Professional / Community 2021.6
Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional/Community 2021.6 on 26 May 2021, restoring the hex view to the message editor for displaying and editing messages in hexadecimal notation, which the release notes say is useful for binary formats. The release also enables HTTP/2 for requests issued by extensions and adds two new makeHttpRequest methods to IBurpExtenderCallbacks with a forceHttp1 flag to force HTTP/1 usage, alongside several bug fixes.
What you should know: Extensions that issue their own requests now default to HTTP/2 unless the new forceHttp1 flag is set, so any tooling built on the older makeHttpRequest methods may behave differently against targets than it did before this release.
