n8n version 2.0.0 BETA introduces security, reliability, and performance enhancements, marking a significant update since version 1.0's release in July 2023. Unlike typical major version updates that feature dramatic redesigns, this release focuses on under-the-hood improvements, including enhanced security through defaults that limit access in Code nodes, and the introduction of task runners for better isolation and resource management. The update also simplifies the platform by removing legacy options, reducing edge cases, and introducing a new SQLite pooling driver that significantly boosts speed. To aid users in transitioning to version 2.0, a Migration Report tool identifies potential issues that need addressing before an upgrade. This release, supported by the n8n community and engineering team, also includes UI/UX enhancements like a safer workflow publishing model and improved navigation, with future updates planned to occur more frequently.
