n8n n8n@2.26.6 released on 17-06-2026
n8n n8n@2.26.6 is out now. Deployments that have experienced intermittent database connection issues will see fewer workflow errors because query acquisition is paused while the database connection is recovering.
Refer to the release compare (n8n@2.26.5…n8n@2.26.6) and commit b0458a4 on GitHub for the exact code change, review artifacts and verification steps.
What’s in this release
- Suspend query acquisition during database connection recovery to prevent workflows from grabbing queries while the DB is transiently unavailable (bug fix tracked in issue #32467, commit b0458a4).
- Reduces error noise and instability during temporary database outages, lowering the chance of failing workflows and queue thrashing.
- Fix submitted via PR with stage-review and cubic auto-review artifacts; see the release compare for CI and review details.
Upgrade notes
- No configuration changes or breaking changes are required; the behaviour change is internal. Upgrade is recommended for deployments that have seen DB connection flaps—monitor logs during your next DB recovery window to confirm reduced error rates.
- No special rollback steps are indicated; the update is a low-risk patch and can be reverted using your normal deployment procedure if needed.
