Professional 1.3.08

Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional 1.3.08 on 23 August 2010, adding support for upstream SOCKS proxies, a headless mode enabled with -Djava.awt.headless=true, and per-panel "restore defaults" buttons. The release also improved Mac OSX stability, removed limitations on IHttpRequestResponse objects passed to IMenuItemHandler.menuItemClicked() so extensions can read and set messages in the proxy interception view and Burp Repeater, and changed encoding colors in Burp Decoder for legibility.
Why it matters: The extension API changes let custom menu items reapply a client-side checksum to a request after a user edits it, which matters to teams whose testing depends on Burp extensions rather than the stock scanner.
