Professional / Community 2020.12.1

Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional / Community 2020.12.1 on 17 December 2020, adding performance and user interface improvements, a JavaScript analysis improvement, and several bug fixes. The release speeds up the message editor and reduces its memory use on large messages, and Burp Scanner's dynamic JavaScript analysis now loads dynamically created scripts such as those made with document.write or document.createElement('script').
What you should know: Burp Scanner now executes scripts that pages generate at runtime, so a scanner that previously missed dynamically injected script sources will now reach code that was invisible to it before.
