### Major Version Change
n8n 2.0.0 is a hardening release, not a feature release. It strengthens n8n's position as an enterprise-grade platform with secure-by-default execution, removal of legacy options that caused edge-case bugs, and better performance under load. The goal is a more predictable foundation you can rely on for mission-critical workflows.
This release is currently in **beta**. There's no urgency to upgrade immediately — take time to review the breaking changes and assess your workflows using the migration tool before upgrading.
For the full story behind 2.0, read our [announcement blog post](https://blog.n8n.io/introducing-n8n-2-0/).
### Breaking changes
Version 2.0 includes breaking changes across security defaults, data handling, and configuration. Key changes include:
- Task runners enabled by default (Code node executions now run in isolated environments)
- Environment variable access blocked from Code nodes by default
- ExecuteCommand and LocalFileTrigger nodes disabled by default
- In-memory binary data mode removed
Review the complete list and migration guidance in the [v2.0 breaking changes docs.](https://docs.n8n.io/2-0-breaking-changes/)
### Before you upgrade
Use the **Migration Report** tool to identify workflow-level and instance-level issues that need attention before upgrading.
See the [v2.0 migration tool docs](https://docs.n8n.io/migration-tool-v2/) for details.
### Product updates
**Publish / Save workflow paradigm**
n8n 2.0 introduces a safer approach to updating live workflows. The `Save` button now preserves your edits without changing production. A new `Publish` button lets you explicitly push changes live when ready. See [Publish workflows](https://docs.n8n.io/workflows/publish/) for details.
**Canvas and navigation improvements**
Subtle refinements to the workflow editor canvas and reorganized sidebar navigation.
