n8n 3.0 is out, shipped the same morning as 2.46 after weeks of migration-report groundwork.

◆Current state
n8n published 3.0.0 and 2.46.0 within five minutes on October 27, with nearly identical fix lists covering agent runtime, Assistant execution redaction, queue-worker locking and stream cleanup. What is specific to 3.0 is small in the notes: community packages declare v3 node API compatibility, the outbound request guard blocks more IP ranges by default, and misconfigured S3 binary data modes fail at boot. The preceding weeks were spent on a migration report that flags v3 breaking changes, such as the removed LangChain Code node, with CSV export and project filters.
◆Where it's heading
n8n is running a two-track transition: 3.0 is available, while 2.x keeps getting minors and the 1.x line still gets patches. Most of the engineering in both lines goes to the agent runtime and governance, including credential access checks, redaction and model routing. The migration report is how n8n expects self-hosters to move across on their own schedule.
◆Prediction
Expect 3.0.x patches within days and 2.46 and 2.45 backports alongside them; the entries don't show when 2.x stops getting minors.

◆Recent moves

    n8n@3.0.1

    The first 3.0 patch lands a day after launch with expression-engine fixes (ExpressionError naming, undefined values in QuickJS results), faster editor first load and UI polish. Routine post-major cleanup.

    n8n@1.123.89

    The 1.x line still gets patches after 3.0: an infinite pagination loop in the Google Drive v1 node and a memory leak from idle MCP Server Trigger sessions are fixed. It confirms three major lines are being maintained at once.

    n8n@2.46.1

    2.46.1 sharpens how the v3 migration report describes removed nodes and Edit Image, and takes the same expression fixes as 3.0.1. The migration report keeps getting tuned now that 3.0 is out.

    n8n@2.45.5

    2.45.5 backports the 3.0.1 fixes and adds configurable prefixes for custom OpenTelemetry attribute keys. A small observability option, shipped on a minor that is two versions behind the newest 2.x.

    Eval build: agent stream shows real call_tool names

    An internal eval build whose one change shows the real tool name for call_tool calls in the agent stream. It is test-channel work on the agent runtime, not a release users install.

    Eval build: three-PR test merge for instance AI

    An eval tag cut from a merge branch that bundles three PRs for testing. Nothing here ships to users directly.
