Breaking

What changed?

The N8N_BLOCK_FILE_ACCESS_TO_N8N_FILES environment variable now also blocks access to n8n's static cache directory at ~/.cache/n8n/public.

When is action necessary?

If you are writing to or reading from a file at n8n's static cache directory via a node, e.g. Read/Write Files from Disk, please update your node to use a different path.

Full release notes for 1.55.0

Release notes from github.com/n8n-io/n8n/releases, and packages/cli/BREAKING-CHANGES.md, and CHANGELOG.md, checked 17 hours ago. Only text the vendor marks as breaking, or puts in a warning/caution/important note, is shown; read the full notes for anything else. n8n keeps its breaking changes in packages/cli/BREAKING-CHANGES.md, one section per version (“What changed?”, “When is action necessary?”); each section is quoted whole as “Breaking” on its version. 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.
