [#9401](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9401))
+* **Free model pricing display**: Refresh screenshots and wording in [Rates, limits, and pricing](/advanced-usage/rate-limits-costs) or related pricing documentation to show free models with explicit 0 input/output token prices. (docs-update; PR [#9419](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/9419))
