Professional 1.6beta2
Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional 1.6beta2 on Thursday, 3 April 2014, fixing bugs including corrupted saved state files from v1.6beta, an HTTP message viewer display issue, and a cursor misplacement on some OS X retina machines. The release also addressed Proxy SSL negotiation problems on Java 8, which Burp did not yet officially support, and fixed missed XSS edge cases tied to URL-encoding of specific payload characters and an Intruder custom iterator payload bug.
Bottom line: The release fixed XSS edge cases that Burp had been missing, meaning scans run on the prior beta could have passed over real cross-site scripting findings tied to URL-encoded payload characters.
