Breaking

What changed?

The node "Read File From Url" got removed as its functionality got added to "HTTP Request" node where it belongs.

When is action necessary?

If the "Read File From Url" node gets used in any workflow.

How to upgrade:

After upgrading open all workflows which contain a "Read File From Url" node. They will have a "?" as icon as they are not known anymore. Create a new "HTTP Request" node to replace the old one and add the same URL as the previous node had (in case you do not know it anymore you can select the old node, copy it and paste it in a text-editor, it will display all the data the node contained). Then set the "Response Format" to "File". Everything will then function again like before.


What changed?

When "HTTP Request" property "Response Format" was set to "String" it did save the data by default in the property "response". In the new version that can now be configured. The default value got also changed from "response" to "data" to match other nodes with similar functionality.

When is action necessary?

When "HTTP Request" nodes get used which have "Response Format" set to "String".

How to upgrade:

After upgrading open all workflows which contain the concerning Nodes and set "Binary Property" to "response".

Full release notes for 0.19.0

Release notes from github.com/n8n-io/n8n/releases, and packages/cli/BREAKING-CHANGES.md, and CHANGELOG.md, checked 17 hours ago.

The “BREAKING CHANGES” sections of CHANGELOG.md (0.198.0, 1.0.0, 1.27.0) are quoted too, and each section of the docs page “n8n 2.0 breaking changes” is quoted as “Upgrade guide” on 2.0.0. GitHub release notes are commit lists and are not quoted. Versions come from npm (package n8n). No required stop is recorded: neither file nor the 2.0 page names a version to install first.
