Introducing Burp Projects
Summary: PortSwigger's latest major Burp release introduces project files that hold all data and configuration for a piece of work, saved incrementally as you go, replacing the existing state file functionality. The release also splits configuration into user-level and project-level options, adds JSON configuration files that can be partial, and adds two command line arguments, --project-file and --config-file; the new project files are not available on 32-bit platforms or in the free edition of Burp.
Bottom line: The old API methods for options and state files are now deprecated and slated for removal, so any Burp extensions or workflows built on them will eventually break. Teams that standardize scan configurations per client or per scan type now have to decide how to migrate existing state files and configurations before that removal lands.
