Node-RED v2.0.0 Release Notes

  • Migration from 1.x

    • Node-RED now requires Node.js 12.x or later.

    • The following nodes have had significant dependency updates. Unless stated, they should be fully backward compatible.

      • RBE: Relabelled as 'filter' to make it more discoverable and made part of the core palette, rather than as a separate module.
      • Tail: This node has been removed from the default palette. You can reinstall it from node-red-node-tail
      • HTTP Request: Reimplemented with a different underlying module. We have tried to maintain 100% functional compatibility, but it is possible some edge cases remain.
      • JSON: The schema validation option no longer supports JSON-Schema draft-04
      • HTML: Its underlying module has had a major version update. Should be fully backward compatible.

    • functionExternalModules is now enabled by default for new installs. If you have an existing settings file that contains this setting, you will need to set it to true yourself.

    The external modules will now get installed in your Node-RED user directory, (~/.node-red) rather than in a subdirectory. This means all dependencies will be listed in your top-level package.json. If you have existing external modules, they will get reinstalled to the new location when you first run Node-RED 2.0.
