n8n stable released on 20-05-2026
n8n stable is out now. It fixes a race/instability in the workflow editor that could cause credential selections to be lost or behave inconsistently, so anyone who has seen credential-related glitches when building or editing workflows should consider updating.
See the repository release/compare page for the official metadata and commit details, or pull the updated Docker image / install the patch and restart n8n services for the update.
What’s in this release
- Stabilises how credentials are created, updated and surfaced in the workflow editor so credential selections persist (fix referenced in issue #30731 and commit 8c58173).
- Fixes a race/instability that could cause credential state to be lost or behave inconsistently during workflow setup.
- Small, targeted patch release with no functional API changes or schema migrations expected; intended as a safe, minimal update (compare n8n@2.21.4…n8n@2.21.5).
Upgrade notes
- No breaking changes expected. Pull the updated Docker image or install the patch, restart n8n services and test workflow setup flows in a staging environment if you run critical production workflows.
- If you need to roll back, redeploy the previous stable image (n8n@2.21.4) and report any recurring issues to issue #30731 with reproduction steps and server logs.
Share your experience with the fix — report regressions or confirm the behaviour on issue #30731 or via the repository release page so others can see whether the patch resolves the problem.
