Professional / Community 2026.4.2
Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional and Community Edition 2026.4.2 on 8 May 2026, introducing a combined installer for both editions while existing setup, configuration, and licensing continue to work as before. The release also lets extensions stop requests from being sent or handle them entirely within Burp by returning custom responses, and adds Markdown formatting in Notes and collection-level notes through a new About tab in Organizer.
What you should know: Extensions gaining the ability to block requests or answer them inside Burp removes the workarounds testers previously relied on, which changes how much of the HTTP traffic in your scanning workflow is shaped by third-party extension code rather than the tool itself.
