Professional 1.5.02

Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional 1.5.02 on 19 December 2012, adding native support for Burp extensions written in Ruby. Using the feature requires downloading JRuby and either configuring the JRuby JAR location in the Extender options or loading the JAR on startup via the Java classpath, and the release remains a beta pending feedback on the new extensibility framework.

What's compelling: The extension framework was still beta and dependent on a separate JRuby JAR that users had to locate and load themselves, so any tooling built on it carried the risk of breaking with the next release.
