Professional 1.7.02beta
Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional 1.7.02beta on 25 April 2016, a release that improves the resilience of disk-based projects when the operating system terminates abnormally. Because Burp uses memory-mapped files, an OS crash can leave in-memory data unwritten and a project file partially corrupted, so the release forces more frequent writes to disk and reopens project files in a more fault-tolerant manner.
Bottom line: The disk-based projects feature stays labeled beta for this reason alone: PortSwigger says it is still investigating ways to avoid data loss after an abnormal OS termination, so a crash can still cost you project data until further enhancements ship.
