Four release trains running at once, and the top of the feed is all patch traffic.

◆Current state
n8n maintains at least four concurrent lines - 2.35, 2.34, 2.33 and the 1.123 LTS - and publishes each patch as its own changelog entry, so the visible top of the feed is dominated by single-fix releases and their backports. The substantive work in this window sits in 2.35.0, which carried the agent builder test runs, HITL in those test runs, Discord as an agent channel, MCP registry search exposed to the assistant, and instance-ai enabled by default. Everything published since has been correctness work on that foundation.
◆Where it's heading
The pattern is stable and predictable: a minor release lands the agent and MCP feature batch, then a week of patches hardens it across every supported line. The fixes themselves show where the agent surface is still settling - tool result bounds, resume payload handling, credential scope detection, expression isolates - which is the ordinary cost of having made Instance AI a default rather than an opt-in. Node maintenance runs underneath it all, with the Google Ads v21-to-v25 migration shipped simultaneously on two trains.
◆Prediction
The next 2.35 patches will keep absorbing agent-builder and MCP edge cases, and the following minor is the one to watch for the next feature batch; the parallel backporting to 2.34 and the 1.123 LTS will continue unchanged.

◆Recent moves

    Google Ads node moves to API v25; agent-session workflows skip approval

    2.35.3 migrates the Google Ads node off the sunset v21 API to v25, restores a Microsoft Teams OAuth scope, and adds a feature that skips update approval for workflows created in the same Instance AI session. The Google Ads migration is the part users would otherwise feel as a breakage, and the approval skip trims friction from the agent-authoring loop that 2.35.0 opened up.

    2.34 backport of the Google Ads v25 and Teams scope fixes

    The 2.34 backport of the same day's fixes - Google Ads v25, the Teams OAuth scope, and the continueErrorOutput details field. No changes unique to this line.

    Correct activation mode reported for outbox-activated triggers

    A single fix so triggers activated through the publication outbox report their real activation mode. Internal correctness on the publication path added in the 2.35 line.

    Dependency bumps and a scheduled-poll isolate fix

    LTS maintenance: adm-zip, tar, undici and fast-uri bumps plus a fix stopping scheduled poll ticks from releasing the activation's expression isolate. Housekeeping on the 1.123 line, which sees none of the agent work.

    Per-hop TLS options for proxied requests

    Applies TLS options per hop when requests pass through a proxy, backported to 2.34. Affects only proxied deployments and is invisible everywhere else.

    Data-table resume scope and proxy TLS fixes

    Accepts the Always allow scope on data-tables resume and carries the same per-hop proxy TLS fix. Two small corrections landing days after 2.35.0, in the usual post-minor hardening pattern.
