n8n weekly roundup: 2.46 is stable, 2.47 and 3.1.0 in beta

n8n 2.46 became the stable release this week: on November 7, npm's stable and latest tags point to 2.46.6. The beta track moved to 2.47 (2.47.0 on November 3, now 2.47.2), and the 3.x beta got 3.1.0 on Docker the same day. There was no new security update and no new n8n blog post, so if you run production on 2.x, the one action this week is to move to 2.46.6.

The short version

• Stable: 2.46.6, after 2.46.4 (November 2), 2.46.5 and 2.46.6 (both November 4). The 2.45 line's last release was 2.45.7 on October 30.
• Beta: 2.47.0, 2.47.1 and 2.47.2 (November 3-4), with an on/off switch for n8n Assistant, Agent version history and Postgres SSL certificates.
• 3.x beta: 3.1.0 on November 3, Docker images only. n8n says the stable 3.x release follows in early December.
• npm install fix: 2.46.6 and 2.47.2 "make npm install of n8n work on all platforms again".
• Security: no new advisories. The latest update is still October 28's.
• Events: n8n at Microsoft Ignite in San Francisco (November 17-19), a Builder Night with Vercel and Arize AI, and buildathons in Manila, Santa Clara and Kolkata.

n8n 2.46 is now the stable release

Last week 2.46 was on the beta track. This week it moved to stable and latest on npm (our 2.47 roundup recorded stable at 2.46.4 on November 4). Three patches followed, per n8n's changelog:

• 2.46.4 (November 2): expression fixes (Error objects in item data, keys named like __proto__, linked items across long pagination loops) and a faster Migration Report scan.
• 2.46.5 (November 4): the Migration Report hides archived workflows by default and shows a message when it takes long to load. Expressions can read named array keys.
• 2.46.6 (November 4): one fix, "Make npm install of n8n work on all platforms again" (release).

If you're on 2.45.x, our 2.46 roundup covers what changes, including personal credentials in team projects. Pin 2.46.6 for both the n8n and task runner images; our guide to release channels and version pinning shows how. The 1.x line also got 1.123.92 on November 2, per npm.

n8n 2.47 on the beta track

n8n 2.47.0 came out on November 3, followed by 2.47.1 and 2.47.2 on November 4. On November 7, npm's beta, next and rc tags point to 2.47.2. From the 2.47.0 changelog:

• n8n Assistant: an on/off switch and an env var to control it.
• Agents: version history and a publication timeline, and saved versions you can publish independently of the draft.
• Postgres node: custom SSL certificate support.
• Queue mode: each new job goes to one idle worker in turn, and a stop request now stops the job on the worker even when it comes from a different process.

2.47.1 brings the same two Migration Report changes as 2.46.5, and 2.47.2 the same npm install fix as 2.46.6. Our 2.47 roundup has the details and our upgrade test from 2.46.4.

n8n 3.x: 3.1.0 beta, stable still planned for December

n8n published 3.1.0 on November 3: GitHub has the n8n@3.1.0 tag, and Docker Hub has the n8nio/n8n:3.1.0 and n8nio/runners:3.1.0 images. Like 3.0.0 and 3.0.1, it isn't on npm: n8n's 3.0 announcement says self-hosted n8n now runs on Docker, and installing with npm or npx n8n is no longer supported.

Every entry in the 3.1.0 changelog also appears in either 3.0.0 or 2.47.0, so 3.1.0 is the 3.x counterpart of 2.47: the 3.0 breaking changes plus 2.47's features and fixes. Docker Hub also keeps publishing daily v3-nightly images (the latest on November 7).

Nothing changed in the plan: n8n's 3.0 announcement says the stable release follows in early December, 2.x then gets security and critical bug fixes for 12 months, and support for 1.x ends on December 31, 2026. The upgrade is one way, so start with the Migration Report, and if you still install with npm, move to Docker first.
