Professional 1.6.15

Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional 1.6.15 on 16 April 2015, introducing Burp Collaborator, an external service Burp uses to help discover many kinds of vulnerabilities. The release is officially beta because of new types of Scanner checks and its reliance on a new service infrastructure, though PortSwigger states it tested the capabilities thoroughly and is not aware of any stability issues.

What's compelling: The tooling that finds vulnerabilities is itself now dependent on an external service infrastructure, so the testing your security program relies on inherits a third-party dependency the vendor is still calling beta.
