Professional / Community 1.7.05
Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite 1.7.05 on 22 August 2016, adding native platform installers for Windows, Linux and OS X that bundle a private Java runtime environment so users no longer need to install or update Java. The installers, officially labeled experimental, integrate with standard OS features like the start menu, dock and taskbar, while plain JAR files remain available and update handling now lets users view release details and choose between beta and stable installers.
What you should know: The bundled private Java runtime removes a dependency that security teams often have to patch and track separately, but PortSwigger itself calls the installers experimental, so anyone standardizing on them is relying on a distribution channel the vendor has not yet declared production-ready.
