🎉 Roast v0.4.1 Released!
I’m excited to announce the release of Roast v0.4.1, packed with powerful new features to enhance your AI workflow automation experience.
🚀 Key Highlights
SQLite Session Storage (Default)
Roast now uses SQLite as the default storage backend, providing better performance and advanced querying capabilities. Your sessions are stored in ~/.roast/sessions.db with new commands to manage them:
roast sessions- List and filter stored sessionsroast session <id>- View detailed session informationroast sessions --cleanup --older-than 7d- Clean up old sessions
Need the old filesystem storage? Just use --file-storage flag!
📊 Token Consumption Reporting
Monitor your LLM usage with automatic token reporting after each step execution. Know exactly how many tokens you’re using and optimize your workflows accordingly.
⏱️ Command Timeouts
Never get stuck on hanging commands again! Both bash and cmd steps now support configurable timeouts:
- run_analysis:
cmd: "long-running-script.sh"
timeout: 30 # seconds🎨 Workflow Visualization
Generate beautiful diagrams of your workflows with the new roast diagram command:
roast diagram workflow.yml --output workflow.png✅ Comprehensive Validation
