You need to use a Displacement node now:

.blend files created with previous versions are supposed to be automatically converted, is that not the case for you?

Yeah it works now :) Thank you

Note: On page is written "This node will be automatically inserted into existing .blend files."
From "automatically inserted" I understood - if I try to connect texture directly to displacement, this "Displacement" node will be inserted in between nodes automatically.
Is that correct? Because it doesn't happen right now.

Also adding this node on string (between texture and output node), lets blender connect texture into "Normal" socket thats not correct for greyscale images.
It should be "Height" for greyscale.
Is that something that can be solved by blender?
For texture like checker node that is seen as RGB probably not, but for greyscale texture?

I know its not the topic of this thread, sorry. Just if you see it reasonable to ask for changes like that.

It will be automatically inserted in existing .blend files that already have displacement. Not when connecting a texture to displacement, since we don't know if you're using Displacement, Vector Displacement, or something custom.

About what happens when inserting a new node between, this system is not all that clever, since you had originally connected it to a vector output it assumed that's the type you wanted it connected to. We can try to make that smarter, but would not consider this a bug for now.

OK, I get it.
Thanks for patience :)
From word "existing" wasn't clear it's saved/open blend file (or file from previous versions) for me.
"Existing" .blend file is also current file I'm working on for me.
(Caused probably by my english?)

Auto Height/Normal connect question wasn't meant as a bug of course, mostly proposal on wrong place.
