Release date: 2025-12-05

Major Version Change#

n8n 2.0.0 is a hardening release, not a feature release. It strengthens n8n's position as an enterprise-grade platform with secure-by-default execution, removal of legacy options that caused edge-case bugs, and better performance under load. The goal is a more predictable foundation you can rely on for mission-critical workflows.

This release is currently in beta. There's no urgency to upgrade immediately — take time to review the breaking changes and assess your workflows using the migration tool before upgrading.

For the full story behind 2.0, read our announcement blog post.

Breaking changes#

Version 2.0 includes breaking changes across security defaults, data handling, and configuration. Key changes include:

  • Task runners enabled by default (Code node executions now run in isolated environments)
  • Environment variable access blocked from Code nodes by default
  • ExecuteCommand and LocalFileTrigger nodes disabled by default
  • In-memory binary data mode removed

Review the complete list and migration guidance in the v2.0 breaking changes docs.

Before you upgrade#

Use the Migration Report tool to identify workflow-level and instance-level issues that need attention before upgrading.

See the v2.0 migration tool docs for details.

Product updates#

Publish / Save workflow paradigm

n8n 2.0 introduces a safer approach to updating live workflows. The Save button now preserves your edits without changing production. A new Publish button lets you explicitly push changes live when ready. See Publish workflows for details.

Canvas and navigation improvements

Subtle refinements to the workflow editor canvas and reorganized sidebar navigation.
