n8n stable released on 18-03-2026
n8n stable is out now. It fixes two regressions introduced in 2.12.2 — a core leadership-handling fix that emits a leader-takeover event on leadership mismatch, and an editor fix that restores workflow search in the command bar, which matters for multi-instance/leader-election setups and users who use the keyboard-driven command bar.
See the full release on GitHub for details: https://api.github.com/repos/n8n-io/n8n/releases/latest
