Professional 2.0.21beta

Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional 2.0.21beta on Tuesday, 21 May 2019 at 16:34 UTC, a release containing a number of bugfixes. The release re-architects how the Chromium browser is embedded, which PortSwigger says is intended to improve long-term stability and security and has been thoroughly tested, with the company seeking real-world feedback on different platforms before coming out of beta.

Bottom line: The embedded browser is the component Burp Scanner uses to reach and render web targets, so a re-architecture of that layer changes the footing under every scan your team runs - and PortSwigger is explicitly asking for feedback from real-world use on different platforms before it exits beta.
