 # Roo Code 3.23.0 Release Notes (2025-07-09)
 
-This release graduates codebase indexing to a stable feature, introduces a powerful new todo list for managing complex tasks, and adds several new orchestrator modes to automate your workflow.
+This release graduates codebase indexing to a stable feature, introduces a powerful new todo list for managing complex tasks, and a whole lot of bug fixes!
 
 ## Codebase Indexing: Always On, Always Ready
 
 Codebase indexing has graduated from an experimental feature and is now a core part of Roo Code, available directly from your chat input. You can now manage your index by clicking the database icon in the bottom-right corner of the chat box. Once configured, the indexer runs automatically in the background, ensuring Roo always has an up-to-date semantic understanding of your project. To get started, see the [Codebase Indexing quick start guide](/features/codebase-indexing#quick-start-guide).

 ## New: Task Todo List
 
 This release introduces a new todo list feature to help you keep track of complex tasks. Roo Code will now display a checklist of steps for your task, ensuring that no step is missed. You can view and manage the todo list directly in the chat interface.
 
-- **Automated Task Breakdown**: The Architect mode now defaults to creating a structured `update_todo_list` instead of a markdown plan, making its output more actionable and consistent (thanks mrubens, hannesrudolph!) ([#5472](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/5472))
-- **Task Management Hint**: Roo Code now provides a hint to use the `update_todo_list` tool for complicated tasks when the todo list is empty (thanks mrubens!) ([#5473](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/5473))
-- **Auto-Approval Setting**: Added a new setting `alwaysAllowUpdateTodoList` to give users more granular control over which actions can be auto-approved (thanks mrubens!) ([#5482](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/5482))

-## New: Message Editing

-- **Edit Halting**: Prevents users from attempting to edit a message while a response is streaming (thanks mrubens!) ([#5494](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/5494))
-
-## Orchestrator Mode Improvements
-
-We've added and improved several orchestrator modes to streamline complex workflows.
-
-- **Issue Fixer Orchestrator**: Introduces a new mode that automates the entire workflow for resolving GitHub issues, from analysis to PR creation (thanks MuriloFP!) ([#5379](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/5379), [#5366](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/5366))

-- **PR Reviewer Orchestrator**: Now delegates specialized analysis to other modes for more comprehensive code reviews (thanks MuriloFP!) ([#5406](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/5406))
