Professional / Community 2020.11.2

Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional/Community 2020.11.2 on 27 November 2020, updating Burp's UI with a cleaner look and a light or dark theme selectable at User options / Display / User interface. The release also adds an option to start scans with a headed browser, opening a window that shows the crawler navigating the target site in real time, configurable from the miscellaneous crawl settings.
What's compelling: The headed-browser crawl option is aimed at troubleshooting scan issues, but PortSwigger notes Burp Scanner will occasionally open additional browser windows during the crawl and stop using the previous one, with redundant windows closed automatically after a period of time - behavior a team watching scan traffic should expect rather than treat as a fault.
