n8n 2.44.5

n8n 2.44.5 is a patch release of the workflow automation platform with two bug fixes: queue-mode job outcomes are now tracked per job when a shutdown is resumed, and the editor loads credential types on startup.

Why it matters

For teams that self-host n8n to run business automations and AI agent workflows, this patch tightens reliability in queue mode across restarts and fixes credential types not loading when the editor starts.

What's new

• Core: queue job outcomes are keyed by job when n8n resumes after a shutdown, so results are matched to the right job (#41404).
• Editor: credential types are loaded on startup (#41405).
• Released October 21, 2026 on the 2.44 line; it follows 2.44.4 and contains only these two bug fixes.
