n8n 2.x Release Notes Archived as Stable Hits 2.28.4 and Beta 2.29.2

The n8n 2.x release notes on the official documentation site capture how the open-source workflow automation platform delivers new features and bug fixes across the entire 2.x generation. Although n8n has archived this release-notes page and will no longer update it, the log still documents the cadence, versioning rules, and headline changes that matter when you plan production upgrades today.

As of the final page revision, the current stable build is n8n 2.28.4 and the beta channel is at 2.29.2. n8n ships a new minor version most weeks: stable releases are meant for production workloads, while beta builds carry the freshest code and may be less predictable. Scanning recent 2.27 through 2.29 entries shows a steady stream of patch releases—2.28.4, 2.28.3, 2.29.1, and 2.29.0 among them—most described as bug-fix updates with contributor credits on larger minor bumps.

The project follows semantic versioning in MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH form. A major increment signals incompatible changes that can require user action; minors add backward-compatible functionality; patches deliver backward-compatible fixes. That structure helps operators decide whether a weekly pull is a low-risk patch or a minor that deserves staging. Upgrade steps depend on your platform: n8n Cloud, an npm install, or a Docker deployment each has its own documented path, and mixing channels on a production instance is rarely advisable.

One feature still highlighted in the archived 2.x timeline is MCP server connectivity from n8n 2.22.0. Agents can connect to select MCP servers—including Apify, Linear, monday.com, Notion, and PostHog—from the nodes panel without hand-configuring an MCP Client node and credentials. Integrations outside that curated list still flow through the manual MCP Client setup, so teams building custom toolchains should plan accordingly.

For live patch notes and every future version, n8n now points maintainers to GitHub Releases and the curated Changelog rather than this static 2.x page. Read more: n8n Docs — Release notes 2.x, GitHub Releases.
