Professional / Community 2020.4

Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional/Community 2020.4 on 27 April 2020, adding default pretty printing of JSON, XML, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in the HTTP message editor, which can be toggled with a "Pretty" button or disabled under User options. The release adds Java 13 support and drops Java 8, and updates Burp Scanner's experimental embedded browser to Chromium 81.0.4044.122 to implement the latest security fixes.
Bottom line: Users who launch Burp directly from the JAR file rather than the installer must have Java 9 to 13 installed before the new JAR will run, and the dropped Java 8 support means those environments need to be checked before upgrading.
