n8n n8n@2.22.4 released on 27-05-2026
n8n n8n@2.22.4 is out now. The runtime no longer aggressively deletes temporary directories during binary-file renames, preventing race conditions and potential data loss when workflows handle binary attachments or large files.

Upgrade notes
- No breaking changes expected. Recommended to upgrade if you process binary attachments or run workflows that rename or move files; monitor a few workflow runs after upgrading and report any regressions with workflow details.
- If you encounter problems, report them on GitHub with the failing workflow and reference issue #31165 and commit 978840d when filing.
Share any comments or regressions you see on the project issue tracker or community channels so maintainers can validate the fix.
