Professional / Community 2026.11
Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional / Community 2026.11 on 13 November 2026, adding project creation and opening from the title bar, a Burp > Restart option, and a new Academy tab for browsing and launching Web Security Academy labs inside Burp. The release moves Burp AI's Explore and Explain features into Burp AT tasks, adds AI-powered explanations in HTTP editors, WebSocket message editors, Scanner issue advisories and Collaborator DNS interactions, and lets private Collaborator servers set interaction retention from 1 to 999 days or "unlimited" against a 14-day default.
Why it matters: Restarting Burp closes and reopens it, so anything an extension was running does not continue after the restart - and a temporary project keeps its settings but loses its contents. The Collaborator retention setting caps at 999 days or "unlimited," but the server may still delete interactions under memory pressure regardless of that setting.
