Professional 1.3.09

Summary: PortSwigger's Burp Suite release from 4 November 2010 added the ability to render any HTTP response within Burp in an external browser, served from a unique URL with the selected response returned in place of the original server's. The same release added an in-scope-only option for saving Burp state, extension API methods for loading and saving configuration and adding items to the site map, a built-in Intruder payload list of browser User-Agent strings, and a default-off option to enable all supported cipher suites during SSL negotiation.

What's compelling: The new browser-rendering feature serves the exact captured response in the context of the originally requested URL, so the browser handles relative links properly but may issue additional requests for images and CSS that Burp then processes in its usual way - a detail that matters when you are replaying a client's traffic.
