Professional 2.1.05
Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional 2.1.05 on 5 November 2019, adding experimental support for using Burp's embedded Chromium browser to perform all navigation during scans. The release says the approach could improve scan coverage in crawling and auditing, but lists caveats including poor performance, no support for non-link navigational elements such as DIV onclick handlers, unaudited asynchronous XHR requests, and no frame, iframe, or file upload support.
What's compelling: PortSwigger states the feature is not a suitable replacement for the default scanning mode, so teams that switch to browser-based navigation to reach JavaScript-heavy applications may lose coverage elsewhere while accepting poor performance.
