n8n is an automation platform hosted on GitHub, provided by the n8n-io organization. It’s useful for building and running workflow automations (integrations and processes) based on the project’s code and documentation available on the GitHub page.
Project status
- Actively maintained: The repository shows very recent activity (last upstream push on 2026-08-26) and multiple consecutive updates in the last few days (2.37.1, 2.37.0, 2.36.7, 2.36.6, 2.36.5, etc.), indicating ongoing development rather than dormancy.
- Apparent update cadence: Updates are arriving roughly every 1 to 4 days in this window (Aug 20 through Aug 25), with at least one more push on Aug 26, suggesting an active, fast-moving release stream for bug fixes and incremental API hardening.

Recent updates
n8n@2.37.6
n8n v2.37.6 includes a single core bug fix related to dynamic credential storage. The change ensures a thread execution id is properly passed through, which should improve correctness for workflows using dynamic credentials.
n8n@2.36.9
Release n8n@2.36.9 is documented as a bug fix to apply proxy environment variables consistently across packages and processes. The actual code diff shows broader proxy and SSRF related behavior changes (including axios routing changes and SSRF policy enforcement for proxy hosts), plus an API type change that alters accepted pagination query parameters for workflow history.
Securityn8n@2.37.4
n8n 2.37.4 contains a targeted bug fix in the core credential handling. A domain-restricted credential is now allowed to work in its own node, restoring expected behavior for restricted credentials.
n8n@2.36.8
Release 2.36.8 release notes document a single bug fix in core credential handling. However, the provided code diff for this release includes multiple security and API-facing behavior changes in the HTTP/SSRF pipeline and in Public API pagination DTOs, none of which are mentioned in the release notes.
Securityn8n@2.37.3
n8n 2.37.3 includes targeted bug fixes focused on the distroless runners Docker image. It ensures required runtime libraries (glibc and libatomic) are included as matched pairs, improving compatibility of the runner environment.
n8n@2.37.1
n8n@2.37.1 includes a bug fix to ensure OAuth2 token requests are routed through environment proxies across processes. The code change is implemented in the @n8n/client-oauth2 package and is backed by new unit and integration tests covering HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, and NO_PROXY behavior.
n8n@2.36.7
n8n@2.36.7 includes a small API change to cursor-based workflow history pagination, plus several API and core bug fixes. The code diff also contains substantial backend-network changes related to SSRF and proxy host validation that are not mentioned in the release notes.
BreakingFeaturesn8n@2.37.0
n8n 2.37.0 adds several developer- and agent-focused capabilities, including Slack Agent view support and streaming for “Message an Agent” workflows, plus multiple new REST API endpoints for role and role-mapping rule management. The release also includes API contract hardening around decorator routes and schema behavior that could affect custom integrations, along with a broad set of stability and UX bug fixes.
BreakingFeaturesn8n@2.36.6
This release (n8n@2.36.6) includes a single editor-related bug fix focused on the Instance AI landing page. It updates UI behavior to properly show personalization and community registration modals.
n8n@2.36.5
Release 2.36.5 is a small patch focused on fixing AI assistant instance verification behavior. It increases the max output token limit used during the model verification probe.
n8n@2.35.7
n8n 2.35.7 contains a targeted bug fix related to AI Assistant instance verification. Specifically, the verification probe that calls the OpenAI Responses API now uses a higher max output token limit to satisfy API constraints.
n8n@2.36.4
n8n 2.36.4 focuses on core bug fixes. The changes improve how environment variables are normalized before schema-based parsing, add validation for chat and MCP trigger auth modes, and adjust trigger closeFunction handling to run inside an expression isolate.
n8n@1.123.75
Release n8n@1.123.75 documents four small core bug fixes related to expression engine isolation and trigger/command handling. However, the provided code diff is heavily dominated by GitHub CI infrastructure additions and tooling changes, with no mention of any of those items in the release notes.
n8n@2.35.6
Release 2.35.6 release notes document three core bug fixes: normalizing env values before schema parsing, resolving end-user credentials when loading node parameters, and isolating a trigger closeFunction expression at creation time. However, the provided code diff shows a much broader and larger change set than what is described, with the visible changes dominated by newly added repository documentation under `.agents/skills/`. No concrete runtime/API breaking changes are identifiable from the shown diff excerpt, but the release notes do not reflect the scale or category of changes present in the diff.
n8n@2.35.5
Release n8n@2.35.5 documents four bug fixes, mostly in core task runner/expression engine behavior and one editor UI styling fix. The provided code diff content, however, is dominated by large additions of repository “agent skill” documentation files under .agents/skills, which are not mentioned in the release notes.
n8n@1.123.74
The release notes for n8n@1.123.74 only document a single bug fix in core (CAT-3451, PR #36593). The provided code diff, however, shows extensive changes across the .github CI/CD and release automation infrastructure, with multiple workflow-impacting additions and refactors that are not mentioned in the release notes.
SecurityFeaturesn8n@2.36.3
n8n 2.36.3 focuses on targeted bug fixes across core execution and the editor UI. The release reduces unnecessary task runner restarts, limits expression engine initialization to commands that evaluate expressions, and improves test webhook isolation timing.
n8n@2.36.2
n8n@2.36.2 is a bug fix release with changes across the API layer, core credential handling, and the editor UI. The most notable developer impact is an API behavior fix related to returning request schemas for decorator routes under /discover.
n8n@2.35.4
Release n8n@2.35.4 documents two bug fixes (a public API discovery route schema response, and a Google Ads node metric selection) plus two small features (AI Assistant setup funnel telemetry, and showing OAuth scopes for managed credentials). The provided code diff excerpt, however, shows a large volume of internal tooling and documentation additions that are not mentioned in the release notes.
Featuresn8n@1.123.73
Release n8n@1.123.73 documents one core bug fix related to dynamic node parameter requests and a feature to make the VM expression engine the default on 1.x. However, the provided code diff is dominated by changes to GitHub Actions and CI infrastructure, including new telemetry, new composite actions, and refactors/removals of existing CI setup actions. These CI and automation changes are not mentioned in the release notes.
