Recent updates
n8n@2.44.4
n8n 2.44.4 includes targeted core fixes. It improves reliability of the log streaming webhook destination by reusing connections, and changes tracing behavior by disabling expression spans by default.
n8n@2.43.8
Release 2.43.8 documents turning off expression evaluation spans by default. The actual code changes in this release are much broader, including new Chat Hub tool gating logic, stricter workflow ID validation, additional SSRF/socket path protections, and changes to skill runtime initialization and model picker ordering.
BreakingSecurityFeaturesn8n@2.43.7
Release 2.43.7 documents a single user-visible change: production executions that are still running are suspended at worker shutdown and later resumed by another worker. The code diff for this release contains several additional behavioral changes across chat authorization, workflow validation, runtime agent/skill loading, network security guards, and cache hardening that are not mentioned in the release notes.
BreakingSecurityFeaturesn8n@2.44.3
n8n 2.44.3 is a small patch release focused on a core bug fix. It improves how Observer responses are handled so detail lines are preserved instead of being discarded.
n8n@2.43.6
Release 2.43.6 (per release notes) includes a single core bug fix: creating an XML parser for each webhook request body. The actual diff shown for this release contains many additional behavior changes across chat authorization, agent skill loading, workflow DTO validation, SSRF connection guarding, and data sanitization that are not documented in the provided release notes.
BreakingSecurityFeaturesn8n@2.44.2
n8n 2.44.2 includes a targeted core bug fix related to webhook request handling. It ensures an XML parser is created per webhook request body, which should prevent incorrect parsing behavior across requests.
n8n@1.123.85
Release notes for n8n@1.123.85 contain only an auto-generated comparison link and no human-written change list. The code diff, however, shows substantial changes focused on GitHub Actions CI infrastructure, including new telemetry documentation, new composite actions, and updates to the release versioning script. Several changes appear likely to impact internal automation and CI behavior but are not documented in the release notes.
BreakingSecurityFeaturesn8n@2.43.5
n8n@2.43.5 includes a bug fix to validate the size argument of the `chunk()` expression extension, and a UI improvement to show Gemini models by name while listing prioritized models first in model picker components. The release notes, however, do not mention any internal developer tooling or review-automation changes.
Featuresn8n@2.44.1
n8n 2.44.1 improves the Gemini integration UI by showing Gemini models by name and prioritizing commonly used models first in model selection pickers. This is a user-facing feature update intended to make model selection clearer and faster.
Featuresn8n@2.44.0
n8n 2.44.0 ships a set of AI and agent-related improvements, including additional agent channels, MCP client dialog enhancements, and expanded workflow tooling for agents. The release also strengthens policy and scope enforcement in areas like agent tooling and n8n Assistant permissions, which may change what operations succeed depending on your configuration.
BreakingFeaturesn8n@2.42.7
Release 2.42.7 (per notes) contains two core bug fixes: preventing concurrent credential tests from sharing a node type registry, and resuming tool calls for deferred tools that a skill loaded. The code changes shown in the diff indicate additional functional and API contract changes that are not mentioned in the release notes.
n8n@2.43.4
n8n 2.43.4 is a patch release focused on fixing core runtime issues. It addresses queue mode handling for Chat Hub segments and improves resuming tool calls for deferred tools.
n8n@2.43.3
n8n v2.43.3 adds a core safeguard that blocks creating or updating workflows that contain deprecated nodes, preventing these workflows from being edited going forward. It also updates the Google Gemini node to include additional image model options in its model picker.
BreakingFeaturesn8n@2.42.6
Release 2.42.6 documents two user-facing items, blocking workflow create or update when workflows contain deprecated nodes, and updating the Google Gemini node to show additional Nano Banana image models. The code diff, however, shows several additional behavioral and API schema changes across API DTOs and the AI runtime/prompt caching and HTTP proxy layers.
BreakingSecurityFeaturesn8n@1.123.84
The release notes for n8n@1.123.84 are essentially empty (auto-generated), with no listed code changes. The provided code diff indicates this release is dominated by changes to the GitHub CI infrastructure, including new CI telemetry documentation, new composite CI actions, and updates to release automation scripts.
BreakingSecurityn8n@2.43.2
n8n 2.43.2 contains targeted bug fixes. It improves compatibility for self-hosted Assistant setups using Kimi K3 and other OpenAI-compatible Assistant model providers, and fixes the editor experience by showing the Agent artifact during creation.
n8n@2.42.5
Release 2.42.5 is described as a single editor-related bug fix: showing the Agent artifact while the builder creates it. The provided code diff snapshot, however, contains a large number of newly added internal documentation and AI review-rule/skill files under .agents, which are not mentioned in the release notes.
n8n@2.42.4
Release 2.42.4 includes a set of mostly internal API and runtime changes, plus significant AI transport hardening. The provided release notes are empty (only an auto-generated PR link scaffold), so the actual behavioral and contract changes below are effectively undocumented.
SecurityFeaturesn8n@2.43.1
n8n@2.43.1 is a maintenance release focused on small editor UI corrections and incremental core performance improvements. Notably, it improves prompt caching behavior and prepares an AI-related sandbox in the background.
n8n@2.43.0
n8n 2.43.0 introduces several Agent-focused capabilities, including new guardrails and options for resumable execution via engine suspension at node boundaries. The release also contains multiple API and core behavior fixes, notably around the Public API schema, agent session handling, and stricter policy enforcement for CLI and workflow publishing.
