Burp Suite Free Edition v1.4 released

Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Free Edition v1.4 on 3 June 2011, described by Dafydd Stuttard as a major upgrade. The release added site map comparison, browser-based access control testing functions, preset request macros, session handling rules, in-browser rendering of responses from all Burp tools, character set recognition, upstream SOCKS proxy support, headless mode for scripted use, NTLMv2 and IPv6 support, and greater stability on OSX.
Why it matters: The free edition's additions - headless mode for unattended scripted usage and session handling rules for difficult situations - put automated, repeatable web testing in reach of teams that had not paid for the professional toolkit.
