n8n, the popular workflow automation tool, has released version 2.39.4 on September 11, 2026. This minor patch focuses on a single but important fix for self-hosted users running n8n in sandboxed environments.
The update refines how the core engine selects npm installation flags when executing code in the sandbox. By adjusting the flags based on the hosting provider, n8n now ensures that dependencies are installed correctly regardless of the environment, reducing the likelihood of installation failures and improving overall reliability for users who rely on custom nodes or external packages.
No other changes are included in this release. Users are encouraged to update to benefit from this stability improvement.
