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: GitHub activity is very recent (last upstream push on 2026-06-10) and multiple n8n updates were published in early June 2026, indicating the project is in active development rather than maintenance mode.
- Update cadence: There are several updates within a few days (for example, 2.25.4, 2.25.5, 2.25.6, 2.26.0, 2.26.1, 2.26.2 around 2026-06-05 to 2026-06-10), suggesting a rapid cadence during this period.

Recent updates
n8n@2.26.3
2026-06-11n8n 2.26.3 includes a targeted bug fix in the editor related to how AI prompt suggestions are inserted. Instead of submitting the prompt, the editor now inserts the instance AI prompt suggestions.
n8n@1.123.55
2026-06-10The release notes for n8n@1.123.55 contain no documented changes. The code diff provided is almost entirely confined to repository CI and GitHub Actions infrastructure, with some tooling and release automation script updates.
BreakingSecurityFeaturesn8n@2.26.2
2026-06-10n8n v2.26.2 is a small patch release with one new core capability and a related bug fix. It adds telemetry for instance settings sourced from environment variables, and adjusts package override behavior to be more stable during dependency resolution.
Featuresn8n@2.25.7
2026-06-10Release 2.25.7 documents a single bug fix in the editor, specifically switching the workflow credential fetch behavior used by the node credential picker. The provided code diff snippet, however, shows many repository-level changes unrelated to the editor fix (not covered by the release notes).
n8n@2.26.1
2026-06-09This release appears to contain no runtime or user-facing changelog content, and the release notes indicate the changes were likely CI-related. The actual diff shows a Docker build workflow modification enabling SBOM generation, alongside version metadata updates.
n8n@2.26.0
2026-06-09n8n 2.26.0 adds several new capabilities for AI agents and MCP registry connections, including new embedding and workflow redaction controls. The release also tightens workflow redaction enforcement (via an instance redaction floor), fixes multiple OAuth and node-specific issues, and includes dependency bumps to address CVEs.
BreakingSecurityFeaturesn8n@2.25.6
2026-06-08n8n 2.25.6 includes a targeted editor bug fix related to how markdown editor text is copied. The change ensures copy behavior respects the user’s selection instead of copying unrelated content.
n8n@1.123.54
2026-06-08n8n@1.123.54 release notes only mention two items: a core Insights page paywall bug for licensed users, and fixes for multiple security issues in dependencies (including samlify and tmp). The code diff for this release shows substantial changes in GitHub Actions and CI tooling, including new composite actions, supply chain enforcement logic, and updates to release automation scripts, none of which are covered in the release notes.
BreakingSecurityFeaturesn8n@2.25.5
2026-06-05Release n8n@2.25.5 focuses on Instance AI sandbox correctness, keeping builder sandboxes thread-scoped and non-ephemeral, and improving recovery when remote sandboxes are stopped or deleted while idle. It also introduces execution provenance metadata (a new optional `source` field) that is used across the execution lifecycle and telemetry pipeline, and updates the frontend PostHog bootstrap flow to support experiment attribution.
n8n@2.23.4
2026-06-05Release 2.23.4 is documented as a single core bug fix: adding a DOMMatrix polyfill when parsing PDFs in the Data Loader. However, the provided code diff shows substantial repository additions and tooling changes related to Claude Code skills and agents, plus telemetry-related code and removal of a bundle monitoring config, none of which are mentioned in the release notes.
n8n@2.25.4
2026-06-05This is a patch release (n8n 2.25.4) published on 2026-06-05. The release notes provided contain no listed changes, so developers should review the diff between n8n@2.25.3 and n8n@2.25.4 to identify any undocumented fixes or behavior changes before upgrading.
n8n@1.123.53
2026-06-05Release notes for n8n@1.123.53 only mention a backport bump. The provided code diff, however, shows no n8n runtime or API change in the excerpts, and instead contains substantial, mostly contributor-facing changes to GitHub Actions infrastructure (new composite actions, CI telemetry docs, and CI filtering logic).
BreakingSecurityn8n@2.25.3
2026-06-04n8n 2.25.3 includes a bug fix to prevent evaluation executions from getting stuck in the 'new' status. It also adds an experimental AI Assistant capability related to showing empty state workflow previews.
Featuresn8n@2.23.3
2026-06-04Release n8n@2.23.3 documents a single core bug fix: preventing evaluation executions from stalling when their status is "new". The provided code diff excerpt, however, is dominated by changes to internal Claude Code (developer tooling) configuration and scripts, not by runtime core execution logic.
n8n@1.123.52
2026-06-04Release n8n@1.123.52 documents two core bug fixes: rejecting unsafe property tokens in an in-isolate $jmespath evaluation, and reporting only error class and stack for unhandled node errors. The provided code diff for this release is dominated by .github infrastructure changes (new CI actions, telemetry documentation, and CI/release scripting updates), which are not mentioned in the release notes.
n8n@1.123.51
2026-06-03Release notes for n8n@1.123.51 document two core bug fixes related to the VM expression engine and Prometheus metrics re-registration. However, the provided code diff shows many additional repository changes focused on GitHub Actions and internal CI/release automation that are not mentioned in the release notes.
n8n@2.25.2
2026-06-03This patch release focuses on two core bug fixes. It improves how external agent channels associate episodic memory with the correct user ID, and it fixes an edge case where the workflow import CLI could fail when subworkflow dependencies are present.
n8n@2.25.1
2026-06-02n8n@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
2026-06-02n8n@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
2026-06-01n8n@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.
