Professional 1.4.01
Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional 1.4.01 on 16 August 2011, fixing a thread synchronization problem that stopped the proxy forwarding requests under certain high-volume conditions, an NTLMv2 negotiation failure against certain server configurations, and a bug that sometimes caused active scan tasks to fail silently. The release also changed macro parameter handling, including URL-encoding derived parameters by default, adding a default-on option to encode values derived from the final macro response, and adding a default-off option to tolerate a mismatched URL when matching parameters.
What's compelling: The fixed bug that let active scan tasks fail silently meant scan results could look complete while coverage was missing, and the new URL-agnostic token option lets one macro's anti-CSRF token be reused across multiple URLs.
