Recent updates
n8n@2.25.1
Todayn8n@2.25.1 includes a mix of product features and numerous bug fixes across core, agent tooling, and several nodes. The most developer-relevant items are behavior and API changes around API key listing, credentials/workflow related API responses, and default error-handling for AI tool nodes.
BreakingSecurityFeaturesn8n@2.24.0
Todayn8n@2.24.0 includes a set of fixes and capability improvements across core, CLI, editor, and multiple nodes. The most developer-relevant changes are likely around API contract/behavior adjustments (API key listing pagination, workflow credential endpoint response alignment) and execution semantics (AI tool nodes error handling default, Postgres SELECT empty-result handling, and Compression Node decompression size validation).
BreakingSecurityFeaturesn8n@2.22.6
Yesterdayn8n@2.22.6 is presented as a bug fix release with targeted fixes across core and the editor. The release notes document issues related to the Insights licensing paywall, code-builder session parsing, MCP registry server identification, timestamp handling in data tables, and an editor initialization regression, plus a revert of input validation for workflow and data table names.
n8n@2.23.2
Yesterdayn8n 2.23.2 is presented as a set of targeted bug fixes affecting the editor and core UI behavior, plus a couple of small core implementation adjustments. The release notes list 5 issues, but the provided code diff shows additional, much broader changes in other areas (notably the @n8n/agents package tests and CI workflow gating) that are not covered by the release notes.
n8n@1.123.50
YesterdayRelease n8n@1.123.50 contains a documented bug fix in core related to S3, adding configurable retries and more error details. The provided diff content, however, shows extensive CI/GitHub infrastructure additions and workflow support code that are not mentioned in the release notes.
n8n@2.22.5-exp.0
YesterdayThis release introduces a new UI experiment that surfaces an MCP access toggle directly on workflow cards. It also adjusts related UI logic to respect instance-level MCP module enablement and permission checks, and extends the MCP onboarding flow to support a new “workflow_card” entry surface.
Featuresn8n@2.23.1
5 days agoRelease n8n@2.23.1 was published on 2026-05-28. The provided release notes contain no documented changes beyond the version header, so developer-facing impact cannot be determined from the notes alone.
n8n@1.123.49
5 days agoThe release notes for n8n@1.123.49 document a single core bug fix: draining webhook close functions to prevent MCP connection leaks. The provided code diff, however, is dominated by new GitHub CI/CD infrastructure and documentation changes (telemetry, workflow docs, and a new CI filtering composite action), which are not mentioned in the release notes.
n8n@2.22.5
5 days agoRelease 2.22.5 includes no substantive release notes content beyond the header. The code diff shows security hardening in the expression VM runtime to ensure $jmespath / $jmesPath expressions cannot invoke host-side functions exposed on Workflow data.
BreakingSecurityn8n@2.22.4-exp.0
6 days agon8n@2.22.4-exp.0 (pre-release) includes a single documented feature in the editor: an MCP access toggle on workflow cards. The code diff for this release shows additional, not documented changes related to expression evaluation security, URL redirect handling utilities, and OpenAI node credential URL validation logic.
Featuresn8n@2.23.0
6 days agon8n 2.23.0 focuses on reliability improvements across core execution, AI-related workflow features, and several node-specific fixes (notably around binary handling and database query parameter typing). It also adds new API and workflow capabilities, plus a dependency update to address a urllib3 security issue.
BreakingSecurityFeaturesn8n@2.22.4
6 days agon8n 2.22.4 includes a single bug fix in the core regarding binary data renaming. It removes an overly aggressive temporary directory cleanup that could interfere with binary handling during rename operations.
n8n@2.21.8
6 days agoRelease n8n@2.21.8 contains effectively no release note content beyond the version header, so no documented changes are described. In the provided code diff excerpts, the visible changes are primarily to internal development and tooling configuration (Claude Code plugin/agents and a telemetry tracking script), plus removal of a bundle monitoring config file.
n8n@1.123.48
6 days agoRelease n8n@1.123.48 contains no documented release notes beyond the version header. The code diff shown indicates a large set of changes focused on GitHub CI infrastructure (new docs, new CI composite action, workflow/ownership configuration, and issue template adjustments).
