Professional / Community 1.7.36
Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional and Community Edition 1.7.36 on Monday, 30 July 2018, fixing a bug that stopped the macro editor from correctly showing Proxy history, a non-functioning button for clearing an extension's output in the extensions UI, and excessive memory consumption during update downloads. The release notes state that Burp distributions will soon grow in size to support new features and recommend applying the fix in advance, and note that the Community Edition .DMG package was regenerated on 10 October 2018 for MacOS Mojave compatibility.
Bottom line: The memory fix is framed as preparation for larger distributions, so teams running older Burp builds face update downloads that consume more memory than the tool was handling well.
