n8n 0.116.0 → 0.117.0

What changed?

Removed the "Activation Trigger" node. This node was replaced by two other nodes.

The "Activation Trigger" node was added on version 0.113.0 but was not fully compliant to UX, so we decided to refactor and change it ASAP so it affects the least possible users.

The new nodes are "n8n Trigger" and "Workflow Trigger". Behavior-wise, the nodes do the same, we just split the functionality to make it more intuitive to users.

When is action necessary?

If you use the "Activation Trigger" in any of your workflows, please replace it by the new nodes.

How to upgrade:

Remove the previous node and add the new ones according to your workflows.

Changed the behavior for nodes that use Postgres Wire Protocol: Postgres, QuestDB, CrateDB and TimescaleDB.

All nodes have been standardized and now follow the same patterns. Behavior will be the same for most cases, but new added functionality can now be explored.

You can now also inform how you would like n8n to execute queries. Default mode is Multiple queries which translates to previous behavior, but you can now run them Independently or Transaction. Also, Continue on Fail now plays a major role for the new modes.

The node output for insert operations now rely on the new parameter Return fields, just like update operations did previously.

When is action necessary?

If you rely on the output returned by insert operations for any of the mentioned nodes, we recommend you review your workflows.

By default, all insert operations will have Return fields: * as the default, setting, returning all information inserted.

Previously, the node would return all information it received, without taking into account what actually happened in the database.
