-7. Wait for PR approval and merge:
-
-    - Request review if required by your workflow
-    - Ensure CI checks pass
-    - Merge the PR using: `gh pr merge --squash --delete-branch`
-    - Or merge via the GitHub UI
-
-8. Run the release script from the monorepo root:
-
-    ```bash
-    # Ensure you're on the updated main branch after the PR merge
-    git checkout main
-    git pull origin main
-
-    # Run the release script
-    ./apps/cli/scripts/release.sh
-    ```
-
-    The release script will automatically:
-
-    - Build the extension and CLI
-    - Create a platform-specific tarball
-    - Verify the installation works correctly (runs --help, --version, and e2e test)
-    - Extract changelog content and include it in the GitHub release notes
-    - Create the GitHub release with the tarball attached
-
-9. After a successful release, verify:
-    - Check the release page: https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/releases
-    - Verify the "What's New" section contains the changelog content
-    - Test installation: `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/main/apps/cli/install.sh | sh`
-
-**Notes:**
-
-- The release script requires GitHub CLI (`gh`) to be installed and authenticated
-- If a release already exists for the tag, the script will prompt to delete and recreate it
-- The script creates a tarball for the current platform only (darwin-arm64, darwin-x64, linux-arm64, or linux-x64)
-- Multi-platform releases require running the script on each platform and manually uploading additional tarballs

+## [0.0.50] - 2026-02-05
+
+### Added
+
+- **Linux Support**: The CLI now supports Linux platforms in addition to macOS
+- **Roo Provider API Key Support**: Allow `--api-key` flag and `ROO_API_KEY` environment variable for the roo provider instead of requiring cloud auth token
+- **Exit on Error**: New `--exit-on-error` flag to exit immediately on API request errors instead of retrying, useful for CI/CD pipelines
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Improved Dev Experience**: Dev scripts now use `tsx` for running directly from source without building first
+- **Path Resolution Fixes**: Fixed path resolution in [`version.ts`](src/lib/utils/version.ts), [`extension.ts`](src/lib/utils/extension.ts), and [`extension-host.ts`](src/agent/extension-host.ts) to work from both source and bundled locations
+- **Debug Logging**: Debug log file (`~/.roo/cli-debug.log`) is now disabled by default unless `--debug` flag is passed
+- Updated README with complete environment variable table and dev workflow documentation
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Corrected example in install script
+
+### Removed
+
+- Dropped macOS 13 support
+
 ## [0.0.49] - 2026-01-18
